PropertyFinder.ae Scraper — Listings, Prices, Agent Contacts & RERA Permits

Extract property listings, prices, agent/broker contacts, RERA permits, and property details from PropertyFinder.ae — UAE's leading real estate portal.

Features

• Scrape search result pages — fast extraction of up to 20 properties per page with automatic pagination
• Scrape individual listing pages — rich data including RERA permit validation URL, broker license, zone name
• Extract agent & broker contacts — name, email, phone, WhatsApp link
• Extract RERA/Trakheesi permit numbers (+ DLD validation URLs in detail mode)
• GPS coordinates, amenities, images, furnishing status, completion status
• Deduplication across pages
• Proxy support for avoiding blocks

How it works

PropertyFinder.ae is built with Next.js. The scraper uses Playwright to load pages (required for AWS WAF bypass on detail pages) and extracts structured data from the embedded __NEXT_DATA__ JSON — no fragile DOM selectors needed.

Two scraping modes:

Mode	Speed	Data richness	How
Search only (scrapeDetails: false)	~20 properties/sec	Good — all core fields	Extracts from search JSON
Search + Details (scrapeDetails: true)	~3 properties/sec	Full — RERA validation URL, broker license, zone name	Visits each listing page

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	required	PropertyFinder.ae URLs — search pages (/en/search?...) or listing pages (/en/plp/...)
maxItems	integer	50	Maximum properties to scrape. Set to 0 for unlimited.
scrapeDetails	boolean	false	Visit each listing page for richer data (RERA validation URL, broker license, zone name). Slower.
maxConcurrency	integer	5	Max parallel page loads (1–20).
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy	Proxy settings. Recommended for detail pages.

Integrate via API

The scraped data can be downloaded in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS format via the Apify API.

Tips

• Start with scrapeDetails: false — it's much faster and gives you all the essential data including agent contacts and RERA permits.
• Use scrapeDetails: true only when you need the RERA validation URL, broker license number, or zone name.
• Proxy is recommended for detail pages (AWS WAF protected). Search pages usually work without proxy.
• Search URL builder: Use PropertyFinder's search filters on their website, then copy the URL — all filter parameters are in the query string.
• Set maxItems: 0 for unlimited scraping (respects pagination limits).
