Real Estate Platform with ETL & Scraping

A Django application built on aggregated property data from multiple websites. Data was collected through scraping and APIs, put through an ETL process, and then surfaced through the Django site.

Real Estate Platform with ETL & Scraping — architecture overview

01 — The problem

Property listings live on many sites in many shapes. Comparing them requires collecting them first, and then reconciling formats that agree on nothing.

02 — Our solution

A collection layer using scraping and APIs, an ETL stage that normalises everything into one schema, and a Django application that serves the unified result.

Architecture

How it works

The pipeline, step by step — from the first input to the final output.

  1. 01

    Collection

    Listings are gathered from multiple sources via scraping and APIs.

  2. 02

    Transform

    ETL normalises differing formats into a single schema.

  3. 03

    Storage

    Clean records are persisted in the application database.

  4. 04

    Application

    Django serves browsing and search over the unified dataset.

02

A repeatable collection-to-application pipeline

Engineering notes

Challenges we solved

Every source disagrees

Field names, units and completeness vary per site. The transform stage carries most of the complexity.
