Daft.ie Scraper — Ireland Property & Agent Leads

---

🚀 Why scrape Daft.ie?

Daft.ie is Ireland's #1 property portal — tens of thousands of live homes for sale and to rent across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and every county. This Daft.ie scraper reads the site's own structured Next.js page data, so you get every field with no login and no API key, and it paginates through the entire result set of any search.

It's two tools in one:

🏠 an Irish property dataset — for market analytics, price & rent tracking, comps, dashboards & ML — and 🎯 a real-estate agent lead engine — every listing carries the agent name, agency/branch and phone, so one run becomes a targeted Irish agent outreach list.

---

✨ What you get

🏠 Property Title & full address, price + period (sale / monthly / weekly), property type, sale type (buy / to let), beds, baths, floor area + size, BER energy rating, stamp-duty & price-per-m².

📍 Location & geo County / area, latitude & longitude, Daft listing URL, shortcode, publish date, image count & primary photo, video / virtual-tour flags.

🎯 Agent & leads Estate agent name, agency / branch, phone + alternative phone, office address, PSRA licence number and agency logo.

❓ FAQ

Is this a Daft.ie API alternative?

Yes. Daft.ie has no open public listings API, so this actor works as an unofficial Daft.ie API alternative — it reads the site's structured Next.js page data and returns full property data without an API key.

How do I export Daft.ie property data to CSV or JSON?

Run any Daft.ie search URL, then download the results from the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel. Each listing is one clean row, so a single run gives you a ready Irish property data export.

Can I scrape Daft.ie without an API or login?

Yes. There is no Daft.ie account, token or API key required — the actor reads public listing data rendered into the page and paginates the whole result set.

Does it return Daft.ie estate agent contacts?

When Daft.ie shows the agent publicly, every row carries the estate agent name, agency/branch, phone, alternative phone, office address and PSRA licence number — a ready Irish estate-agent contact list.
