I had been playing with site scraping using python recently, using it to download galleries off of specific sites and such. I just found out I need to find an apartment very quickly. Like by the end of this November quickly.
This lead me to sit down this Friday evening and start writing a scraper for apartments[.]com (and to subsequently write this post).
The Goal:
Ingest the content of a search on apartments[.]com, pull the rental result page links, log the results in JSON files and submit my info on each page for me.
This is the goal for the evening and I will make an update post either before I pass out or in the morning.
