from $3.00 / 1,000 records

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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 UAE Scraper

***

Dubai, Abu Dhabi and UAE Property Listings. Property Finder (propertyfinder.ae) is the UAE's largest property portal (about 190,000 residential listings for sale, 165,000 for rent and tens of thousands of commercial listings at the time of writing). Give the actor any search results page - `https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/properties-for-sale.html`, `/en/rent/properties-for-rent.html`, `/en/commercial-buy/...`, `/en/commercial-rent/...`, a city / area / type page such as `/en/rent/dubai/apartments-for-rent-dubai-marina.html`, a filtered `/en/search?...` URL, or the Arabic `/ar/` version of any of them - and get structured records: listing ID, headline, sale or rent, residential or commercial, property type, price in AED with the rent frequency, price per sqft, bedrooms, bathrooms, size in sqft and sqm, plot size, the full location path split into tower, sub-community, community and city, coordinates, completion status, furnishing, amenities, the agency reference, the permit number, the full description, agent and broker with the broker phone and address, verified / premium / exclusive badges, photos and the listed date. Turn on `detailedInfo` to also visit each property page for the full-size photo gallery, the DLD permit validation link, the licensed agency on the permit, broker and agent licence numbers, the DLD zone name, the rental availability date and the agent's position, experience and profile link.

About 25 listings per page (new-project promotions mixed into the results are skipped); the actor pages through the search with `?page=N` until `maxItems` listings are collected or the search runs out.

***

#### **📋 Example Output**

Record from a run with `detailedInfo: true` on `https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/properties-for-sale.html`. Without `detailedInfo` the property-page fields (`availableFrom`, `permitValidationUrl`, `regulatoryAuthority`, `brokerLicense`, `agentLicense`, `zoneName`, `agentPosition`, `agentExperienceYears`, `agentUrl`) are `null` and `imageUrls` holds the 3-4 card photos at 668x452:

`price` is the sale price, or the rent per `rentFrequency` (`yearly`, `monthly`, `weekly` or `daily`). `bedrooms` is `0` for studios (`bedroomsText` keeps `studio`). Dubai listings increasingly carry a DLD QR permit (`permitValidationUrl`) instead of a printed number; Abu Dhabi and older Dubai listings carry `permitNumber`. In Arabic (`/ar/`) searches, titles, descriptions, locations and types come in Arabic.

#### ⚙️ **Configuration**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `url` | String | *(required)* | Any propertyfinder.ae search results page, `/en/` or `/ar/`: buy, rent, commercial buy or commercial rent, narrowed by city, area and type (`/en/rent/dubai/apartments-for-rent-dubai-marina.html`), or a filtered `/en/search?...` URL. Filters in the URL (price, bedrooms, furnishing, sort) are kept. |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `100` | Maximum listings to scrape, about 25 per page. `0` = no limit (the whole search). |
| `detailedInfo` | Boolean | `false` | Visit each property page for the full-size gallery, DLD permit validation link, permit agency, broker and agent licence numbers, zone name, rental availability date and agent profile. One extra request per listing. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify Proxy (auto) | Defaults to Apify Proxy (auto). Switch to RESIDENTIAL only if results are empty. |

##### Example Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/rent/dubai/apartments-for-rent-dubai-marina.html",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "detailedInfo": true
}
```

##### Getting your start URL

1. Open propertyfinder.ae and choose Buy, Rent or Commercial
2. Pick a location and property type and apply any filters (price, bedrooms, furnishing, sort order)
3. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar and paste it as the `url` input

#### 💬 **Support and Feedback**

Reach out via Apify support channels or leave feedback on the Actor's page.

#### **Is it legal to scrape propertyfinder.ae data?**

It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as listing titles, prices, locations, sizes and descriptions. Results contain personal data (agent names and broker contact details published on the listings); scrape personal data only with a legitimate reason and in line with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, the GDPR and other regulations - consult your legal advisor if unsure.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "url": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/properties-for-sale.html",
    "maxItems": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ocrad/propertyfinder-property-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## MCP server setup

```json

    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ocrad/propertyfinder-property-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).
