Sakani Data Parser & API

Sakani is Saudi Arabia’s government housing platform — ~1.32M monthly visits (Semrush, Aug 2025) listing subsidized new-build units and developer projects under the Kingdom’s home-ownership program — and PropAPIS extracts its housing and project data through a single REST API. It is a developer-direct, government-backed channel central to Vision 2030’s 300k-unit housing push.
