## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### Property Finder Scraper - UAE properties to buy or rent from propertyfinder.ae

The Property Finder Scraper extracts public propertyfinder.ae listings in the United Arab Emirates:
title, property type, price with currency and period, size, bedrooms, bathrooms, furnishing, completion
status, amenities, location with coordinates, listing date, verified / featured flags, permit number,
photos, the listing agent (name, languages, phone, WhatsApp), the broker (name, address, email) and the
full description. Details add licences, permit and regulatory details, availability date and zone. No
Property Finder account or login is used.

#### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchType` | select | `rent` | buy, rent, commercial-buy, commercial-rent |
| `locationIds` | list | `50` (prefill, Dubai Marina) | Property Finder location ids (the `l=` number in its search URLs); empty = whole UAE |
| `keywords` | text | empty | Property Finder's keyword filter |
| `bedrooms` | list | empty | studio, 1, 2, 3 ... |
| `priceMin`, `priceMax` | integer | 0 (off) | Price filter in AED |
| `startUrls` | list | empty | Search URLs copied from propertyfinder.ae, or listing URLs (`/en/plp/...html`) |
| `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Total listings to return |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | `false` | Open each listing page for licences and regulatory details |
| `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Apify RESIDENTIAL | Proxy used for Property Finder |

#### Output (one row per listing)

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `id`, `listingId`, `reference`, `url`, `title` | Ids, agency reference, link, title |
| `propertyType`, `offeringType`, `price`, `currency`, `pricePeriod` | e.g. Apartment, Residential for Rent, 105000, AED, yearly |
| `size`, `sizeUnit`, `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `furnished`, `completionStatus`, `amenities` | Property facts |
| `locationId`, `locationName`, `locationPath`, `latitude`, `longitude` | Building / community and map position |
| `listedDate`, `isVerified`, `isFeatured`, `isPremium`, `isExclusive`, `permitNumber` | Listing status |
| `imageCount`, `images`, `videoUrl` | Media |
| `agentName`, `agentId`, `agentIsSuperAgent`, `agentLanguages`, `agentPhone`, `agentWhatsapp` | Listing agent as shown on the listing |
| `brokerName`, `brokerId`, `brokerAddress`, `brokerEmail` | Agency |
| `description` | Full listing text |
| details: `licenses`, `propertyDetails`, `regulatoryDetails`, `availableFrom`, `zoneName` | Only with `includeDetails` or listing URLs |
| `searchTotal`, `page`, `source`, `scrapedAt` | Result count, page, input that produced the row, time |

#### Measured limits (2026-10-03, local runs)

- 25 listings per page; 50 listings in 3 s, 60 in 5 s; with details about 1.5 s more per listing.
- Locations are Property Finder location ids or copied search URLs - a free-text place name cannot be
  looked up (the site's location service could not be filtered by name in our tests). Each row reports its
  own `locationId`, and Dubai Marina is `50`.
- Permit numbers appear on sale listings that publish them (11 of 60 in our test); rentals often have none.
- Tested without proxy from one residential IP; no bot challenge was met. A challenge is never solved: the
  Actor retries on a new IP, then skips the target with an error in the log.

#### Example

```json
{"searchType": "buy", "locationIds": ["50"], "bedrooms": ["1", "2"], "priceMax": 2500000, "maxItems": 200}
```

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "locationIds": [
    "50"
  ],
  "keywords": "",
  "bedrooms": [],
  "startUrls": [],
  "proxyConfiguration": {

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,neuro-scraper/property-finder-listings-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
