Scrape PropertyFinder.ae listings at scale. Extract prices, property details, images, amenities, coordinates, agent contacts, broker info, RERA numbers and more for UAE real estate research and analysis.
What Property Finder UAE Scraper can do
- Six kinds of data in one actor. Property listings, agents, brokers, new projects, Dubai Land Department transactions and area insights with resident reviews. Pick one in mode.
- Residential and commercial, every period. Buy or rent apartments, villas, offices, retail, warehouses, shops and more, with yearly, monthly, weekly or daily rentals. Build a search or paste PropertyFinder search URLs.
- 25+ filters applied by the site. Price, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, price per sqft, furnishing, completion, amenities, keywords, listed within N days, virtual viewings, deal badges and cheques are sent with the search, so only matching pages are read.
- 80+ fields per listing. Price, payment terms, size, bedrooms, coordinates, amenities, images, floor plans, deal badges, plus agent and broker contacts, IDs and profile links.
- Optional listing details. The full photo gallery in full resolution, the DLD permit number and validation link, broker and agent licence numbers, off-plan project data, the price versus the area average and the community rating.
- Checkpoint and resume. A run saves its own progress and survives platform migrations, and resumeFromRunId continues one interrupted run as a delta so you never pay twice for the same row.
Choose what to collect
These inputs let you configure Property Finder UAE Scraper - Listings, Prices & Agents. Open the actor on Apify to enter your values and review the current options.
| Input | What it controls |
|---|---|
modestring · required | Pick one mode. Each mode has its own section below; fields in other modes' sections are ignored. |
locationsarray | City or community names or slugs, e.g. 'Downtown Dubai', 'Dubai Marina' (typed names are looked up on the site; no match stops the run with a clear message), or slugs such as 'dubai', 'abu-dhabi', 'dubai/downtown-dubai', 'dubai/dubai-marina/marina-gate'. What an empty list means depends on the mode: listing search, agents, brokers and new projects = all UAE; DLD transactions = all of Dubai (transactions are published for Dubai only, other cities are skipped); area insights = required, list the areas you want (e.g. 'dubai/jumeirah-village-circle'). Ignored in URL mode. |
categorystring | Buy or rent, residential or commercial. Used by listing search, agents, brokers (which market they work in) and transactions (buy or rent; commercial = commercial deals). |
propertyTypesarray | Listing search: any of the types below. DLD transactions: one of apartments, villas, townhouses, penthouses, duplexes, land, whole-buildings, hotel-apartments, offices, retail-spaces, warehouses, shops. Residential: properties, apartments, studio-apartments, villas, townhouses, penthouses, hotel-apartments, compounds, land, duplexes, whole-buildings, bulk-sale-units, bungalows, full-floors, half-floors. Commercial: properties, offices, retail-spaces, warehouses, shops, showrooms, labor-camps, staff-accommodation, factories, business-centres, co-working-spaces, farms, whole-buildings, land, full-floors, half-floors, villas, bulk-sale-units (buy), bulk-rent-units (rent). |
sortstring | Sort order for results (Search mode only) |
keywordsstring | Free-text keywords matched against the listing, e.g. 'sea view' or 'upgraded'. Search mode only. |
listedWithinstring | Only listings added in the last N days. Search mode only. |
Show 45 more inputs
| Input | What it controls |
|---|---|
virtualViewingstring | Only listings that offer this kind of virtual viewing. Search mode only. |
propertyConditionarray | Only listings marked with one of these conditions. Search mode only. |
mortgageCashbackOnlyboolean | Only sale listings that offer mortgage cashback. Search mode only. |
rentPeriodstring | Which rent period to search. The site shows yearly rentals by default; pick monthly, weekly or daily for short-term rentals, or 'All periods' to search each period in turn (a listing shown under two periods is returned once). Search mode only. |
minChequesinteger | Minimum number of rent cheques accepted. Search mode only. |
maxChequesinteger | Maximum number of rent cheques accepted. Search mode only. |
