MENA Property Gateway — Bayut + Dubizzle + DLD Data 🚀

🎉 NEW — Run Bayut + Dubizzle in ONE job, get cross-platform agent matching and Dubai Land Department deed records on every row

Purpose-built for UAE real-estate agencies that today join two separate scrapers in a spreadsheet

---

📋 Overview

Stop running two separate UAE scrapers and joining their CSVs by hand. MENA Property Gateway pulls Bayut + Dubizzle in one Apify job, normalizes every field to one flat row schema, and adds two enrichment layers no other Apify Store actor offers — cross-platform agent matching and Dubai Land Department (DLD) deed enrichment.

Why UAE real-estate agencies choose us:

• ✅ One unified schema — source_platform discriminator on every row, identical column shape across Bayut and Dubizzle, both area_sqm and area_sqft populated automatically (no more m² ↔ ft² conversions)
• ⚡ One run, two portals — platforms: both (default) hits Bayut and Dubizzle in parallel; pick one platform if you only need that side
• 🎯 45+ data fields per row — RERA permit, completion status, bilingual EN+AR titles, geo coordinates, agent + agency objects, photo count, and the full upstream /details payload on demand
• 💰 Sister-actor parity pricing — bulk row priced at $0.005 BRONZE (same as our standalone Bayut and Dubizzle scrapers); bundle premium lives only on the unique events you actually use
• 💎 Cross-platform agent matching is unique on Apify Store — AgentMatched event pairs the same agent's Bayut listings with their Dubizzle inventory in a dedicated agent-match row
• ✨ NEW: Dubai Land Department (DLD) deed enrichment with building floor count, parking spaces, off-plan completion %, RERA permit number, and DLD validation URL — surfaced on every Dubizzle row when enabled

Only need one portal? Use the dedicated Bayut Property Scraper or Dubizzle Property Scraper — same SIÁN data quality, cheaper standalone curve, no bundle premium. The Gateway is the agency tool; the sister actors are the analyst tools.

✨ Features

• 🏛️ Bayut + Dubizzle in one run — platforms: both is the default; the bundle's reason to exist
• 🤝 Cross-platform agent matching — bundle-unique event that joins each agent's Bayut listings to their Dubizzle inventory by agent slug + name, emits a dedicated _type: agent-match row
• 🏛️ Dubai Land Department (DLD) deed enrichment — buildingInfo, floor count, parking spaces, off-plan project metadata, DLD validation URL on every Dubizzle row when enabled
• 📐 Dual area units on every row — Bayut returns m² natively, Dubizzle returns ft²; the bundle ships BOTH columns populated regardless of source platform
• 🌐 Bilingual EN+AR everywhere — listingTitle + listingTitleAr + url + url_ar; Bayut adds listingTitleZh (Chinese) and listingTitleRu (Russian) columns for international buyer dashboards
• 🔍 5 search modes — location (place name, both platforms), locationId (numeric ID, both platforms), coordinates (lat,lng,radius, Dubizzle only), polygon (GeoJSON area, Dubizzle only), byurl (paste a Dubizzle search URL)
• 📊 HTML market report auto-saved to the key-value store — per-platform breakdown, median price, AED/sqm + AED/sqft, breakdowns by purpose / property type / neighbourhood
• 💼 Off-plan + RERA permit metadata — completion status, RERA permit number, and the DLD payload combine into a ready-to-use due-diligence row
• 🔁 Retry-helper rows — any failed query lands as _type: retry-helper at the end of the dataset so you can resume the exact failures without rerunning the entire job
• 🆓 FREE tier included — full feature access on 1 query × 25 rows per platform, no credit card required

🎬 Quick Start

Paste a location, click run, get a unified Bayut + Dubizzle dataset in seconds. The default platforms: both + location mode is the bundle's primary workflow — every other input field is optional.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sian.agency~mena-property-gateway/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"platforms":"both","searchMode":"location","queries":["Dubai Marina"]}'

---

🚀 Getting Started (3 Simple Steps)

Step 1: Pick your platforms

Leave platforms: both (the bundle default) or narrow to bayut / dubizzle if you only need that side.

