❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which markets are covered? A: UAE (ae), Saudi Arabia (sa), Qatar (qa), Egypt (eg) and Bahrain (bh) — switch with the country field.

Q: Do I need a Property Finder API key? A: No. There's no setup and no Property Finder account or API key required.

Q: What's the difference between Overview and Detail? A: Overview is a fast, low-cost scan that pulls bulk listings from search pages. Detail adds broker license / BRN, RERA / Trakheesi permit, the complete amenity list, full photo gallery, rental availability date and description — and includes everything Overview returns.

Q: Can I use my own Property Finder search filters? A: Yes — paste your search URL in searchUrls and the on-page filters (category, price, beds, etc.) are honored. Or set filters directly (bedrooms, minPrice, maxPrice, minArea, maxArea, furnished, locations).

Q: Does it include RERA / broker compliance data? A: Yes — Detail rows carry the RERA / Trakheesi permit number, broker license / BRN and verification flags.

Q: Does it work for both sale and rent? A: Yes — set category to 1 (Buy) or 2 (Rent), plus 3/4 for commercial and 5 for new projects.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV, Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check the country / category combination, or paste a working Property Finder search URL in searchUrls instead.
• Loosen filters — an overly tight price/area/bedroom combination can return zero listings.

Detail mode returns nothing

• Make sure listingUrls contain valid Property Finder listing URLs for the chosen market, or run overview first to discover them.

Fewer results than expected

• The FREE tier caps listings per run. Upgrade to PAID for unlimited, or raise maxResults.

Missing broker license / RERA fields

• These richer fields come from Detail mode — switch scrapeMode to detail.
