Fetching via web_fetch

Direct fetching is typically blocked (429 rate limit / anti-bot).

Workaround — use DDG site search:

web_fetch(url="https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=site%3Arealestate.com.au+malvern+vic+3144+house+3+bedroom&kl=au-en", extractMode="text", maxChars=8000)

This returns REA listing URLs and basic descriptions.

Limitations

web_fetch on REA pages usually returns 429 (rate limited)
Anti-bot: TLS fingerprinting, geo-blocking from non-AU IPs
For browsing results, construct the URL and open in browser
DDG site search workaround provides URLs but not full listing data
