Use case — property investors

Scrape real estate listings from Zillow, Redfin, SeLoger, Idealista

Track new listings, price changes, and DOM drops across any real estate portal. Works from your browser, no API key, no IP blocks.

The problem

Why your current scraper doesn't cut it

Real estate investors monitor hundreds of listings across multiple portals. The APIs are paywalled, rate-limited, or regional. Most scrapers get IP-blocked within a day because portals guard listings aggressively.

Stekpad runs from your real browser session. Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, SeLoger, Idealista, LeBonCoin — all handled the same way. No API tiers, no proxies.

Is Web Scraping Legal in 2026? A Practical Guide

Authoritative legal overview covering: hiQ v. LinkedIn (public data scraping is generally lawful in the US), CFAA limits (don't bypass authentication mechanisms you weren't authorized to access), GDPR considerations for EU personal data, robots.txt (advisory, not legally binding), and ToS clauses (civil risk, not criminal). Structured as a decision tree: if you're scraping public data → generally fine; if behind a login → only safe if it's your own session; if personal data of EU citizens → add anonymization. Positions Stekpad's browser-native model as the lowest-risk technical approach.
