## Pricing

from $1.05 / 1,000 properties

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 — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt & Bahrain real estate

Scrape **Property Finder**, the leading property portal of the Middle East, in **5 countries from one Actor**: 🇦🇪 UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah…), 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah…), 🇶🇦 Qatar, 🇪🇬 Egypt (New Cairo, North Coast…) and 🇧🇭 Bahrain. Buy, rent and commercial listings with **price, size, price per sqft/sqm, GPS, agent, agency and phone** — plus optional **investor data**: price vs area average and 12-month area price trend.

### What you get per property

- ID, URL, title, property type, offering (residential for sale, for rent, commercial…)
- **Price** + currency + period (yearly/monthly rent), **bedrooms** (studio = 0), bathrooms, **size** + unit, **price per sqft/sqm**
- Location: building, sub-community, community, city, **latitude/longitude**
- Listed date, furnished, ready / off-plan, verified, premium, exclusive, new construction, direct from developer
- Amenities (balcony, private pool, maid's room…), photos, video / 360° flags, reference
- **Agent** (name, SuperAgent, languages), **agency** (name, address), **public phone & WhatsApp**

#### With "Include full property details"

- Full **description**, plot size, payment methods, rental availability date
- **Permit** number and official validation link (e.g. Dubai Land Department / Trakheesi), agency license
- **Price vs area average** in % (negative = cheaper than the area), area average price
- **12-month price trend** of the community and the building (price per sqft/sqm, month by month)

### Use cases

- **Investors**: find under-priced units (price vs area average) and track price trends.
- **Agencies & brokers**: monitor competitor listings and new inventory every day.
- **Lead generation**: agencies and agents by area with public contact numbers.
- **Market research**: supply, rents and prices by community across 5 countries.

```

### How to use

1. Pick the **country** and **purpose** (buy, rent, commercial).
2. Add **locations** (e.g. Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Riyadh, New Cairo) — or leave empty for the whole country.
3. Filters: property type, bedrooms, price, size, furnishing, ready/off-plan, rent frequency, listed within, keywords (e.g. "sea view"), sort.
4. Or paste any **search URL** from Property Finder with your filters already set.
5. Click **Start** — export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or schedule daily runs with *Listed within = 1*.

### Pricing

- **$1.50 per 1,000 properties** from search results.
- **+ $2.00 per 1,000** with full details (optional).

Cheaper on paid Apify plans.

### Good to know

- Property Finder shows **50 pages (~1,250 listings) per search**. Bigger searches are **split by price range automatically** to collect more.
- Only contact data shown publicly on listings is returned (phone/WhatsApp buttons).
- Prices are in the local currency (AED, SAR, QAR, EGP, BHD); sizes in sqft (UAE) or sqm.

**Is it legal?** The Actor collects public listings visible to any visitor without login. Respect GDPR/local data laws when you contact agents.
