Bayut Scraper

What does Bayut Scraper do?

Bayut Scraper collects property listings from Bayut, the most visited real estate portal in the UAE, covering Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and the rest of the Emirates. Open a search on the site with the filters you want (city, area, price, bedrooms, for sale or to rent), copy the URL, paste it into Start URLs, and run the Actor. You get a clean, structured dataset of every matching property — price, size, location, agency, agent contact, RERA permit number and more — ready for market research, price benchmarking, lead lists, or investment analysis.

Why use Bayut Scraper?

• Widest UAE coverage — for-sale and to-rent listings across every emirate, community and property type.
• Deep per-listing detail — price, area, bedrooms, bathrooms, completion status, furnishing, amenities, coordinates and the full description.
• Agency and agent data — agency name, agent name and the public contact phone number for lead generation.
• Compliance field — the RERA / DLD permit number shown on the listing.
• Simple input — paste a search URL, set how many results you want, run.
• Automation-ready — schedule recurring runs to track new listings and price changes over time.

What makes this different

This Actor is built specifically for Bayut's UAE marketplace and reads the structured data behind each listing, so location hierarchy, permit numbers, geo-coordinates and the complete amenity list come through cleanly rather than as scraped text. It routes through UAE residential connections so results match what a local visitor sees.

How to use Bayut Scraper

2. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
3. Open this Actor, paste the URL into Start URLs (you can add several).
4. Set Max properties per start URL — start small (3–5) to test, then raise it.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Dataset tab, or connect it via API.

Usage Examples

• Dubai apartments for sale: https://www.bayut.com/for-sale/apartments/dubai/
• Villas to rent in Abu Dhabi: https://www.bayut.com/to-rent/villas/abu-dhabi/
• A single community: apply the area filter on bayut.com and paste the resulting URL.
• A single property: paste any .../property/details-*.html URL.

Tips for Best Results

• Apply as many filters as possible on the site before copying the URL.
• Add multiple search URLs in one run — maxItems applies to each URL separately.
• For ongoing monitoring, sort the search by "newest" and schedule the Actor daily.

Known Limitations

• Listings marked "Price on request" return a null price.
• For many off-plan listings Bayut shows the Trakheesi permit only as a QR image, so permitNumber is null for those; it is captured for ready/secondary listings that print it as text.
• developer, ownership, furnishingStatus and handoverDate appear only where Bayut publishes them and mostly on detail pages (keep scrapeDetails on).
• Contact details are limited to what the portal shows publicly, usually a phone number.
• Very large searches are limited by the site's own pagination depth.

Integrations

Connect results to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack or your own systems via the Apify API and webhooks. Schedule recurring runs from the Actor's Schedule tab.

Export Formats

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS via the Dataset tab or the Apify API.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many results can I get per run? As many as you set in maxItems, up to the site's pagination limit for that search. maxItems is per start URL.

Can I scrape a specific area or price range? Yes — apply those filters on bayut.com and use the resulting URL as a start URL.

Are duplicates removed? Yes. Each property URL is only collected once per run.

Why are some fields null? The listing didn't publish that field. Missing values are always null, never guessed.

Does caching affect freshness? With useCache on, a property already collected in a previous run is reused instead of re-fetched. Leave it off (the default) when you need current prices.

Can I schedule it? Yes, from the Actor's Schedule tab, or via the API.

Support

Found a bug or a missing field? Open an issue from the Issues tab on the Actor's page and include the run ID and the input you used.
