In a market where speed is key, and the first impression can be the difference between securing a property or missing out, Browserbite developed a cutting-edge software solution that scraped major German real estate websites, notifying users of fresh listings as soon as they went live.

Objective:

The main goal was to give users a competitive edge in the fiercely competitive German real estate market. Especially for those with specific needs, like pet owners, who often find it challenging to locate accommodating properties.

Solution:

Technical Stack:

• Frontend: Next.js

• Backend API: Nest.js

• Scraping-Infrastructure: Hosted on AWS. We used the playwright library to scrape the platforms.

Key Features:

1. Extensive Data Aggregation: The software efficiently scraped all major German real estate websites.

2. Real-time Notification System: Upon identifying a new listing, the software instantly sent a notification to users via email.

3. Human-like Browsing Simulation: To bypass potential website blockages and maintain a high uptime, a headful scraper was employed. This scraper mimicked human browsing patterns, making it less likely to be flagged or blocked by website security protocols.

4. Customizable User Preferences: Users could set up custom search criteria based on their unique needs.
