Usage Examples

Basic Sale Listings

Collect apartments for sale in Dubai with default settings:

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/dubai/apartments-for-sale.html",
  "results_wanted": 20,
  "max_pages": 5
}

Rental Properties with Proxy

Scrape rental listings across multiple pages using residential proxies:

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/rent/dubai/apartments-for-rent.html",
  "results_wanted": 100,
  "max_pages": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Property Type and Location

Search for villas for sale in Abu Dhabi with a higher result limit:

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/abu-dhabi/villas-for-sale.html",
  "results_wanted": 200,
  "max_pages": 10
}

Large Result Collections

For large runs, use specific property-type search URLs instead of broad aggregate URLs such as properties-for-sale.html or properties-for-rent.html.

Recommended URLs:

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/dubai/apartments-for-sale.html",
  "results_wanted": 5000,
  "max_pages": 500
}

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/dubai/villas-for-sale.html",
  "results_wanted": 5000,
  "max_pages": 500
}

Avoid broad URLs for large runs:

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/dubai/properties-for-sale.html",
  "results_wanted": 5000,
  "max_pages": 500
}

PropertyFinder can limit broad aggregate search pages after the first result window. Property-type URLs provide more reliable pagination for high-volume collections.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a small results_wanted value to verify the output matches your expected fields and filters.
• For large result counts, use property-type URLs such as apartments-for-sale.html, villas-for-sale.html, townhouses-for-sale.html, or their rental equivalents.
• Avoid broad aggregate URLs such as properties-for-sale.html and properties-for-rent.html for high-volume runs because they can stop returning listings after the first result window.
• Apply filters on PropertyFinder.ae before copying the URL. The scraper preserves query parameters from the original search page.
• Use residential proxies when collecting large datasets to maintain consistent access.
• The scraper handles both sale and rental URLs. Use propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/ for sale listings and propertyfinder.ae/en/rent/ for rental listings.
• If some fields appear empty, check whether the source listing published that information. Optional metadata like floor plans or video tours depends on the broker.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Actor collect from each listing?

Each record includes the property title, price, currency, location with coordinates, bedroom and bathroom count, area size, furnishing status, property type, listing level, agent and broker details, RERA permit number, amenities, image URLs, publish date, and direct listing URL.

Can I scrape both sale and rental listings?

The Actor supports all locations available on PropertyFinder.ae including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain.

How do I handle duplicate listings?
