Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### PropertyFinder.ae Property Scraper Scrapes property listings from PropertyFinder.ae in bulk — apartments, villas, townhouses, and land for sale or rent across UAE — and returns structured JSON with price, location, agent contact details, amenities, RERA permits, and 30+ data fields. - Extracts 25+ properties per page with automatic pagination - Full agent and broker contact details (name, email, phone) - Covers all UAE cities — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and more - Both sale and rental listings supported - RERA permit numbers included for regulatory verification - GPS coordinates for every listing - Outputs clean, normalized JSON ready for analysis or CRM import #### What data does it extract?

The Actor extracts all property data directly from search results. - **Automatic pagination:** The Actor automatically follows pagination — just provide the first page URL - **Residential proxies:** Recommended for best success rates. The Actor supports Apify's built-in proxy configuration. - **Rate limits:** PropertyFinder.ae may apply rate limiting for large-scale scraping. For runs over 1,000 listings, consider increasing memory allocation. - **Data freshness:** All data is scraped live — no cached or stale data - **25 listings per page:** PropertyFinder.ae returns 25 listings per search page. The Actor handles pagination automatically. #### Integrations Outputs are compatible with: - **Make (formerly Integromat):** Use the Apify module to trigger runs and send data to Google Sheets or Airtable - **Zapier:** Connect Actor runs to 5,000+ apps via the Apify Zapier app - **REST API:** Run the Actor programmatically and poll results via the Apify API - **Python & Node.js:** Use Apify's SDK to integrate into your data pipeline #### Support Have questions or found a bug?
