Dubizzle Product Details Scraper

Overview

This actor scrapes detailed product information from individual listing pages on Dubizzle.com, the UAE's primary online classifieds platform. It extracts structured data from listings across categories like motors, electronics, real estate, and furniture. You provide the specific listing URLs, and it returns the product details in a consistent JSON format.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Data Extraction: Captures over 40 data fields from each listing, including price, location, specifications, description, and seller information.
• Batch Processing: Handles multiple URLs simultaneously for efficient, large-scale data collection.
• Reliability: Built-in retry logic handles network interruptions and temporary failures.
• Proxy Support: Configurable proxy rotation (including residential proxies via Apify Proxy) helps avoid IP-based blocking.
• Wide Category Support: Works across all major Dubizzle categories (e.g., used cars, mobile phones, furniture).

How to Use

Configure the actor using a JSON input object. The core requirement is an array of Dubizzle product page URLs. You can optionally set the number of retry attempts and proxy settings.
