GET/api/market

The market snapshot.

The full Qatar market snapshot that powers the market data page: national headline figures, prices by municipality and district, prime freehold-zone prices, the property-type split and a multi-year trend. No API key or authentication required.

Response fields

asOf: ISO date of the latest registered transaction in the data.
headline: Latest-year totalValue, txCount and year-on-year changes (volume and mix, not price).
byMunicipality: Average registered price per m² and sale count per municipality.
byDistrict: The same, at district granularity.
primeZones: Registered apartment prices for prime freehold zones (2025, levels only).
byType: Whole-property sales split by usage (count and value).
trend: Per-year whole-property count and total value.
attribution: The required source-attribution string.

Trimmed for illustration. Arrays hold one row here; the live response returns the full set. Prices are registered sale prices, not asking prices.

GET/api/market/areas

Prices by area.

The per-area price list behind the prices-by-area pages. Each area row carries the figure that matches its emphasis: apartment-led prime zones surface the apartment price, the rest the whole-property price, with a kind label so the number is never ambiguous.

Response fields

areas[]: The curated districts and prime zones that have a standalone page.
areas[].name: District name as it appears in the registry.
areas[].slug: URL slug, matching /market/areas/{slug}.
areas[].pricePerSqm: Average registered price per m² (the kind below says which market).
areas[].count: Number of registered sales behind that price.
areas[].kind: "whole-property" or "apartment", labelling which figure is shown.
areas[].hasApartments: Whether the district also has registered apartment-unit sales.
otherActiveDistricts[]: The lighter tail: active districts with no standalone page (name, pricePerSqm, count).

    {
      "name": "Al Wakra",
      "slug": "al-wakra",
      "pricePerSqm": 3897,

}

Trimmed for illustration. Whole-property and apartment figures are never blended; the kind field tells you which one each row shows.

Caching

Refreshed daily, cached at the edge.

Both endpoints are revalidated on a 24-hour cycle (the source has historically published weekly, but can pause) and served with edge caching. Expect the same payload within a day, then a refresh.

Limits & roadmap

What is not here yet.

Two endpoints are live today. We would rather ship a small, honest API than document things that do not exist, so here is what is on the roadmap and not available yet.

Per-zone detail and trend-filtering endpoints are planned, not live. For now, the two endpoints above are the whole API.
API keys and rate limiting are on the roadmap. There is no auth today; please be considerate with request volume.
Apartment figures cover Aug to Dec 2025 only, levels not trends, so the API exposes no apartment year-on-year.
