Daft.ie Scraper - Ireland Sale & Rent Property Listings

---

Need a dedicated scraper for one website?

This Actor is the general tool for protected public pages. If you already have one specific site and a field list, a dedicated scraper is faster and more stable: listing + detail, your export format, delivered to your Apify account or as a standalone runnable client.

I confirm the tier before you pay. The clock starts after that confirmation.

Start here: Submit a custom scraper request

	Starter $50	Dedicated $100	Hard target $200–999
Site	1 simple anti-bot public site	1 medium anti-bot public site	Cloudflare / aggressive anti-bot / custom parser
Scope	Full listing + detail fields	Listing + detail + pagination, your field list	Agreed fields, repeatable runs
Delivery	CSV/JSON · Apify Actor or standalone runnable client (script/CLI)	Same, plus a sample run and short instructions	Feasibility first, then build
Time	24 hours after we confirm the URL is in scope	48 hours after confirmation	Quoted after feasibility
Fixes	30 days for small public-layout changes	30 days	Scoped in the quote

Hard-target sites are not a 100% uptime promise. You get a dedicated parser that can be re-run on the agreed fields. If the URL is not feasible, you get a refund or pay an assessment fee only — you will know before the build starts.

Not in Starter/Dedicated: login-walled data, native APK / Windows installer / full web apps, or two-year maintenance. Those are a separate quote.

What does Daft Property Scraper do?

Scrape Daft.ie Ireland property listings for sale and to rent, then export structured data to a Dataset. This Actor is a practical Daft.ie API alternative for researchers, agencies, investors, and automations that need clean Irish housing data from Daft.ie.

Enter an Ireland location (for example dublin-city or cork-city) or paste Daft search / property URLs. Optionally open each listing detail page to enrich prices, BER ratings, agent contacts, PRS sub-units, amenities, and photos.

What can this Daft Scraper do?

• Scrape Daft for-sale listings (channel=BUY)
• Scrape Daft to-rent listings (channel=RENT)
• Build searches from a location path slug or free text (for example Dublin City → dublin-city)
• Paginate Daft search result pages (SRP, ~20 listings per page)
• Enrich listings from property detail pages (LDP) via __NEXT_DATA__
• Extract prices, beds, baths, property type, and BER rating
• Capture seller / agent names, branch, and phone contacts when present
• Collect images, facilities, description, and PRS (multi-unit rent) structures
• Cap runs with maxItems and maxPages
• Run on the Apify platform with scheduling, Dataset export, webhooks, and API access
• Use Apify Proxy (recommended: residential + IE) for more stable cloud runs

How to scrape Daft property data

1. Open this Actor and click Try for free (or Start).
2. Set location (for example dublin-city) or provide Daft startUrls.
3. Choose channel: BUY for sale or RENT for to-rent.
4. Set maxItems and maxPages for a small test first.
5. Keep scrapeDetails enabled when you need full listing enrichment.
6. Prefer Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy with country IE on cloud runs.
7. Click Start, then download the Dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or JSONL.

{
  "id": 1234567,
  "url": "https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/apartment-smithfield-dublin-7/1234567",

}

Key-value store helpers:

• OUTPUT / RUN_SUMMARY — counts, engine, URLs, warnings
• ERROR_SUMMARY — present when a run fails

Lead & contact fields

Every Dataset row carries the full lead/clue key set so records are outreach-ready. Daft.ie publishes already-visible seller phones, listing address, agent name, and branch on guest pages. Per-listing email and seller website/socials are not available (see Honest limitations). The keys follow the mission lead schema (phones / emails / address / geo / person / org / web / leadSource / leadReveal / leadAbsences).

