Capabilities

Everything you need from Hitched.co.uk

Our Hitched scraper handles the entire UK wedding directory: venues, suppliers, reviews, and pricing packages. We bypass rate limits and render JavaScript to capture hidden contact details.

Venue Capacity & Pricing

Supplier Directories

Scrape photographers, florists, bands, and caterers. Capture starting prices, travel radiuses, and Hitched Wedding Award history.

Couples' Reviews

Extract full review text, star ratings, wedding dates, and vendor responses across all venue and supplier profiles.

Wedding Packages

Parse structured package details, including seasonal pricing variations, guest minimums, and specific food/drink inclusions.

Dress Catalogues

Extract designer names, silhouettes, necklines, fabrics, and high-resolution image URLs from the bridal wear section.

Contact Detail Reveal

Execute JavaScript clicks to reveal hidden phone numbers, email addresses, and external website links on supplier profiles.

Regional Mapping

Extract location data, coordinates, and county-level categorisation to build regional density maps of wedding services.

Forum Discussions

Scrape the Hitched community forums for trending topics, vendor recommendations, and budget discussions.

Change Detection

Run continuous pipelines to detect new supplier registrations, price changes, and newly published reviews.

Under the hood

How our Hitched pipeline handles the hard parts

Extracting data from directory sites requires navigating rate limits, dynamic rendering, and inconsistent layouts. Here is how we build resilience.

Dynamic contact reveals
JavaScript execution for hidden fields

Hitched hides supplier phone numbers and website links behind JavaScript event listeners to track engagement. We use Playwright to simulate human clicks, wait for network responses, and extract the unmasked contact details.

Map-based pagination
Coordinate grid traversal

Many search results on Hitched are bound to map viewports rather than traditional pagination. Our crawlers traverse coordinate grids systematically to ensure 100% coverage of regional suppliers without missing edge cases.

Bot mitigation
UK residential proxies

Directory sites implement strict rate limiting to prevent scraping. We route requests through UK-based residential ISP proxies, rotating IPs and TLS fingerprints to maintain high concurrency without triggering Cloudflare blocks.

Inconsistent schemas
Adaptive selectors

A castle venue profile looks different from a solo photographer profile. We build adaptive schemas that normalise data across disparate category templates, ensuring clean, predictable output in your data warehouse.

Image extraction
High-res gallery parsing

Vendor galleries use lazy-loading and responsive image sets. We intercept the underlying JSON payloads and CDN URLs to extract the highest resolution image assets without downloading thumbnails.

Applications

Who uses Hitched data

Teams across industries use hitched.co.uk data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Venue Benchmarking

Hospitality groups compare their package pricing, capacities, and review sentiment against regional competitors.

02
B2B Lead Generation

Software vendors and wholesalers extract supplier contact details to pitch CRM tools, insurance, or wholesale products.

03
Market Research

Analysts track the growth of specific wedding categories and regional price inflation over time.

04
AI Wedding Planners

Startups train recommendation engines on Hitched venue data, pricing rules, and supplier availability.

05

Why DataFlirt

"Hitched.co.uk holds the definitive dataset for the UK wedding industry, but accessing supplier pricing and capacity limits requires navigating complex search filters and dynamic map interfaces."

Extracting wedding market data requires more than simple GET requests. Hitched employs rate limiting, dynamic JavaScript rendering for contact details, and complex pagination across regional directories. DataFlirt handles the proxy rotation and browser simulation so your team can focus on market analysis rather than bot mitigation.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Hitched 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, deduplication, and retry logic. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering, cookie sessions, and interaction flows. Combined via scrapy-playwright middleware.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies across UK regions. Rotation happens per-request with sticky sessions where required. IP score monitoring prevents blacklisted pool contamination.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS Lambda (burst) and ECS (sustained). Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

About hitched.co.uk scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Hitched.co.uk legal?

Scraping publicly available directory information is generally permissible under UK law. DataFlirt targets only public venue profiles, supplier listings, and reviews. We do not extract personal user data from private planning accounts or circumvent authentication walls.

How do you handle hidden contact details?

Hitched requires users to click buttons to reveal phone numbers and external website links. Our Playwright integration simulates these interactions at scale, capturing the unmasked data.

How frequently can you update the data?

We can configure pipelines to run daily, weekly, or monthly. For directory data, a weekly or bi-weekly cadence is typically sufficient to capture new suppliers and price adjustments.

Do you extract images of venues and dresses?

We extract the high-resolution source URLs for all images in vendor galleries and dress catalogues. We deliver these URLs in the structured payload, allowing your systems to download the assets directly.

Can I filter extraction by specific UK counties?

Yes. We can scope the pipeline to specific regions, counties, or vendor categories (e.g., only photographers in Surrey and Kent).

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our minimum engagement covers a defined category or region extraction with regular delivery. Contact us with your specific data requirements for a custom quote.

Can I request a sample dataset?

Yes. We provide a sample run of up to 100 venue or supplier profiles during the scoping phase to ensure the schema meets your requirements.