urlsarray | PropertyFinder URLs, any supported shape: search pages (buy / rent / commercial / off-plan / community / paginated / filtered / sorted), a listing page, an agent or broker profile, the agents or brokers directory, new projects (all UAE, by city, or one project), DLD transactions and area insights. Tracking parameters (utm_, fk) are removed; the non-www and m. hosts are normalised to www. Query filters (and page=N) on a pasted agents / brokers directory, new-projects, transactions or area URL are NOT applied: set them in the input form instead (the log names each ignored parameter). Search-page filters and page=N are applied. Unsupported pages (for example /ar/ which is 404) are skipped with a warning in the log. Left untouched the field runs one example of every distinct shape; the tracking-parameter and non-www examples in the prefill are cleaned to an already-listed page, so they are not in the default list. |
minPriceinteger | Minimum price in AED (for rentals, per rent period). |
maxPriceinteger | Maximum price in AED (for rentals, per rent period). |
minBedroomsinteger | Minimum bedrooms filter. |
maxBedroomsinteger | Maximum bedrooms filter. |
minBathroomsinteger | Minimum number of bathrooms. |
maxBathroomsinteger | Maximum number of bathrooms. |
minAreaSqftinteger | Minimum built-up size in square feet. |
maxAreaSqftinteger | Maximum built-up size in square feet. |
minPricePerSqftinteger | Minimum price per square foot. |
maxPricePerSqftinteger | Maximum price per square foot. |
furnishingstring | Furnishing filter |
completionStatusstring | Property completion status. 'off_plan' includes both off-plan and off-plan primary. |
amenitiesarray | Only listings that have ALL selected amenities. |
dealBadgesarray | Only listings carrying at least one of these site badges. |
verifiedOnlyboolean | Only listings the site marks as verified. |
superAgentOnlyboolean | Only listings posted by a SuperAgent. |
searchTextstring | Only agents or brokers whose name matches this text, e.g. 'emaar'. |
directorySortstring | Order of the agent or broker directory. |
agentLanguagesarray | Only agents who speak one of these languages, e.g. 'Arabic', 'Russian', 'Hindi'. |
agentNationalitystring | Two-letter country code, e.g. 'IN', 'GB', 'AE'. |
transactionsPeriodstring | How far back to read Dubai Land Department transactions (ignored when a From date is set). |
transactionsFromstring | Start date (YYYY-MM-DD). Overrides the period. |
transactionsTostring | End date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today. |
transactionsSortstring | Order of transactions. For ranges above 500 deals the walk goes day by day, newest first (oldest first for 'Oldest'). |
maxReviewsPerAreainteger | Resident reviews to include in each area row (the area's own reviews first, then its sub-areas and buildings). Billed per review. Set 0 for none. |
maxListingsinteger | Maximum number of rows to return (listings, agents, brokers, projects, transactions or areas). Set 0 for unlimited. API calls that leave this out get 100. |
maxItemsPerUrlinteger | Optional cap on rows taken from each search URL or query (on top of Max results). Leave empty for no per-URL cap. |
maxPagesinteger | Maximum pages to paginate per search URL (~25 listings/page). Leave empty to walk every result page. |
includeDetailsboolean | Also open each listing's own page to add the full photo gallery in full resolution, the DLD permit number and validation link, broker and agent licence numbers, project/developer data for off-plan units, the price vs the area average, and the community rating. Slower (one extra page per listing) and billed per enriched listing. |
resumeFromRunIdstring | Run ID (or dataset ID) of a previous run of this Actor. Listings already collected there are skipped, so this run returns only the delta. Leave empty for a normal run. For recurring daily/weekly monitoring of the same search, use Incremental mode below instead. |
incrementalModeboolean | Turn this on for daily or recurring monitoring. A listing is UPDATED when any tracked field changes (price, status, agent, description, amenities and so on); it is compared on content only. Not compared: last_refreshed, image URL cache-busting query strings (?v=...), site badges (price drop, great value, high demand, spotlight), area price comparison, ratings and review counts, and broker listing counters. The first run returns all matching listings as NEW. Later runs normally return only NEW, UPDATED, and REAPPEARED listings. Turn on "Emit unchanged" or "Emit expired" only when you also want those listings returned (and billed). State is kept separately for each search/URL and filter setup; use State key when you want to name or deliberately share a monitoring campaign. To continue one specific interrupted run instead, use Resume from run ID above. |
