REAL ESTATE
Bayut Property Listings
Complete property listing extraction for the UAE real estate market with prices, specifications, agent details, and high-res imagery. Data used to power a property comparison platform.
The challenge.
A proptech startup building a UAE property comparison platform needed comprehensive listing data from Bayut, the region's largest real estate portal. Bayut's anti-scraping measures include Cloudflare protection, dynamic rendering, and aggressive rate limiting — and the data had to include high-resolution property images.
The approach.
Cloudflare Bypass
Used Playwright with TLS fingerprint spoofing and JavaScript challenge solving to bypass Cloudflare's bot detection. Maintained warm browser sessions with valid cookies to reduce challenge frequency.
Listing Data Extraction
Parsed listing pages for property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, area (sq ft), price, furnishing status, amenities list, and agent contact details. Handled both sale and rental listings with different data schemas.
Image Pipeline
Downloaded and stored high-resolution property images (avg 15 per listing) with CDN URL mapping. Compressed images to web-optimized formats while maintaining quality for the comparison platform's gallery views.
JSON API Delivery
Delivered data as a RESTful JSON API the client's platform could query directly. Included full-text search, geospatial filtering by neighborhood, and price range queries with sub-100ms response times.
Sample output.
{
"listing_id": "BYT-R-84291",
"title": "3BR Apartment in Dubai Marina",
"price_aed": 2450000,
"area_sqft": 1847,
"bedrooms": 3,
"agent_name": "Faisal Properties LLC"
