Daft.ie Scraper — Ireland Real Estate Data, Prices & Estate-Agent Leads (No API)

Scrape property listings from Daft.ie, Ireland's #1 real estate portal with tens of thousands of live homes for sale and to rent across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and every county — houses, apartments, new homes, sites and commercial. Get price, beds, baths, floor area, BER energy rating, GPS coordinates, full address and — crucially — the estate agent name, agency/branch, phone and PSRA licence in clean structured JSON, straight from the site's own Next.js page data. Fast, no browser bloat, no API key, no login.

🏆 Why this Daft.ie scraper?

40+ fields per listing · thousands of listings per run · every row carries the agent name + phone · Cloudflare-resilient residential proxy · export to JSON / CSV / Excel. It is two tools in one — an unofficial Daft.ie API alternative for Irish real-estate market research and a ready estate-agent lead engine.

• 🏠 Buy & rent, every property type — houses, apartments, duplexes, sites, new homes and commercial, For Sale or To Let, all read from the search URL.
• 🇮🇪 Nationwide targeting — scrape all of Ireland, any county, city or area (Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford…) simply by pasting a Daft.ie search URL.
• 💰 Full pricing — numeric price, raw price string, price period (sale / monthly / weekly), price per m² and estimated stamp duty.
• 🛏️ Property detail — bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, property size, floor area value + unit and the BER energy rating.
• 📍 Address & GPS — full address, county/area, latitude & longitude for every listing, plus publish date and featured level.
• 🎯 Estate-agent lead data — agent name, agency/branch, phone + alternative phone, office address, PSRA licence number, seller type and agency logo — one run becomes a targeted Irish agent outreach list.
• 🖼️ Media — total image count, primary photo URL, plus hasVideo / hasVirtualTour flags.
• ⚡ Direct HTTP + JSON extraction — parses Daft.ie's structured Next.js page data; no DOM walking, no headless browser overhead, no GraphQL token.

🚀 Quick start (3 steps)

1. Configure — set your filters on Daft.ie (county, area, price, beds, buy/rent), then copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into searchUrls.
2. Run — click Start. The Actor paginates the entire result set of every search URL and streams listings into your dataset.
3. Get your data — open the Output tab and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull it via the Apify API.

📥 Input

Give the Actor at least one searchUrls value copied from Daft.ie. Every filter encoded in the URL — area, beds, price, buy/rent, property type — is respected. Everything else is optional.

Example — houses for sale in Dublin

{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.daft.ie/property-for-sale/dublin"],
  "maxResults": 500,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "IE" }
}

Example — multiple counties, buy + rent in one run

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.daft.ie/property-for-sale/cork",
    "https://www.daft.ie/property-for-rent/dublin-city",
    "https://www.daft.ie/property-for-sale/galway-county"
  ],
  "maxResults": 2000,
  "maxResultsPerSearch": 800
}

Example — estate-agent lead list across Dublin rentals

{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.daft.ie/property-for-rent/dublin-city"],
  "maxResults": 1000,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}

Field	Type	Description
searchUrls	array	Daft.ie search/result URLs copied from the site (e.g. property-for-sale/dublin, property-for-rent/cork-city). All filters are read from the URL. Required.
maxResults	integer	Total cap across all search URLs. 0 = no limit (a single county search can span thousands of listings).
maxResultsPerSearch	integer	Per-search cap. 0 = no per-search cap.
useProxy	boolean	Route requests through Apify Proxy. Residential (default) strongly recommended — Daft.ie is Cloudflare-fronted.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings. Residential + country=IE gives the highest success rate.
maxConcurrency	integer	How many search URLs to process in parallel (1–10).

Finding a search URL: browse daft.ie, apply your county/area, price, beds and buy-or-rent filters, then copy the full URL from the address bar. Use a property-for-sale/… URL for buy and a property-for-rent/… URL for rent.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape Daft.ie? The Actor only collects publicly available property listing data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with Daft.ie's terms and applicable laws such as GDPR — including how you use agent contact details.

Does Daft.ie have a public API? Daft.ie does not offer an open public listings API, so this Actor reads the site's own structured Next.js page data instead — giving you full Irish real estate data without any API key.

Do I need an API key or a login? No. There is no Daft.ie account, login or API key required — only an Apify account. The Actor reads public listing data rendered into the page.

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 with no API key.

Can I scrape Daft.ie without an API or login? Yes. No Daft.ie account, token or API key is needed — only an Apify account. The Actor pulls publicly available property listings over direct HTTP and paginates the whole result set.

How do I export Daft.ie data to CSV or JSON? Run any Daft.ie search URL, then export the resulting dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML from the Apify console or via the Apify API. Each listing is one clean row.

Daft.ie is behind Cloudflare — does this still work? Yes. The Actor routes through Apify residential (Ireland) proxy and rotates a fresh session with hard retries on every request, so it reliably gets the real listing page.

How much data can I get? You can scrape thousands of listings per run. A single county search can span thousands of homes; combine multiple searchUrls (counties, buy + rent) in one run for even more coverage.

Will every listing have the agent's phone? Whenever Daft.ie exposes the agent/agency publicly on the listing, yes — agent name, agency/branch, phone, alternative phone, office address and PSRA licence number come through. Private-seller listings expose less.

How do I get the BER energy rating? Every scraped listing includes the berRating field alongside beds, baths, floor area and price per square metre, so you can filter or compare homes by energy efficiency.
