Dabang (다방) Data Parser & API

Dabang (다방) is one of South Korea’s top-three property apps — a leader in the residential rental market — and PropAPIS extracts its jeonse / wolse rental and resale listings through a single REST API. Dabang’s data carries Korea-specific fields like jeonse (lump-sum deposit) and wolse (monthly rent) structures, which are uniquely valuable and idiosyncratic.

Data Availability

Korea’s rentals carry locale-unique fields — jeonse (lump-sum deposit) and wolse (monthly rent with deposit) structures plus maintenance fees — that are valuable and idiosyncratic to resell (per the research report). Dabang is app-first with moderate anti-bot; PropAPIS normalises these deposit structures into clean fields.