stateKeystring | Optional. Name this monitoring campaign to keep its state stable, or to deliberately share state across differently-configured runs. Leave empty to let the actor derive a key automatically from the search/URL and filter settings, different searches then never mix state with each other. |
emitUnchangedboolean | Off by default. Turn on to also return listings that have not changed since the last run, marked UNCHANGED. This returns, and bills, extra rows you already have, so leave it off unless you specifically want the full snapshot every run. |
emitExpiredboolean | Off by default. Turn on to also return listings that were present in a previous run but are no longer found, marked EXPIRED. Only produced once a run has fully scanned every search URL, not when Max listings capped it, or when Resume was used. This returns, and bills, extra synthetic rows, so leave it off unless you need expiry tracking. |
ignoreFieldsForChangesarray | Field names whose changes alone should not make a listing UPDATED. Site badges (price drop, great value, high demand, spotlight) and the area price comparison and ratings are already ignored by default. |
mcpConnectorsarray | Optionally send the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations, then select it here. The connector receives a condensed, human-readable summary per item (title + key fields), not the full JSON, the complete record stays in the dataset. Leave empty to skip. Supported: Notion (https://mcp.notion.com/mcp), Linear (https://mcp.linear.app/sse), Airtable (https://mcp.airtable.com/mcp), Apify (https://mcp.apify.com). |
notionParentPageUrlstring | URL (or id) of the Notion page under which item pages are created. Required to enable the Notion export; ignored by other connectors. |
maxNotifyListingsinteger | Cap on items written to each connector per run. Does not affect the dataset. |

- Sold price analysis: pull Dubai Land Department sale and rent transactions with price per sqft, unit number and date.
- Lead generation and agency research: collect agent and broker contacts, ratings, closed deals and active listings for outreach or ranking.
- Off-plan research: compare new projects by developer, starting price, payment plan, delivery date and construction phase.
- Neighbourhood insight: collect resident reviews and sub-scores (traffic, quiet, parks, family friendly, parking) for communities and buildings.
- Recurring monitoring: schedule a saved search to catch new listings, price changes and delistings automatically.

Questions about this actor
What data does Property Finder UAE Scraper return?
The documented output for Property Finder UAE Scraper includes id, title, change type (incremental mode), price, currency, beds, baths and size (sqft). Availability of each field depends on the source page and the selected mode.
How much does Property Finder UAE Scraper cost?
It costs $1.20 per 1,000 results on the Apify Free plan and from $0.80 on paid plans, with smaller per-run or optional feature charges listed on Apify. The Apify listing shows the current rate for every plan.
Why do transactions stop at about 1,000 per day?
The site shows at most 500 transactions per query. The actor splits longer ranges into one query per day and reads busy days from both ends of the price range, so up to 1,000 deals per day come back. On a day with more (common for Dubai rentals), narrow the search with a community, property type or price range. Transactions are published for Dubai only.
Can I get the text of agent reviews?
Agent rows include the average rating, the 1 to 5 star breakdown and the review count. The site does not currently publish agent review texts. Resident reviews of communities and buildings are available in full through Area insights.
Can I get only new, changed or expired listings on a schedule?
Yes. Schedule the actor from the Schedules tab and turn on Incremental mode. Each run then returns only NEW and UPDATED listings by default and unchanged ones are not billed. Turn on Emit expired to also see listings that disappeared, once a run has scanned the whole search to its natural end.
Why did I get REAPPEARED listings, or none at all?
REAPPEARED only fires for a listing that a previous run with Emit expired on already marked as gone. If you have never run with Emit expired on, or a listing has stayed in the results the whole time, you will only ever see NEW, UPDATED and, if enabled, UNCHANGED.