Step 2: Add a location

Type one or more place names into queries — Dubai Marina, Abu Dhabi, Jumeirah Village Circle. For coordinate or polygon searches use the matching searchMode (Dubizzle only).

Step 3: Toggle enrichments (optional, PAID tier)

Flip enrichDld: true for Dubai Land Department deed data, or matchAgentsAcrossPlatforms: true for the bundle-unique cross-platform agent join.

That's it! In under 60 seconds, you'll have:

• One unified dataset with source_platform: "bayut" | "dubizzle" discriminator on every row
• 45+ columns including bilingual titles, both area units, agent + agency objects, and RERA permit numbers
• An HTML market report at report.html in the key-value store with median price, AED/sqm + AED/sqft, and per-neighbourhood breakdowns

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need both platforms enabled? A: No. platforms: both is the default (and the bundle's reason to exist), but you can narrow to bayut or dubizzle if you only need that side. For single-platform-only workflows, consider the standalone Bayut Property Scraper or Dubizzle Property Scraper — same data, cheaper standalone curve.

Q: How many listings can I extract per run? A: FREE tier — 1 query × 25 listings per platform. PAID tier — unlimited queries, up to 5,000 rows per platform per query.

Q: What if the same property appears on both portals? A: v1.0 returns BOTH rows with their respective source_platform discriminator. Cross-portal deduplication is on the v1.1 roadmap — UAE address normalization is a non-trivial NLP problem we want to ship right, not fast.

Q: How does cross-platform agent matching work? A: When matchAgentsAcrossPlatforms: true, the actor fetches each agent's full inventory on both portals and emits a dedicated _type: agent-match row joining them by agent slug + name + agency. The row carries bayut_listings_count, dubizzle_listings_count, both agent IDs, and the matching method used.

Q: Is Dubai Land Department data really included? A: Yes — set enrichDld: true and every Dubizzle listing comes with its DLD building/deed payload: floor count, parking spaces, off-plan completion %, RERA permit number, and DLD validation URL. This enrichment is unique on the Apify Store.

Q: Why are both area_sqm AND area_sqft always populated? A: Bayut returns square metres natively, Dubizzle returns square feet. The bundle cross-computes the other unit so your downstream code never has to do unit conversion.

Q: Does this work for KSA, Egypt, or other MENA markets? A: Bayut covers Saudi Arabia (KSA), Egypt (partial), and other MENA markets. Dubizzle is UAE-only. DLD enrichment is Dubai-only. For non-UAE Bayut workflows, set platforms: bayut.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Live every run — the actor queries the realtyAPI commercial backbone in real time, not a cached database. Each run is current as of the moment you start it.

Q: Is this legal? A: Yes — we only extract publicly available property listings using a commercial real-estate-data API with proper rate limiting. See the legal section below.

🐞 Troubleshooting

Bayut search fails with HTTP 422 for a location name

• Try a more specific name (e.g. Dubai Marina not just Marina)
• Or switch to searchMode: locationId and provide the numeric externalID from Bayut

coordinates, polygon, or byurl results show only Dubizzle rows

• Bayut's API doesn't expose those endpoints — the bundle skips Bayut with a warning
• Either use searchMode: location / locationId (both platforms) or set platforms: dubizzle

No dld_data populated even though enrichDld: true

• DLD enrichment is Dubizzle-only — make sure platforms includes dubizzle
• DLD coverage is Dubai-only — Abu Dhabi / Sharjah / KSA listings won't have DLD records

Enrichment requested but disabled on FREE tier

• Detail, DLD, and agent-matching enrichments require the PAID tier
• Either upgrade your Apify account or test the unified schema with enrichment flags off

Bayut + Dubizzle returned 0 results for a known location

• Check the query spelling — UAE neighbourhood names are case-insensitive but accent-sensitive
• For non-UAE Bayut markets (KSA, Egypt), set platforms: bayut — Dubizzle is UAE-only

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union, the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.
