Under the hood

How our Kaplan pipeline handles the hard parts

Kaplan relies on complex front-end frameworks and regional routing. Here is how we extract clean data reliably.

Geo-fenced pricing
Regional proxy routing

Kaplan displays different courses and pricing based on the visitor's location. We use residential proxies mapped to your target markets to ensure accurate price capture.

JavaScript rendering
Full Playwright execution for schedule widgets

Course schedules and cohort availability are loaded dynamically via complex JavaScript widgets. We run full Playwright browser sessions to hydrate these components before extraction.

Nested taxonomy
Recursive category traversal

Kaplan's course hierarchy spans multiple levels. Our crawlers recursively traverse this taxonomy to maintain accurate category and sub-category mapping for every course.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what has changed

We maintain a hash index of last-seen values for prices and schedules. Subsequent runs only push diffs, reducing downstream processing load.

Monitoring
24/7 pipeline health checks

Every run emits structured logs. We alert on schema drift, missing price fields, and coverage drops, responding before your downstream systems are affected.

Common questions.

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

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Kaplan legal?

Scraping publicly available course catalogues, pricing, and schedules is generally permissible. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated data. We do not extract personal student data, circumvent authentication walls to access paid test prep materials, or violate GDPR. Clients should review Kaplan's ToS and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle regional pricing differences?

We route requests through residential proxies located in your target regions. This ensures the pricing, currency, and course availability returned by Kaplan's servers matches what a local user would see.

Can you extract dynamic schedule dates?

Yes. Kaplan often loads cohort dates and availability via JavaScript after the initial page load. Our Playwright integration waits for these network requests to complete and extracts the fully rendered schedule data.

How fresh is the data?

For standard course catalogues, we typically run weekly or bi-weekly refreshes. If you are monitoring specific high-value courses for price drops or schedule changes, we can configure daily pipeline runs.

Do you extract instructor profiles?

Yes. We extract public instructor biographies, credentials, and the lists of courses they teach, which is useful for building faculty intelligence databases.

Can you scrape gated practice tests?

No. DataFlirt does not scrape content behind authentication walls. We only extract publicly accessible marketing, pricing, and syllabus information.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our packages start at a defined category list or regional domain with weekly delivery. Contact us with your specific data requirements for a scoped quote.

Can I request a sample dataset before committing?

Yes. We provide a sample run of up to 100 courses as part of the pre-engagement scoping process to validate schema fit and data quality.
