nocode tools

Has anyone found a good web scraper to aggregate individual broker site listings?

I figure you can dump it all in airtable and make your own listing aggregator based on the brokers/firms you care about, but haven't found a good scraper.

Anyone else using nocode in their search?

Thanks for the tag Luke. Hi Nathan. It is a bit more complicated than that. Scraping part is easy, formatting part is not. Not every site or list are created the same. We've been doing this since###-###-#### We have two sites X5deals.com and Interexo.com . We still have about 7 people that clean the data for us and make it uniform. Beside the 7 people, we have a team of 10 developers and engineers. We aggregate deals from over 3400 sites. So just imagine how much data comes in and has to be structured. It is not a one man job. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I did this with a Chrome extension. I documented my process in the following blog post:

As others have mentioned, the cleaning up was critical. Also, if you plan to email them, you may want to check out my other posts, so you don't end up in the spam folder.
