What's Included

Property Information Scraper

  • scrapePropertyInfo.py: Scrapes detailed property information from Imovelweb listings including name, square meters, and pricing with Brazilian geo-targeting and full JavaScript rendering.

Requirements

  • Python 3.7+
  • requests library
    Install with:
    pip install requests
  • beautifulsoup4 library
    Install with:
    pip install beautifulsoup4
  • A Scrape.do API token for accessing Imovelweb bypassing DataDome protection (free 1000 credits/month)

How to Use: scrapePropertyInfo.py

  1. Copy the full property URL from Imovelweb, example:
    https://www.imovelweb.com.br/propriedades/casa-no-condominio-east-village-disponivel-para-venda-2986272608.html

  2. In the script, replace:

    token = "<your_token>"
target_url = urllib.parse.quote_plus("<target_property_url>")

    python scrapePropertyInfo.py

The script will display property information in the console:

Listing Name: Casa no Condomínio East Village
Square Meters: 180
Sale Price: R$ 850.000

Technical Details

Data Extraction Method

  • Property name: Targets h1 header element
  • Square meters: Uses regex pattern (\d+)\s*m² on property type heading
  • Price extraction: Uses regex pattern R\$\s*[\d.,]+ on price value div
  • Brazilian geo-targeting: Uses geoCode=br parameter for regional access

API Configuration

  • render=true: JavaScript rendering required for dynamic content
  • geoCode=br: Brazilian geo-targeting (REQUIRED)

Protection Bypass

Imovelweb uses DataDome protection that is automatically bypassed using Scrape.do's premium proxy network and anti-bot detection evasion.

Common Errors

403 or 429: DataDome protection triggered; Scrape.do automatically handles this
JavaScript rendering required: Property pages need render=true for full content access
Brazilian geo-targeting needed: Content only accessible from Brazil via geoCode=br
Regex pattern failures: Property format may vary for different listing types

Supported Property Types

This scraper works with all Imovelweb property categories including:

  • Houses and condominiums
  • Apartments and studios
  • Commercial properties
  • Land and lots
  • New construction projects
