Dubai REST Scraper – Dubai Land Department Real Estate Open Data API

Extract Dubai real estate open data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD) — the official Dubai REST platform — as clean, structured JSON. Pull the registry of off-plan projects and licensed developers, the area & community gazetteer (with GPS coordinates), and market transaction data (sales, mortgage, gift) broken down by area, community or project.

Anonymous and account-free — no UAE Pass login required. Fast, structured, and straight from DLD's own data API. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or the API.

🏗️ What this Dubai REST scraper does

• 🏢 Off-plan projects — the full DLD project registry (name, status, completion %, developer; with details: location, buildings, lands, facilities).
• 👷 Developers — every licensed real-estate developer with logo and registry number.
• 🗺️ Areas & communities — the official gazetteer: ids, English/Arabic names, coordinates.
• 📈 Transaction market data — daily totals, and sales/mortgage/gift worth & volume by area, community or project (worth, count, total area, price per sqm).
• 🌐 English & Arabic output.

💡 Use cases

• Real estate market analytics — transaction volumes, values and price-per-sqm by area.
• Off-plan & developer research — project pipelines and developer activity.
• Investment & due diligence — official DLD figures, not portal estimates.
• Data enrichment — join DLD area/community/project ids into your own datasets.

📍 Locations by name

💳 Pricing

Pay per result — $5 per 1000 rows ($0.005 each), regardless of type (project, developer, area, community, daily total, or transaction breakdown row).

❓ FAQ

Do I need a UAE Pass account? No — this uses only the anonymous public open-data surface. The account-gated property wallet and Ejari contract management are out of scope.

Is this official data? Yes — directly from Dubai Land Department's Dubai REST platform.
