Our Homegate scraper handles every layer of the platform: property listings, rental yields, agency portfolios, and dynamic map layers, with Swiss proxy rotation and anti-bot circumvention built in.
Title, description, rooms, living space, plot area, and year built. Scraped across all property types: apartments, houses, and commercial.
Capture gross rent, net rent, extra costs, purchase prices, and price-per-square-metre metrics. Timestamped per crawl.
Extract broker details, contact information, website URLs, and total active portfolio size for every listing.
Normalised extraction across German, French, Italian, and English versions of the Homegate platform.
Capture canton, municipality, ZIP code, street address, and exact map coordinates for spatial analysis.

Extract high-resolution image URLs, floor plan PDFs, and 3D virtual tour links associated with the property.
Monitor time-on-market metrics, price drops, and listing status changes over time.
Run one-off bulk exports or configure continuous pipelines at hourly or daily cadences with change-detection diffing.
Brief in. Clean data out.
Provide cantons, property types, or specific agency IDs. We design the extraction schema together.
We configure Scrapy crawlers, Playwright instances, Swiss proxy rotation, and session management.
Schema validation, null-rate checks, price-outlier detection, and coordinate verification before full launch.
JSON, CSV, or Parquet pushed to your S3 bucket, BigQuery dataset, or Snowflake stage on agreed cadence.
Swiss real estate portals invest in scraping detection and dynamic content loading. Here is how we maintain steady pipelines.
Homegate blocks traffic from known data centre IPs. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies located strictly within Switzerland, rotating per request to maintain a clean reputation score.
Location coordinates and certain contact details load dynamically via JavaScript. We run Playwright browser sessions to trigger these network requests and capture the underlying JSON payloads.
Listings in Geneva differ in language from those in Zurich. Our pipeline normalises field names and categories into a single unified schema, regardless of the listing's original language.
We maintain a hash index of all active properties. Subsequent runs flag price changes and identify when a property is removed from the market, providing accurate time-on-market metrics.
Every run emits structured logs to our observability stack. We alert on null-rate spikes, schema drift, and coverage drops, ensuring your valuation models always have fresh data.
Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) require dense, accurate historical pricing data across all Swiss cantons.
Firms calculate rental yields by comparing purchase prices against average rental rates in specific municipalities.
Brokerages track competitor portfolio sizes, time-on-market metrics, and market share across regions.
Corporate relocation firms monitor housing availability in real time to secure properties for incoming staff.
Researchers correlate property density, Minergie certifications, and pricing to analyse urban development trends.
Machine learning teams use structured property features and descriptions to train real estate classification models.
"Homegate.ch holds the definitive pulse of the Swiss real estate market, but extracting accurate canton-level pricing requires a dedicated infrastructure."
Most teams underestimate the complexity of scraping Swiss property portals. Reliable Homegate extraction requires localised residential proxies, handling multi-language DOM structures, and dynamic map loading. DataFlirt absorbs that complexity so your engineers can focus on valuation models, not infrastructure.
Everything supported by our homegate.ch scraper — rendered SPA elements, auth walls, rate-limit evasion and beyond.
Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.
Scrapy handles crawl orchestration, deduplication, and retry logic. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering, cookie sessions, and map hydration.
We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies specifically located in Switzerland. Rotation happens per request to avoid geo-blocking.
Pipelines run on AWS Lambda and ECS. Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state is stored in managed Postgres.
Data delivered to where your team already works — no new tooling required.
About homegate.ch scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.
Ask us directly →Scraping publicly available property data is generally permissible for analytical purposes. DataFlirt extracts only public, non-authenticated listings, prices, and agency details. We do not extract personal data of private landlords hidden behind contact forms. Clients should review local Swiss data protection laws (revDSG) for specific use cases.
We route all Homegate traffic through residential ISP proxies physically located in Switzerland. This ensures our requests appear as legitimate domestic traffic, bypassing data centre IP blocks.
Yes. Our change detection system monitors the active catalogue. When a previously scraped listing returns a 404 or is marked inactive, we record the delisting timestamp, providing accurate time-on-market data.
Homegate operates in German, French, Italian, and English. We configure the crawler to request a specific language locale or map the varied field names into a single, normalised English schema during the extraction phase.
Full catalogue refreshes for the Swiss market typically complete within a 4 to 6 hour window. We can configure specific canton or city searches to run at hourly intervals for higher frequency tracking.
Our minimum engagement starts at a weekly sync of the entire active Homegate catalogue. Custom filters for specific property types or cantons are also available.
Yes. We provide a sample run of up to 1,000 property listings as part of the scoping process. This allows you to validate the schema, location accuracy, and data completeness before signing a contract.
20-minute scoping call. Pilot dataset within the week. Production within two. Whether you need a one-off canton export or a continuous price-monitoring feed across the Swiss market, we build and operate the pipeline. Tell us what you need.
