Property Finder Scraper — UAE, Saudi, Egypt, Bahrain & Qatar

Scrape Property Finder sale and rent listings across the Middle East — then download structured real estate data as Excel, CSV, or JSON.

This Actor is a practical Property Finder API alternative for market research, investor screening, rental comps, and lead lists. Choose a market such as UAE or Saudi Arabia, pick Buy, Rent, or Commercial, and get listing rows with prices, beds, baths, area, RERA / permits, agents, brokers, amenities, and photos when present on the detail page.

• Pull homes for sale and apartments for rent from Property Finder UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and Qatar
• Enrich search results with detail-page fields (description, amenities, RERA, agent / broker, images)
• Filter by property type (apartment, villa, office-space, …) — or paste known search / detail URLs
• Export to Excel / CSV / JSON, or connect Make, n8n, Zapier, Python, or MCP
• Pay per event — Actor start + each Dataset listing; no subscription

Worker URL is config, not code: the Actor reads WORKER_BASE_URL from Actor environment variables (plus optional per-run workerBaseUrl). If you migrate the worker to a new host, update WORKER_BASE_URL (and WORKER_AUTH if the API key changes) in Apify Console — no Actor code change required. Set WORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY=1 when the worker supplies its own PROXY_URL.

Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer)

Limit	Free Apify plan	Paid Apify plan
Runs of this Actor	10 total	Unlimited
Results per run	Up to 1,000 (maxItems)	Up to schema max (2,000)

These limits are set by the Actor developer, not Apify. Hitting the run cap finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.

What does the Property Finder Scraper do?

It turns a Property Finder search into a clean Apify Dataset of property listings across five MENA markets.

Under the hood, the Actor:

1. Builds the Property Finder search URL for your market, channel, and property type
2. Collects listing cards from the search results page (#__NEXT_DATA__)
3. Opens detail pages to enrich each row with description, amenities, RERA, and media
4. Writes normalized records you can download or push into automations

Residential proxy matched to the market is recommended (prefilled). Fetching uses curl_cffi TLS impersonation with Playwright Chromium fallback — plain requests / bare curl are blocked by CloudFront.

What data can you extract from Property Finder?

Data point	Buy / Rent	Commercial
Title & listing URL	✅	✅
List price or rent + period	✅	✅
Beds / baths / size (sqft)	✅	✅
Plot size & plot dimensions	—	✅
Payment methods / cheques / service fee	✅	✅
Property details map (type, age, …)	✅	✅
Property type & channel	✅	✅
Address / location tree	✅	✅
GPS coordinates (when shown)	✅	✅
Agent email & phone	✅	✅
Broker email & phone	✅	✅
Contact options (email / phone / WhatsApp)	✅	✅
RERA / permit fields	✅	✅
Amenities & photo gallery	✅	✅
Platform tags (verified, featured, …)	✅	✅
Completion / furnished	✅	—

Every Dataset row also includes scrapedAt and source = propertyfinder. Top-level convenience fields: agentEmail, agentPhone, brokerEmail, brokerPhone. An OUTPUT / RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store reports counts and warnings.

Out of scope: Turkey (zingat.com), login walls, map APIs, lead-form submits, Partner API — see TECH_DEBT.md.

Fetching uses curl_cffi TLS impersonation with optional Playwright browser fallback when CloudFront blocks.

What you can do with it

1. Scrape apartments for sale in the UAE

Set market to AE, channel to BUY, and propertyType to apartment. Get structured rows with price, beds, baths, size, address, and a direct listing URL — ready for comps or investor shortlists.

2. Scrape rental villas and apartments

Set channel to RENT. Rows include rent amount, pricePeriod (yearly / monthly), beds/baths, and furnished status when present.

3. Scrape commercial offices and warehouses

Set channel to COMMERCIAL_BUY or COMMERCIAL_RENT, and propertyType to office-space, warehouse, retail, or shop.

4. Enrich known Property Finder detail URLs

Paste one or more Property Finder detail URLs into Start URLs to skip search and fetch full LDP propertyResult directly.

5. Feed real estate data into automations

Schedule the Actor and send the Dataset to Sheets, Slack, CRM, Make, n8n, Zapier, or an AI agent via Apify MCP / API.

3. Choose a channel (Buy, Rent, Commercial buy, Commercial rent)
4. Optionally set property type, max listings, and whether to open detail pages

Markets covered

Code	Site	Currency	Proxy country
AE	propertyfinder.ae	AED	AE
SA	propertyfinder.sa	SAR	SA
EG	propertyfinder.eg	EGP	EG
BH	propertyfinder.bh	BHD	BH
QA	propertyfinder.qa	QAR	QA

Pricing — how much does it cost to scrape Property Finder?

Pay per event. No subscription.

Event	Price	When charged
apify-actor-start	$0.005	When a normal run starts (scaled by allocated memory GB)
apify-default-dataset-item (result)	$2.50 / 1,000 ($0.0025 each)	Each listing written to the default Dataset

User pays platform usage costs: Yes — compute, residential proxy, and other platform usage are billed to the user in addition to event charges.

Example product charges (events only):

Scenario	Approx. event charge
Canary: 10 listings	$0.005 + 10 × $0.0025 = $0.030
City scan: 100 listings	$0.005 + $0.25 = $0.255
1,000 listings	$0.005 + $2.50 = $2.505

Platform usage (especially residential proxy) is separate and depends on run duration and memory.

---

Live View endpoints

When Standby / Live View is enabled, the Actor exposes a small OpenAPI surface for readiness and discovery:

Endpoint	Purpose
GET /	Readiness / service info
GET /health	Health check
GET /input-example	Low-cost example input
GET /openapi.json	Deployed OpenAPI document

Scraping still runs through a normal Actor run — Live View does not scrape Property Finder by itself.

FAQ

Why did my free-plan run stop after 10 runs?

Free Apify plan users get 10 runs of this Actor and up to 1,000 results per run. These limits are set by the Actor developer (not Apify). When you hit the run cap, the run finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.

Is there a free Property Finder API?

Property Finder does not offer a simple public listing API for bulk export. This Actor gives you structured sale and rent data through Apify runs, Dataset exports, and integrations.

Can I scrape both residential and commercial listings?

Yes. Use channel BUY / RENT for residential, or COMMERCIAL_BUY / COMMERCIAL_RENT for commercial. Run twice (or schedule two tasks) if you need both in one pipeline.

Can I scrape Bahrain and Qatar in one run?

Yes. Set markets: ["BH", "QA"] with a shared channel and property type. maxItems is fair-split across search URLs.

Why is a residential proxy recommended?

Property Finder sits behind CloudFront / AWS WAF. Automation-style clients often get 403. Apify RESIDENTIAL with a country matched to the market (AE / SA / EG / BH / QA) is recommended for reliable cloud runs.

Can I schedule daily Property Finder scrapes?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule with the same input and send the Dataset to Sheets, Slack, a CRM, or your pipeline.

Is it legal to scrape Property Finder?

Use this Actor for legitimate research and analysis only. Respect Property Finder terms of use and applicable law. Results may include publicly displayed listing information; do not use personal data without a lawful basis. Call / WhatsApp / Email lead forms are not clicked.
