  • All pages tested load successfully

Bonitas Medical Fund

  • Uses WordPress CMS (/wp-content/uploads/)
  • Dynamic plan selector interface
  • PDFs for detailed plan information
  • Less structured than other providers

Momentum Health

  • Nested structure: /momentum/personal/medical-aid/{plan}
  • Some URLs have alternative paths (/products/medical-aid/ vs /medical-aid/)
  • Very detailed benefit pages

Scraping Strategy Recommendations

Discovery Health

✅ Ready to scrape - All URLs work, good content structure

Bonitas Medical Fund

⚠️ Needs special handling:

  • Option 1: Scrape main /plans/ page with longer JavaScript wait time
  • Option 2: Extract text from PDF brochures
  • Option 3: Use Playwright to interact with plan selector

Momentum Health

✅ Ready to scrape - URLs verified through search, good structure

Next Steps

  1. Update scrapers with these verified URLs
  2. For Bonitas, implement PDF scraping OR longer page wait times
  3. Test each provider individually
  4. Validate content quality meets 20+ document threshold
