## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### What does Espace Real Estate Scraper do?

Espace Real Estate Scraper collects property listings from Espace Real Estate (espace.ae), an established Dubai brokerage focused on the city's prime residential communities. Open a search on the site with the filters you want, copy the URL, paste it into **Start URLs**, and run the Actor. You get back a clean, structured dataset of every matching property — price, size, bedrooms, bathrooms, community, the RERA permit number, the listing agent's name and phone, images and the full description — ready for market research, price benchmarking, or lead lists.

### Why use Espace Real Estate Scraper?

- **Dubai sale and rent coverage** — villas, apartments, townhouses and commercial units.
- **Complete per-listing data** — price, built-up area, bedrooms, bathrooms, community, permit number and the full description.
- **Named agent contact** — the assigned agent's name and direct phone number.
- **Compliance field** — the RERA / DLD permit number for each 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.

### What makes this different

This Actor reads the structured data behind each Espace listing, so the permit number, geo-tagged community, area, room counts and the direct agent phone number come through cleanly in one record. It works without a proxy, keeping runs fast and cheap.

### How to use Espace Real Estate Scraper

![How Espace Scraper works](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/espace-scraper--how-it-works.png)

1. Open [espace.ae](https://www.espace.ae) and build a search with the filters you want.
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.

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `startUrls` | Array | Yes | A Dubai "for sale" search | Espace browse/search pages or direct property page URLs. |
| `maxItems` | Integer | No | 5 | Maximum listings to collect per start URL. |
| `useCache` | Boolean | No | false | Reuse data collected for a property in an earlier run. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify Proxy off | Optional proxy settings. Enable only if results look blocked or incomplete. |

### Output Data

Each dataset item is one property. Example:

```json
{
  "id": "ES-10364",
  "reference": "ES-10364",
  "url": "https://www.espace.ae/properties-single/6-bedroom-villa-for-sale--b-villas-living-legends-dubai-es-10364",
  "purpose": "sale",
  "title": "6 Bedroom Villa For Sale in B Villas, Living Legends",
  "propertyType": "Villa",
  "price": 7500000,
  "priceCurrency": "AED",
  "bedrooms": 6,
  "bathrooms": 7,
  "area": 4446,
  "areaUnit": "sqft",
  "location": "B Villas, Living Legends",
  "city": "Dubai",
  "community": "B Villas",
  "permitNumber": "65139103824",
  "datePosted": "2026-08-31 14:34:56",
  "agencyName": "Espace Real Estate",
  "agentName": "Dhia Tabbal",
  "agentPhone": "+971543456048",
  "imageUrls": ["https://d2fvuj1ffdxm4a.cloudfront.net/property_image/....webp"],
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-31T13:31:00.000Z"
}
```

### Usage Examples

- **All Dubai properties for sale:** `https://www.espace.ae/properties-for-sale`
- **Properties for rent:** `https://www.espace.ae/properties-for-rent`
- **Commercial units:** `https://www.espace.ae/commercial-properties-for-sale`
- **A single property:** paste any `.../properties-single/...-es-...` URL.

### Tips for Best Results

- Apply filters on espace.ae before copying the URL for a tighter, more relevant dataset.
- Add multiple search URLs in one run — `maxItems` applies to each URL separately.
- The Actor scrolls to load more results, so large exports take a little longer per extra page.

### Known Limitations

- `bathrooms` is read from the listing page text and can be null when the page doesn't state it separately.
- `community` is derived from the listing title and address and may be approximate for unusual titles.
- Very large searches are limited by how far the site's results scroll.

### 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 how far the results scroll. `maxItems` is per start URL.

**Can I scrape a specific community or price range?** Yes — apply those filters on espace.ae and use the resulting 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) for 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.

### Legal / Responsible Use

You are responsible for ensuring your use of this Actor complies with Espace Real Estate's terms of service and all applicable laws. Listings include personal data such as agent names and phone numbers; if you collect personal data you are responsible for complying with applicable privacy and data-protection laws (for example GDPR) and for using that data lawfully.

![Espace Scraper input options](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/espace-scraper--input.png)

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more Espace Real Estate pages to scrape. Use a search or browse page (for example https://www.espace.ae/properties-for-sale or https://www.espace.ae/properties-for-rent), or a direct property page URL. The Actor loads more results by scrolling automatically.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of property listings to collect for each start URL. Keep this low for quick test runs and raise it for full exports.

## `useCache` (type: `boolean`):

Reuse data collected for a property in an earlier run to speed up recurring runs. Disabled by default so every run returns fresh data.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy settings. Espace works reliably without a proxy, so Apify Proxy is off by default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.espace.ae/properties-for-sale"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "useCache": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
