Capabilities

Structured local tourism data

Tour Itinerary Extraction

Extract step by step itineraries, meeting points, inclusions, and exclusions for every listed tour.

Host Profile Parsing

Capture host names, languages spoken, response rates, and historical review aggregates.

Dynamic Pricing Models

Extract base prices, per person rates, group discounts, and child pricing variations across currencies.

Guest Review Mining

Paginate through all tour and host reviews to capture text, ratings, dates, and host responses.

Availability Tracking

Monitor calendar availability and blockout dates for specific tours and hosts.

Category & Tag Mapping

Normalise tour categories like Food, History, or Nightlife for accurate database mapping.

Destination Aggregation

Compile total tour counts, active hosts, and average pricing metrics per city.

Media URL Extraction

Capture high resolution image URLs for tour galleries and host profile pictures.

Incremental Updates

Run daily or weekly diffs to capture new tours, price changes, and recent reviews.

Under the hood

Overcoming Withlocals extraction barriers

Travel platforms use dynamic rendering and rate limiting to protect their inventory. Our infrastructure handles these challenges natively.

Dynamic calendars
JavaScript hydration for availability

Tour availability and pricing often require calendar interaction. We use Playwright to execute JavaScript, select dates, and extract the resulting price variations.

Pagination limits
Deep category crawling

Standard category pages limit visible results. We utilise internal API endpoints and specific search parameters to bypass UI pagination limits and extract the full catalogue.

Rate limiting
Residential proxy rotation

Withlocals monitors request frequency from single IP addresses. We distribute requests across a pool of residential proxies to maintain high throughput without triggering blocks.

Schema drift
Resilient DOM selectors

Platform updates frequently alter page structures. We implement multiple fallback selectors for critical fields like pricing and inclusions to ensure data continuity.

Data normalisation
Standardising currency and dates

We parse raw strings into structured data types, converting localised date formats and standardising currency codes for immediate database insertion.

Applications

Who uses Withlocals data

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

01
OTA Aggregation

Travel platforms integrate local tour inventory to expand their destination offerings.

02
Pricing Strategy

Tour operators monitor competitor pricing, group discounts, and seasonal variations to optimise their own rates.

03
Host Recruitment

Competing platforms identify highly rated, multi lingual local guides for targeted recruitment.

04
Market Expansion

Travel startups analyse destination density and category gaps to launch services in underserved cities.

05
Sentiment Analysis

Hospitality brands analyse review corpora to identify trending local experiences and guest preferences.

06
Content Enrichment

Travel blogs and guidebooks use structured itinerary data to generate accurate destination guides.

Why DataFlirt

"Withlocals holds the definitive dataset for private, host-led tourism experiences, but extracting this unstructured data requires dedicated pipeline architecture."

Travel aggregators underestimate the complexity of scraping dynamic booking platforms. Extracting accurate pricing tiers based on group sizes, parsing multi language host profiles, and mapping geo coordinates requires continuous selector maintenance and residential proxy rotation. DataFlirt handles the extraction logic so your engineers can focus on product development.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the 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. 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 withlocals.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Can you extract dynamic pricing based on group size?

Yes. Our scrapers execute the necessary JavaScript to simulate different group sizes and extract the corresponding per person rates and total prices.

How do you handle multi language host profiles?

We capture the raw text of the profile and identify the listed spoken languages, normalising them into an array for easy database querying.

Is host contact information available?

We extract publicly visible profile information. We do not extract private email addresses or phone numbers hidden behind authentication walls.

How frequently can the catalogue be updated?

We support daily, weekly, or monthly runs. For specific high priority destinations, we can configure sub daily monitoring for price and availability changes.

Do you capture all historical reviews?

Yes. We paginate through the entire review history for both tours and individual hosts, capturing ratings, dates, and text.

Can you map tours to specific geo coordinates?

We extract the listed meeting points and general destination data. Precise geo coordinates are captured if exposed in the page source or map widgets.
