Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## PropertyFinder.ae Real Estate Scraper — Apify Actor Scrapes property listings from **PropertyFinder.ae**, the UAE's leading real estate portal. Covers all 7 emirates plus Al Ain. Extracts price (AED), location, bedrooms, bathrooms, area (sqft), property type, agent info, and full listing URLs. ### What it does - Converts AED prices in any format → numeric (`AED 2.5M` → `2,500,000`) - Slug-based extraction for `listing_id`, `property_type`, `purpose` (from `/en/plp/buy-apartment-...-12345.html`) - Server-side filters: min/max price, min bedrooms, property type - Deduplicates by `listing_id` - Streams results to the dataset as they're found - Saves full HTML responses to the key-value store if 0 listings come back ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `emirate` | enum | `dubai` | One of: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain, Al Ain | | `purpose` | enum | `buy` | `buy` or `rent` | | `max_pages` | integer | `3` | Pages to scrape (~25 listings each) | | `start_page` | integer | `1` | Page number to start from | | `max_listings` | integer | `0` | Hard cap (0 = unlimited) | | `property_type_filter` | string[] | `[]` | Keep only matching types (`["apartment", "villa", "townhouse"]`) | | `min_price_aed` | integer | `0` | Filter out listings below this AED price | | `max_price_aed` | integer | `0` | Filter out listings above this AED price | | `min_bedrooms` | integer | `0` | Filter out listings with fewer beds | | `include_raw` | boolean | `false` | Include the raw PF JSON per record | | `request_delay_seconds` | integer | `2` | Pause between paginated requests | | `proxy_configuration` | proxy | OFF | Standard Apify proxy editor | ### Output (per dataset record) ```json { "listing_id": "12345678", "title": "Spacious 2BR Apartment In Marina Promenade", "price_aed": 2500000, "price_text": "AED 2,500,000", "currency": "AED", "location": "Marina Promenade, Dubai Marina, Dubai", "emirate": "Dubai", "country": "UAE", "bedrooms": 2, "bathrooms": 3, "area_sqft": 1250, "property_type": "Apartment", "purpose": "for-sale", "agent_name": "John Doe", "agency": "Premier Real Estate LLC", "url": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/plp/buy-apartment-...-12345678.html", "image_url": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/property/...jpg", "scraped_at": "2026-05-13T07:30:00+00:00" } ```` # Actor input Schema ## `emirate` (type: `string`): Which UAE emirate to scrape ## `purpose` (type: `string`): Properties for sale or for rent ## `max_pages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of result pages to scrape (~25 listings each) ## `start_page` (type: `integer`): Page number to start scraping from (1-indexed) ## `max_listings` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on total listings (0 = no cap) ## `property_type_filter` (type: `array`): Only keep listings whose type matches one of these (case-insensitive). Leave empty for all. ## `min_price_aed` (type: `integer`): Filter out listings below this price. 0 = no filter. ## `max_price_aed` (type: `integer`): Filter out listings above this price. 0 = no filter. ## `min_bedrooms` (type: `integer`): Filter out listings with fewer bedrooms than this. 0 = no filter. ## `include_raw` (type: `boolean`): Include the raw PropertyFinder object in each record (large) ## `request_delay_seconds` (type: `integer`): How long to pause between paginated requests ## `proxy_configuration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. PropertyFinder accepts most IPs but a UAE residential proxy gives the most reliable data. If you enable Apify Proxy without choosing a group, this actor auto-upgrades you to RESIDENTIAL + country AE. ## Actor input object example ```json { "emirate": "dubai", "purpose": "buy", "max_pages": 3, "start_page": 1, "max_listings": 0, "property_type_filter": [ "apartment", "villa", "townhouse" ], "min_price_aed": 0, "max_price_aed": 0, "min_bedrooms": 0, "include_raw": false, "request_delay_seconds": 2, "proxy_configuration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
