## Pricing

from $0.50 / 1,000 listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

Get **property listings from propertyfinder.ae**, the largest property portal of the United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah…), from any search: **title, price in AED, sale or rent period, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, full location, community, coordinates, brokerage name and office phone, broker reference, furnished, completed or off-plan, verified, featured, premium, direct from developer, amenities, listed date, main image**.

Plain HTTP requests, no browser: **no login, no account, no cookies**. The Actor reads only the public search pages, one page at a time per search with a pause between pages, and respects propertyfinder.ae's robots.txt.

### Typical uses

- **Investors and analysts**: asking prices and price per sqft by community in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, every week (schedule a run).
- **Brokerages**: competitors' stock, new listings in your communities, off-plan vs ready supply.
- **Rental yields**: compare yearly rents with sale prices of the same community.
- **Lead lists of brokerages**: active agencies by area, with office phone.
- **Spreadsheets, BI and AI agents**: clean rows for Google Sheets, n8n, Make, Zapier or an MCP client.

### What you get

One row per listing:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `search`, `searchUrl` | Your search and the page read |
| `listingId`, `url`, `title` | Listing ID, link and title |
| `propertyType` | Apartment, Villa, Townhouse, Penthouse… |
| `price`, `currency`, `pricePeriod` | Price in AED (`null` when hidden), `sell` or the rent period |
| `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `size`, `sizeUnit` | As given (studio, 1, 2…), size in sqft |
| `location`, `community`, `city`, `latitude`, `longitude` | Tower, community, emirate, coordinates |
| `brokerName`, `brokerPhone`, `reference` | Brokerage (a company) and its office phone, broker's reference |
| `furnished`, `completionStatus` | `YES` / `NO` / `PARTLY`; `completed` or `off_plan` |
| `verified`, `featured`, `premium`, `directFromDeveloper` | Flags shown on the card |
| `amenities`, `listedAt`, `imageUrl`, `imageCount` | Amenity codes, listed date (UTC), main image, number of images |
| `page`, `position`, `totalResults` | Where the listing was, and how many results Property Finder reports |
| `observedAt` | When the page was read (UTC) |

Missing values are always `null`, never guessed. New-project cards mixed into the results are not listings and are skipped. The individual agent's name is never kept, only the brokerage. A search without listings (or blocked, or unreadable) gets one free row with `found: false`, a `status` and a `message`.

### Input

```json
{
  "searches": ["https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/dubai/apartments-for-sale.html", "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/rent/abu-dhabi/villas-for-rent.html"],
  "maxResultsPerSearch": 100
}
```

- **searches**: one propertyfinder.ae search URL per line, up to 100 per run. Choose buy or rent, location, property type and filters on the site, then copy the address bar.
- **maxResultsPerSearch**: 1 to 500 (default 100). Property Finder shows 25 listings per page; the Actor reads up to 20 pages per search. For more, split a search (communities, price bands).

Listings found by two of your searches are returned and billed once.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **one event per listing returned**, plus a small start fee per run.

| Plan | Per listing | Per 1,000 listings |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0.0008 | $0.80 |
| Bronze | $0.0007 | $0.70 |
| Silver | $0.0006 | $0.60 |
| Gold | $0.0005 | $0.50 |

Free: searches without listings, pages that are blocked or cannot be read, duplicates and input mistakes. On the free Apify plan, a run reads up to 3 searches and 25 listings per search.

### FAQ

**Is it legal?** The Actor reads only pages anyone can see without an account, at a slow pace, and respects robots.txt. Listings are published by brokerages and developers; the Actor keeps no individual agent's name. Property Finder's terms of use restrict automated access: you are responsible for how you use the data. This is not legal advice.

**Why are some searches empty or BLOCKED?** If Property Finder refuses a request (rate limit or bot check), the Actor stops that search and charges nothing beyond the results already delivered. If this happens after the first page, the run summary warns that the search stopped early and its results are partial. It never solves or bypasses a check. Try again later or with fewer searches per run.

**Can I get the full description or all photos?** Not in this version: it reads the search pages only. Need a field? Open an issue.

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).
