• Complete city and neighbourhood breakdown for UAE
• GPS coordinates ready for mapping
• Real listing demand data per area

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many locations does Bayut have in total? A: Bayut has hundreds of locations across UAE cities, neighbourhoods, and sub-areas. Use pagination (increment pageNumber from 0) until a page returns no results — that's when you've got everything.

Q: What does adCount represent? A: It's the number of active property listings in that location at the time of scraping. Higher = more supply. Use it to gauge market activity.

Q: What's the difference between level 1, 2, and 3? A: Level 1 = cities (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), Level 2 = neighbourhoods (Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai), Level 3 = sub-areas within neighbourhoods. The parent field tells you which location it belongs to.

Q: Can I get coordinates for all locations? A: Yes — lat and lng are included for every location in the dataset.

Q: Is it legal to scrape Bayut location data? A: This actor only extracts publicly available location and listing count data — the same data visible to any visitor on Bayut.com. No private user data is extracted.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check that pageNumber is a non-negative integer
• If using locationName, try a broader term (e.g. "Dubai" instead of "Dubai Marina Creek")
• Leave locationName empty to return all locations

Fewer results than expected

• You may have reached the last page — try decrementing pageNumber
• Some location names return 0 results if Bayut has no matching entries

Run times out

• This shouldn't happen — the actor is designed to process quickly
• Check the run logs for specific error messages