Field	Type	Meaning on Daft.ie	Source surface
phones	[{value, type, e164?}]	Seller mobile and/or landline from __NEXT_DATA__ seller.phone + seller.alternativePhone (plain JSON; LDP also has a tel: href). type is mobile when the Irish mobile prefix matches (083/085/086/087/089 or +353 8x), otherwise landline. e164 is set when the value already has a +353 prefix. Samples: 0871508895 (mobile), 01 8510920 (landline), +353 1 919 8985.	Sale/rent SRP card and LDP. Some PRS rent LDPs have no seller.phone.
emails	[{value, type}]	Per-listing seller email. Always empty on Daft.ie: the seller object has no email field and contact is a gated form (showContactForm: true). Area-level topPerformingAgents.agents[].email on sale SRP (e.g. eoin@raycooke.ie) is not attached to listing items.	All listing items: empty + leadAbsences.emails
address	{street, unit, locality, region, postalCode, country, full}	Listing address from LDP addressDetails. unit = 门牌 (leading door number parsed from streetAddress, e.g. 39). postalCode = Eircode (e.g. D09X9C0). country = IE. street is the raw streetAddress (already embeds locality/region). SRP cards have no listing address (only seller.address office).	LDP (scrapeDetails=true, default). SRP: leadAbsences.address=本站无
geo	{lat, lng}	WGS84 coordinates from point.coordinates [lon, lat], in addition to (not instead of) the street address. Sample: 53.380128, -6.224207.	LDP (also present on many SRP cards)
person	{name, role}	Seller contact from seller.name. role is agent. May be a person (Shane Doyle) or a team desk (Niche Living Enquiry Dun Laoghaire, Sales Team).	SRP card + LDP
org	{name, id}	Agency / branch from seller.branch + seller.sellerId. Sample: Forbes Property / 366. PSRA licence stays on the legacy seller.licenceNumber object.	SRP card + LDP
web	{website, socials[]}	Seller website and social links. Daft.ie seller objects have no website / socialMedia fields, so website is null and socials is [].	All items: leadAbsences.web=本站无
leadSource	enum	search = SRP card only; detail = LDP / enriched item (scrapeDetails=true).	All items
leadReveal	enum	visible site-wide. Daft.ie has revealControls=[] — no "show phone / email / address" click, no reveal XHR.	All items
leadAbsences	object/map	Per-subfield reason when a lead is empty: 闸门锁 (gated, e.g. per-listing email / some PRS phones), 本站无 (site does not publish, e.g. web, SRP listing address), or 未验证.	All items

A null / empty lead value is always paired with a matching leadAbsences reason — the key is never silently omitted.

Sample detail item (sale LDP, Dublin 9)

{
  "id": 6560632,
  "url": "https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/39-elm-mount-close-dublin-9-beaumont-dublin-9/6560632",
  "title": "39 Elm Mount Close, Dublin 9, Beaumont, Dublin 9, D09X9C0",
  "leadSource": "detail",
  "leadReveal": "visible",
  "phones": [
    { "value": "0871508895", "type": "mobile" },
    { "value": "01 8510920", "type": "landline" }
  ],
  "emails": [],
  "address": {
    "street": "39 Elm Mount Close, Dublin 9, Beaumont, Dublin 9",
    "unit": "39",
    "locality": "Beaumont",
    "region": "Dublin",
    "postalCode": "D09X9C0",
    "country": "IE",
    "full": "39 Elm Mount Close, Dublin 9, Beaumont, Dublin 9, Beaumont, Dublin, D09X9C0"
  },
  "geo": { "lat": 53.380128, "lng": -6.224207 },
  "person": { "name": "Shane Doyle", "role": "agent" },
  "org": { "name": "Forbes Property", "id": 366 },
  "web": { "website": null, "socials": [] },
  "leadAbsences": {
    "emails": "闸门锁",
    "web": "本站无"
  }
}

Reveal cost

Daft.ie exposes seller phones, listing address, person, and org without any click-reveal or XHR-after-click step. revealControls=[] on every surface. The only extra XHR on the page (/jy2x/ag/g/c) is analytics, not a lead channel.

• No "show phone / email" click and no post-click XHR — nothing to trigger, so no added latency, proxy, or rate-limit cost for revealing contacts.
• Full address + door number (unit) require the detail page. Keep scrapeDetails=true (the default). That is one extra HTTP fetch per listing (curl_cffi Chrome impersonation, not a real browser). Large enriched runs take longer and use more IE residential proxy egress than SRP-only runs.
• SRP-only items still emit the lead key block: phones/person/org are often already on the card; listing address is marked leadAbsences.address=本站无.
• Cloudflare blocks non-browser UAs (403 challenge). The worker uses Chrome TLS impersonation + IE residential proxy. Datacenter IPs commonly fail the Security Check. That is a fetch-stability cost, not a per-field reveal cost.

