Real Estate alerts
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need the following as a Phase 1 and a Phase 2
The Phase 2 is the below description complete.
Phase 1 is basically the same script but input search criteria can be manually added in mySQL table by myself and only need to search daft.ie
Then continue with the balance of the work.
I need Phase 1 ASAP and the rest after a few days.
I need a script to run on a hosted Linux server LAMP which will:
1. screenscrape or use API
2. run triggered by a crontab which I will setup on server (Probably every minute or 5 minutes)
3. to search for new properties to let on 4 x Real Estate sites based on criteria which must be read from a config table
4. and save in a mySQL database if new. Save userid and listing URL
5. and send an email to notify of the new listing
6. email to include link of listing URL
If the listing gets posted to SQL database and it already exist in database for the specific Userid, just ignore listing and go to next. If it does exist but not for the userid it runs on, then add in database and send email for that userid
Run script checking listings for each userid and search criteria
Real Estate sites are:
daft.ie
rent.ie
Property.ie
let.ie
The Search criteria in config table must be something in the order of:
-----------------------------------------------------------
userid
email address where to send alert
price min
price max
county
city
bedroom minimum
--------------------
Ideas:
Searches can normally be made based on "Recent" so when you see an old listing already seen before, no need to search further or alternatively search on recent but only look at first 10 per county or city
Daft.ie has an API and need a key. I don't know about the other sites if they have an API and or if screenscraping might be an easier route to take.
Some info which might help on PI's for DAFT.ie
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=daft+API&ia=web
Amongst these is a script that use the API which could be used for this script.
But then we still need for rent.ie and property.ie and let.ie
It should be written such that the config data in the config table gets populated from a webbased frontend.
Simple Web page, nothing fancy.
So in short, multiple userid's can search each on own search criteria and get notified of a new property listed.
There is no database yet so you design what will work
