I've built a small scraper for German apartment listings (prices, locations, size). I originally started out wanting to get a bit deeper into Django's templating system as well as component libraries and needing some data to build on. Hence I ended up scraping apartment listings which in and of itself is pretty interesting data. I ended up writing this blog post about it, maybe it's insightful for some of you!

Have you tried using an LLM to solve the captchas?

Not yet! But it's on my list to try out next after giving SeleniumBase[1] a chance.
