Building Management Email address scraper (inspired by ChatGPT scraper) #401

Open matucco opened 1 year ago

matucco commented 1 year ago

Hello, I have read this article (https://www.businessinsider.com/how-coder-used-chatgpt-to-find-apartment-in-berlin-2023-5) and I was wondering if you can help us out in building something like this. Let me know what you think! Thanks :)

We could scrape from https://www.immowelt.de// https://www.immobilienscout24.de// https://www.wg-gesucht.de//

Objective: find email addresses of all real estate property managers in Berlin

Example 1 like from a scraping of Immobilienscout, we are able to extract from all posts in Berlin the ad poster. Like in this case from this https://www.immobilienscout24.de/expose/142848401#/basicContact we can see it is Mr Michael Chibac from Milia Immobilien and get the email

Example 2 https://www.immowelt.de/projekte/expose/k234732 --] Email : mark.seeling@profiselect.com

most of the properties do not show emails from these websites but they show website URLs the way to get the emails is to go to each of the websites and then get mail from there

Hi @matucco ,

The title of your issue seems very different from the thing you want support with.

If you want to adapt flathunter to extract e-mail addresses from contacts listed in exposés, that's certainly something that should be possible - we are already scraping Immowelt, Immoscout and WG-Gesucht.

I'm not sure what the connection would be to ChatGPT. My experience using ChatGPT to write code is that it is quite reluctant to, for example, support with bypassing Captchas (which is necessary for scraping Immoscout).

Maybe Daniel Dippold could be convinced to share his source code with the world, and we could see what he actually did (besides shamelessly plugging his company by riding the AI-hype wave).

:) he is indeed getting attention. I added the chatGPT part because I have 0 coding experience but I am in desperate need of an apartment in Berlin and I am trying to find different ways to get there... That's why I was wondering if you guys can think of a way to get email addresses of the property managers in berlin to contact just like he did. btw I am using the bot and it's great!!!

At least if you know nothing about coding, you have a promising career as tech correspondent for Business Insider available to you.

I'll rename the issue to make it a bit more descriptive, and see if anyone is interested to write this. I don't have time just at the minute, and it feels a bit like an escalation or scope creep, but if it finds resonance and someone wants to write a PR I would be happy to review it.

Thanks, and good luck with your search.
