🏠 PropertyFinder Scraper — UAE Real Estate Listings

Extract structured real-estate data from PropertyFinder at scale — prices, sizes, agents, brokers, geolocation, amenities, images, descriptions and dozens of other fields — straight from any search or listing-collection URL.

Works across PropertyFinder country domains (.ae, .qa, .bh, .eg, .sa) for both sale and rent listings.

⭐ Why choose this Actor?

• ⚡ Fast & lightweight — concurrent page workers with in-run de-duplication; no heavy browser overhead.
• 🛡️ Smart proxy fallback — runs direct by default and automatically escalates to datacenter, then residential proxies only if PropertyFinder starts blocking — then sticks with the working tier.
• 🆕 Monitoring mode — only scrape properties newly listed since your previous run.
• 📉 Delisting detection — track first-seen / last-seen dates to know which listings disappeared.
• 💾 Live results — every property is saved the moment it's collected, so a crash never loses progress.
• 📊 Sectioned output — results are organised into Overview, Location, Pricing, Agent & Broker, Media and Status tabs.

🔑 Key features

• Bulk input of search/listing URLs.
• 1–5 parallel threads (you choose the speed).
• Optional unit-number enrichment via an external endpoint.
• Pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you scrape.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. The Actor runs direct by default and only turns on proxies if PropertyFinder blocks it.

Will it scrape every page? Yes — by default it follows pagination to the last page. Cap it with maxPagesPerUrl.

Does monitoring mode remember across runs? Yes, via a named key-value store. Scrape the same URLs each run for meaningful results.
