Real-Estate Scraping
Property portals are some of the most JSON-friendly targets on the web. Most render listing data server-side and embed it in __NEXT_DATA__ / __NUXT__ or a JSON-LD block, or load it from an internal search API you can call directly — so you rarely need a browser. The fields that matter for almost every use case:
- Price — asking price (sale) or monthly rent; watch for currency, "price on request", and per-sqft figures.
- Configuration — BHK / bedrooms + bathrooms, furnishing status, property type (apartment, villa, plot, PG, commercial).
- Area — carpet, built-up, and super built-up area (and the unit — sqft vs sqm).
- Location — locality, city, full address, and lat/lng coordinates for mapping and comps.
- Listing meta — floor / total floors, listing age, sale-vs-rent, photos.
- Source — agent vs owner-direct, agent/brokerage name, and (in India) the RERA registration ID.
Common use cases: price monitoring, market/area analysis, rental comps, and lead generation for agents.
