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".

## 🏙 Property Finder UAE Scraper

> 🚀 **Export Property Finder UAE listings in seconds.** Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah villas, apartments and off-plan inventory with price, location, agent and photos.

> 🕒 **Last updated:** 2026-05-25 · **📊 25+ fields** per record · **250,000+ active UAE listings** · **All emirates**

This actor scrapes residential and commercial property listings published on [propertyfinder.ae](https://www.propertyfinder.ae), the UAE's leading property portal. It parses the same Next.js data the site uses for rendering, so every record is fully structured: numeric price and area, geo coordinates, broker license, listed date and agent name.

Coverage spans all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain. Sale, rent, off-plan and ready inventory are all reachable through the searchUrl filter.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Realtors, investors, expats, proptech teams, hedge funds | Price benchmarking, market dashboards, investor lead lists, relocation research, off-plan tracking |

### 📋 What the Property Finder UAE Scraper does
- Walks the paginated search URL you provide
- Extracts every listing on each results page
- Captures price (AED), area (sqft/m²), beds, baths, completion status, geo coordinates
- Returns broker, agent and listing reference for each record

> 💡 **Why it matters:** the UAE market moves daily, and Property Finder is the source of truth for most international agencies. A clean, structured feed unlocks BI use cases the on-site filters can't.
