FAQ

Which Propertyfinder countries are supported? The actor validates and supports propertyfinder.ae, propertyfinder.sa, propertyfinder.qa, propertyfinder.eg, and propertyfinder.bh.

Can I use one URL instead of an array? Yes. The input schema shows startUrl as an array for the Apify UI, but the runtime also accepts one string for compatibility with direct JSON input.

Does this scraper visit individual listing detail pages? No. Version 1 extracts listing data from search result page data. This keeps runs faster and lower cost.

Can I schedule Propertyfinder scraping? Yes. Use Apify schedules to run the actor daily, weekly, hourly, or at any custom interval.

Can I access Propertyfinder data by API? Yes. Every run creates a dataset accessible through the Apify API, Python client, JavaScript client, or integrations.

What should I do if a URL returns no results? Open the URL in a browser first and confirm it shows live Propertyfinder listings. If it does, reduce maxItems for a quick test and check the Issues tab if the problem continues.
