Yo, so I’ve been trying to scrape apartments data for a while now, and lemme tell ya, it’s a *mess* out there. Like, half the tools I tried either break after 2 seconds or cost an arm and a leg.
In 2023, tho, I’ve found a few gems. Scrapy is still solid if you’re into coding, but tbh, it’s a bit of a headache if you’re not techy. For no-code peeps, Octoparse is decent, but it’s kinda slow.
Also, pro tip: always check if the site you’re trying to scrape apartments from has an API. Saves so much time and effort. And don’t forget proxies—sites *hate* scraping and will block you fast.
What’s everyone else using? Any tools or tricks I’m missing? Pls share, cuz scraping apartments is lowkey driving me nuts lol.
