Capabilities

Extract the defining taxonomy of modern design

Our Dezeen scraper handles the platform's visual-heavy DOM: bypassing lazy-loaded image placeholders, normalising erratic editorial layouts, and mapping projects to studio entities.

Architecture Project Extraction

Title, subtitle, location, materials, and full text content scraped at the article level with clean HTML-to-text conversion.

Studio Intelligence Mapping

Link projects to specific architecture firms, extracting studio names, locations, and historical project counts from the text corpus.

Dezeen Jobs Scraping

Daily pulls of new architectural and design roles, capturing job titles, company names, locations, and closing dates.

Awards Directory Parsing

Extract winners, shortlists, and longlists from the Dezeen Awards archive, including jury comments and public vote metrics.

High-Resolution Image Mapping

Bypass low-res lazy-load placeholders to extract the raw CDN URLs for all project photography and floor plans.

Material & Tag Taxonomy

Extract Dezeen's internal categorisation tags, mapping projects by specific materials like cross-laminated timber or board-marked concrete.

Event Guide Tracking

Monitor design weeks, trade fairs, and exhibitions globally with precise date parsing and location data.

Author & Contributor Data

Track journalist output, extracting author names, publication dates, and article counts for media analysis.

Lookbook & Interiors Data

Extract furniture specifications, lighting choices, and finish details from dedicated interior design lookbooks.

Incremental Updates

Run daily or hourly pipelines that only scrape newly published articles, reducing compute overhead and delivering clean diffs.

Under the hood

Handling visual-heavy publisher DOMs

Scraping media publishers requires handling heavy asset payloads and inconsistent editorial layouts. Here is how we build resilience.

Pagination
Handling infinite scroll and load-more states

Dezeen relies heavily on JavaScript-driven infinite scroll for category pages and lookbooks. We use Playwright to simulate user scrolling, intercepting the underlying XHR requests to paginate cleanly without rendering unnecessary DOM elements.

Asset extraction
Bypassing lazy-loaded placeholders

Standard HTTP clients only see 10px blurred placeholder images. Our pipeline parses the `srcset` and `data-src` attributes within the DOM, extracting the highest resolution CDN URLs directly without downloading the heavy image payloads during the crawl.

Layout variability
Normalising editorial structures

Editorial content is unstructured by nature. A standard article, a video post, and a promotional feature have entirely different DOM structures. We use multi-layered XPath selectors to normalise these variations into a strict, predictable JSON schema.

Change detection
Hybrid RSS and sitemap monitoring

To provide low-latency updates for new articles, we monitor Dezeen's XML sitemaps and RSS feeds. This triggers targeted scrapes of new URLs instantly, rather than running expensive daily crawls of the entire category tree.

Anti-bot layer
Cloudflare bypass for high-volume scrapers

High-concurrency requests to Dezeen trigger Cloudflare rate limits. We distribute request loads across residential proxy pools, spoofing TLS fingerprints and managing session cookies to maintain uninterrupted access.

Applications

Who uses Dezeen data

Teams across industries use dezeen.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Trend Forecasting

Design agencies analyse material mentions, colour palettes, and project tags over time to quantify shifts in architectural trends.

02
Competitor Intelligence

Architecture studios track rival firms, monitoring publication frequency, project types, and award nominations.

03
B2B Lead Generation

Material suppliers and furniture brands target studios that frequently specify their product categories in published projects.

04
Recruitment Analytics

HR teams track Dezeen Jobs to monitor hiring volume, salary ranges, and talent demand across global design capitals.

05
Academic Research

Universities use the historical text and image corpus to train machine learning models for architectural classification.

06
PR & Media Monitoring

Agencies track brand mentions, product features, and sentiment analysis for their design industry clients.

Why DataFlirt

"Dezeen holds the defining taxonomy of contemporary architecture and design. Extracting it requires handling infinite scrolls, complex DOM structures, and heavy media payloads."

Most teams fail at scraping visual-heavy publishers because they rely on basic HTTP clients that choke on lazy-loaded images and dynamic layouts. DataFlirt deploys Playwright clusters to render the full DOM, extract high-resolution CDN assets, and normalise complex editorial structures into clean relational data. You get the dataset, we handle the infrastructure.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Dezeen pipeline

Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheus
Scrapy + Playwright Stack

Scrapy handles crawl orchestration and deduplication. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering, infinite scroll interactions, and lazy-load triggering.

High-Bandwidth Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies to handle the high request volume required for media-heavy publisher scraping without triggering rate limits.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS Lambda and ECS. Airflow handles scheduling and dependency management. All state is stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

About dezeen.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Dezeen legal?

Scraping publicly available information from Dezeen is generally permissible under applicable law in the UK and US. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated editorial content, job listings, and award directories. We do not extract personal data behind login walls. Clients should review Dezeen's ToS and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle lazy-loaded images?

We do not rely on basic HTTP clients that only capture 10px blurred placeholders. Our Playwright integration parses the DOM to extract the highest resolution CDN URLs from the srcset attributes, providing you with links to the original image files.

Can you extract data from Dezeen Jobs?

Yes. We can configure daily pipelines to extract new job postings, including job titles, company names, locations, salary bands, and closing dates. We track these as structured records for recruitment analytics.

How frequently can you scrape new articles?

For continuous monitoring, we utilise a hybrid approach tracking Dezeen's XML sitemaps and RSS feeds. This allows us to detect and scrape new articles within minutes of publication without running full site crawls.

Do you download the images or just provide URLs?

Our standard pipelines extract and deliver the raw, high-resolution CDN URLs. If your use case requires the actual image files, we can configure an S3 sync job to download and store the media assets in your AWS bucket.

Can you map projects to specific architecture studios?

Yes. We extract the studio name from the article metadata and text body, allowing you to build relational datasets linking specific architecture firms to their published projects and material choices.

Do you extract comments from articles?

Yes. We can target the comment section DOM elements to extract user names, timestamps, and comment text for sentiment analysis and community engagement metrics.
