Dubai real estate projects register (DLD) as JSON API

Dubai Real Estate Projects API is a pay-per-record Apify Actor by Daemon Data that returns Registered Dubai real estate projects from the official Dubai Land Department register: developer, status, project value, escrow account, % completed, units, area, dates. Plus the DLD registered-developers list with licence dates. $5 per 1,000 records. as JSON, CSV or Excel. It costs $0.005 per project record with the default options ($5.00 per 1,000); no login to the source site and no proxy or browser to set up on your side, and the same input runs from the Apify console, one REST call, Python, Node.js, n8n or an AI assistant through MCP.

Daemon Data Dubai Real Estate Projects API on Apify   Listing as plain text

Part of the Dubai Property Data API product line with Dubai DLD transactions, Dubai rent contracts (Ejari): one cost table for sample, backfill and daily-feed jobs, and free sample files (CSV and JSON) from all three registers.

Checked on 9 Nov 2026

The DLD register held 915 projects worth AED 212 billion (323,000 units): 601 active, 114 pending approval, 180 finished in 2026, 14 cancelled. Escrow account numbers on 803 of them. DLD approved 15-30 projects a month in 2026; most projects by developer: Binghatti 37, Emaar 29, Azizi 17. A full-register run returns all 915 rows in about 20 seconds.

Why teams use it

• The complete register in one run. DLD's open-data page shows the projects whose chosen date (start, planned end, approval or completion) falls in the current year, and the four views overlap only partly (401, 323, 280 and 171 rows). The Actor reads all four and merges them by project number, so a finished project keeps its completion date and an active one its approval date: 915 projects instead of 401.
• Escrow account numbers. Every active project carries the escrow account registered with DLD (803 of 915 rows). Off-plan payments in Dubai must go to this account; check it before paying a developer.
• Change feed. With onlyNew a project is delivered once, and again only when its status, construction progress, completion date, planned end, value, unit count or escrow account changes, labelled changeType: "new" or "updated". Unchanged projects are not charged.
• Community names work. DLD uses official area names ("Madinat Al Mataar", "Al Barsha South Fourth"); this Actor also accepts Dubai South, Expo City, JVC, JVT, JLT, Dubai Marina, Downtown, Dubai Hills, Dubai Islands, Business Bay, Creek Harbour, Sports City, Motor City, Damac Hills, Arjan, Town Square and more.
• Value per dwelling. valuePerUnitAed divides the declared value by apartments plus villas (not by land plots), a quick sanity check against launch prices.
• Open data, business data only. Project and developer records as DLD publishes them; no buyer or owner data.