Honest limitations

These match the 2026-08-24 Daft.ie recon report and the cloud smoke Dataset (leadAbsences):

• Per-listing email is gated. Seller objects have no email field. Contact is a Daft form (showContactForm: true). The Actor does not submit that form. Every listing item has emails=[] and leadAbsences.emails=闸门锁.
• Area-level agent emails are not listing emails. Sale SRP topPerformingAgents.agents[].email (e.g. eoin@raycooke.ie) is an area sidebar of ~5 agents. Those addresses are not written onto per-listing items.
• web / socials are 本站无. The seller object has no website or socialMedia fields. Items emit web.website=null, web.socials=[], leadAbsences.web=本站无.
• SRP cards have no listing address. Search cards expose seller office address only. Listing street / door / Eircode come from the LDP. SRP-only rows set leadAbsences.address=本站无.
• Some PRS rent LDPs have no seller phone. Multi-unit PRS listings may omit seller.phone and offer only the contact form. Those items set leadAbsences.phones=闸门锁. Address / person / org can still be present.
• No standalone agent profile page. Daft.ie has no /agent/{id} surface. Seller name, phone, branch, and PSRA licence are embedded in each listing __NEXT_DATA__. ?agentIds= is a search filter, not a profile.
• Help / Contact is external Zendesk (support.daft.ie) — not a Daft lead surface.
• No click-reveal path to invent missing fields. There is no "show phone" control to click. Missing emails / web / some PRS phones stay absent with an explicit leadAbsences reason.

Do not infer contacts that Daft.ie does not publish: where a lead is absent, the item says so in leadAbsences rather than fabricating a value.

How much does it cost to scrape Daft.ie?

This Actor uses Pay per event pricing:

Event	Price
Actor start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005 per start
Result (apify-default-dataset-item)	$2.50 / 1,000 listings ($0.0025 each)

Platform usage costs are paid by the user (compute, proxy, storage). Keep maxItems low while testing. For production, schedule recurring runs and export only the fields you need.

Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer)

Limit	Free Apify plan	Paid Apify plan
Runs of this Actor	10 runs total	Unlimited
Results per run	Up to 1,000	Up to schema max (2,000)

When the run cap is hit, the run finishes with a clear status message — not an Apify platform error. These limits are set by the Actor developer, not Apify.

Worker host migrations: update Actor env WORKER_BASE_URL (and WORKER_AUTH if the API key changed) — no Actor code change required.

Example: 1 start + 1,000 enriched listings ≈ $0.005 + $2.50 in event charges, plus platform usage.

Tips for better Daft scraping results

• Start with maxPages: 1 and maxItems: 5–25 to validate filters.
• Use residential IE proxies on Apify Cloud; datacenter IPs often hit Daft Security Check.
• Keep maxConcurrency modest (2–3) to reduce detail-page rate limits.
• Prefer Most Recent (sort: "publishDateDesc") when monitoring fresh inventory.
• Split large areas into smaller location paths if you need broader coverage.

FAQ

Is there an official Daft.ie API?

Daft.ie does not offer a simple public listings API for arbitrary third-party extraction. This Actor provides a Daft scraper / API-style Dataset export for public listing pages via __NEXT_DATA__ hydration.

Can I scrape both sale and rent?

Yes. Run once with channel=BUY and once with channel=RENT, or supply separate search URLs in startUrls.

Does it scrape property detail pages?

Yes, when scrapeDetails is enabled. Detail enrichment parses Daft __NEXT_DATA__.props.pageProps for full listing fields, including PRS sub-units where present.

Why did my free-plan run stop after 10 runs?

This Actor allows 10 runs and up to 1,000 listings per run for free Apify plan users. That policy is set by the Actor developer (not Apify). Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs. The run ends with status message FREE_TIER_LIMIT — it is not a platform crash.

What format can I export?

Apify Dataset downloads support JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, and RSS. You can also pull results through the Apify API, Integrations, or webhooks.

Is it legal to scrape Daft.ie?

Only scrape publicly available listing data and only if you have a legitimate reason. Personal data may appear in public listings and can be protected by GDPR and similar laws. Review Daft terms and your own compliance obligations before large-scale collection. This tool is intended for ethical use of public information.

How do I run this Daft Scraper via API?

Use the Apify API, CLI (apify call), or Schedules. Pass the same JSON input shown above. See the API tab on this Actor page for ready-made code snippets.

Live View / standby endpoints

When the Actor runs in standby / Live View mode, these operational endpoints are available:

Method	Path	Description
GET	/	Service info
GET	/health	Health check
GET	/input-example	Low-cost sample input
GET	/openapi.json	Deployed OpenAPI document

Normal scraping still runs as a standard Actor run (not through these endpoints).

Support

Open the Issues tab on this Actor page with sample input, run ID, and expected vs actual results. Feature requests for extra filters or fields are welcome.
