⚙️ Advanced Configuration

Using Proxies

For reliable scraping, especially at scale, use Apify Proxy:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/search?c=2&fu=0" }
  ],
  "maxResults": 500,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Limiting Results

Control scraping volume per URL:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/search?l=43&c=1" },
    { "url": "https://www.propertyfinder.sa/en/search?l=82&c=4" }
  ],
  "maxResults": 25
}

This will scrape 25 properties from each URL (50 total).

  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.propertyfinder.bh/en/search?c=1&fu=0" }
