How to scrape Property Finder

Property Finder (propertyfinder.ae) is a real estate listings site. This guide is built from our own checks of its public pages: what the pages contain, whether our requests get through right now, and the request settings that worked.

Intermittent

3 of 21 of our checks passed in the last 7 days (14.3%).

Last check 2026-10-13 20:34 UTC · last pass 2026-10-13 20:34 UTC · checked with our own requests, never customer data.

Extraction recipe

Public pages carry structured data (Organization, WebSite, SearchResultsPage). You can read those fields straight from the HTML, or select any other field with extract rules (CSS selectors). The recipe below is a set of Scrape API extract rules: we ran it through our API on two real Property Finder pages with the settings on this page and kept only the fields that came back on both. It is checked again every week, and hidden if it stops working.

Code

Complete scripts: set the UJEEBU_API_KEY environment variable and run them as they are. Each one sends the settings on this page and the extraction recipe, prints the extracted JSON, and prints the credits the request cost (the Ujb-Credits response header) on stderr. A non-200 answer stops the script with the API's error message.

Search and listing pages

Pages through 3 result pages, one at a time, and stops early when a page has no results.

SDK tabs use the official Ujeebu SDKs (ujeebu-python 0.1.5, @ujeebu-org/ujeebu-sdk 0.1.2, github.com/ujeebu/ujeebu-go v0.1.8); there is no PHP SDK, so the PHP tab calls the API with curl. For agents and scripts, the same status and settings are at /scrape/propertyfinder.json.

Troubleshooting

The failures our own checks of propertyfinder.ae ran into over the last 7 days, and what got the page in the same check.

What happenedTimesWhat fixed it
The site blocked the request (HTTP 403 or a block page) 17 None of the settings we tried got past it in 7 days.
The page did not load in time 7 Nothing we tried in the same check. Retry later, one request at a time.

A failed request is not billed: only HTTP 200 and 404 responses cost credits.

What people build with Property Finder data

  • Market pricesFollow asking prices by city and property size to see where the market moves.More on this use case
  • New listings alertsCatch new listings in the areas you watch shortly after they appear.
  • Inventory trackingCount active listings per area and type over time.

Limits and etiquette

  • Public pages only. Pages behind a login, and data shown only to signed-in users, are out of scope.
  • Keep the rate modest: fetch pages one after another or with low concurrency, and cache what you already have.
  • robots.txt of www.propertyfinder.ae (read 2026-10-13): public pages allowed for generic crawlers; no crawl delay set.
  • Read Property Finder's terms of service before you collect data at scale, and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This guide is not legal advice.
