Aqar.fm Monitor — Saudi New Listings & Price Drops (EN/AR)

Get alerts when Aqar.fm lists a new property, or changes a price, on any search in Saudi Arabia. Schedule it daily and each run reports only what changed since the last one. Every row comes with English and Arabic fields, the price per m², and a comparison with other listings in the same district.

How it works

• The first run builds a baseline. It scans your search, saves what it sees, and returns nothing. The log says how many listings it is now tracking.
• Every later run returns only changes: new listings, price drops, and price increases.
• The monitor's memory is kept on your Apify account, in a key-value store named aqar-monitor-state.
• Each search has its own memory. Changing the filters or the start URLs starts a separate monitor. If you set a Monitor name, that monitor keeps its memory even when you change the filters.

Set it up in 2 minutes

1. Choose a search: pick a City and Category, add any filters, or paste Aqar.fm search URLs into Start URLs.
2. Click Save as task.
3. Set the task to run daily with a schedule.
4. Open Integrations and connect email, Slack, Google Sheets or a webhook to receive the new rows.

Use one saved task per search. Two tasks with exactly the same search share the same memory.

What each alert contains

• changeType: new, price_drop or price_increase.
• previousPriceSar and priceChangePct: the price the monitor last saw and the percent change. A negative percent means the price fell. Both are empty for new listings.
• districtMedianPricePerSqm and priceVsDistrictMedianPct: how the price per m² compares with similar listings in the same district, from the listings scanned in this run (at least 5 are needed).
• firstSeenAt, detectedAt and monitorName: when the monitor first saw the listing, when the change was detected, and which monitor reported it.
• The search-page fields from Aqar.fm Scraper: titles and descriptions in English and Arabic, price, area, bedrooms, district, photos, advertiser and links. Detail-only fields such as licences and dates are not included.

Listings to track sets how many listings of the search are scanned and watched each run. The default is 500 and the maximum is 5,000. Changing this number does not reset the monitor.

Pricing

You pay only for what the monitor checks and reports.

Event	Price
Listing checked	$0.30 per 1,000
Change reported	$5 per 1,000

Example: a daily run that checks 500 listings and reports about 20 changes costs about $0.25 a day ($0.15 for the checks and $0.10 for the changes). The first run only charges for listings checked, because it reports no changes.

If you set a spending limit, the Actor tracks no more listings than the limit can pay for. Changes it cannot pay to deliver are held back and reported on the next run.

Privacy

The monitor does not open listing detail pages, so the advertiserPhone field is always empty. Phone numbers that advertisers type into titles or descriptions are replaced with [phone removed]. No login-protected data is collected.

FAQ

Why does the first run return nothing? The first run only saves a baseline of the listings it sees, so there is nothing to compare against yet. From the second run on, you get the changes.

How do I start a monitor over? Change the Monitor name. A new name starts a fresh monitor with no memory, so its first run is a baseline run again. The old memory stays in the aqar-monitor-state store.

Why did an older ad not show up as new? Only ads posted after your monitor's last check are reported as new. Older ads that move into your search's range are added to the monitor's memory silently.

Can a new ad be missed? If more new ads are posted between two runs than your "Listings to track" setting, the extra ones can be missed. For busy searches, raise the limit or run the monitor more often. The run log shows how many older listings entered your search without an alert.

Are listings outside my filters tracked? Listings just outside your filters that the monitor has already seen are remembered, so you get a price-drop alert when one falls into your price range.

What if a run can't read the monitor's memory? The run stops without scanning, charging or changing anything, and the next run catches up.

Feedback

Found a listing or page that doesn't come out right, or need a feature? Open an issue in the Issues tab and I'll take a look. If the Actor saves you time, a short review on its Store page helps other people find it.
