House Scraper Platform
The Dutch rental market is brutal — good apartments disappear within hours. Instead of refreshing Funda all day, I built a Node.js scraper that monitors Funda, MVGM, VBO Verhuurders, and other major platforms every 10 minutes.
Key Highlights
- It filters listings against my criteria and sends instant email notifications
- I found my apartment in Amsterdam in 2 months — the average is 8-12 months
- The platform runs 24/7 on my Raspberry Pi with anti-detection measures for continuous operation
