PropertyFinder.ae UAE Real Estate Listings

Pull live apartment, villa, penthouse, townhouse and land listings straight from PropertyFinder.ae — the UAE's biggest real-estate portal — filtered by deal type (sale/rent) and emirate, sorted freshest-first. No login, no API key, no browser needed on your side.

What you get

• Title, price (with currency), bedrooms, floor area in m², location, coordinates, a short description, up to 5 photos, the listing date and the direct listing URL for every ad found.
• Filter by sale or rent, any of the 7 UAE emirates, and optionally drop anything older than N days.
• Results are sorted freshest-first among what was scanned.
• Runs on Apify: schedule it, monitor it, call it from the API, export to JSON/CSV/Excel or push straight into your own pipeline.

How to run it

1. Click Try for free — no card needed on the free plan.
2. Pick Deal type (sell or rent) and Emirate (defaults to Dubai).
3. Hit Start and pull the results from the dataset (UI, API or webhook).

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.005 per run start + $0.003 per result. No monthly seat, no minimum. 100 listings found cost about $0.30 (the one-time start fee plus 100 result rows). Rows where the source returned nothing (zero matching listings, nothing within your freshness window, or a request that failed) are returned for transparency but are never charged for.

Input

Field	Required	What it does

Field	Meaning
found	true for a real listing row, false for a not-found/error row.
price	Listing price as a number, in currency (always AED).
rooms	Bedroom count (0 for a studio); null when not applicable (e.g. land plots).
area_sqm	Floor/plot area converted to square meters (source lists it in sqft).
location	Full location string as shown on the listing: tower/building, community, area, emirate.
posted_date	Full ISO 8601 timestamp of when the listing was posted/refreshed — rows are sorted by this, freshest first.
images	Up to 5 preview photo URLs.
partial	true when this run stopped without PropertyFinder.ae itself confirming there is nothing more — either max_pages/max_items was reached, or an unconfirmed empty page came back. false only when the source's own response confirmed no further results exist. Carried on every row, found or not.
partial_reason	Plain-English reason when partial is true; null when it's false.

A not-found row looks like:

{
    "emirate": "fujairah",
    "deal_type": "rent",
    "found": false,
    "note": "PropertyFinder.ae returned listings for this emirate/deal_type, but none were within the last 1 day(s) (25 dropped as stale).",
    "scraped_at": "2026-08-01T05:10:22.842Z"
}

FAQ / Limitations

Does this need a PropertyFinder.ae account or API key? No — it reads public pages a visitor sees, no login.

Why emirate-level, not a specific building or district? PropertyFinder.ae's robots.txt blocks the query-string search endpoint this Actor could otherwise use for finer filtering. This Actor instead reads the emirate-wide "properties for sale/rent" page — a plain page confirmed both allowed by robots.txt and currently listed in PropertyFinder's own sitemap. Narrower filtering isn't available through a robots.txt-compliant path right now.

What this is NOT. This does not fetch agent/broker contact details, the full amenities list, off-plan project listings, or the seller's phone number — only what a property-type listing card carries on the emirate page. It does not guarantee every listing on PropertyFinder.ae is returned; scanning stops at max_pages / max_items, and results are the freshest found within that scan, not a strict site-wide "newest first" crawl.

Found a bug or need a custom variant (a different GCC portal, extra fields)? Open an issue on the Actor page.

Machine use

The Actor is callable through the Apify API, SDK, and Apify MCP server. The input and Dataset row are the machine-facing contract; rooms/area_sqm/images return exactly what a listing card publishes and are null/empty rather than guessed when the source doesn't carry a value, and scanning is bounded by max_pages/max_items — this Actor never claims a full site-wide crawl.
