Capabilities

Everything you need from The Zebra - nothing you don't

Our insurance scraper handles every layer of the platform: multi-step quote funnels, dynamic pricing models, state-level compliance logic, and the review corpus - with JavaScript rendering, session management, and anti-bot circumvention built in.

Dynamic Form Execution

Automated navigation through complex, multi-step React quote funnels. We supply demographic and vehicle matrices to generate accurate premium tables.

Zip Code Iteration

Map premiums across 41,000+ US zip codes to build comprehensive geographical pricing models for auto and home policies.

Vehicle Matrix Injection

Iterate systematically over make, model, and year combinations to track how vehicle risk profiles affect carrier pricing.

Carrier Premium Tracking

Extract rate differences between Geico, Progressive, State Farm, and regional carriers for identical driver profiles.

Coverage Tier Normalisation

Standardise Basic, Better, and Best coverage tiers across carriers into a unified schema for accurate apples-to-apples comparison.

Discount Eligibility Mapping

Capture telematics, multi-policy, good student, and safe driver discount structures to reverse-engineer competitor pricing strategies.

Carrier Review Mining

Extract customer satisfaction scores, claims experience text, and verified customer tags across the entire carrier database.

State-Level Compliance Logic

Handle state-specific minimum coverage requirements automatically when generating quote requests across different jurisdictions.

Session Persistence

Maintain secure cookie state across complex quote funnels without triggering rate limits or bot protection systems.

Under the hood

How our Zebra pipeline handles the hard parts

Insurance aggregators invest heavily in scraping detection to protect their rate tables. Here is how we stay resilient - and why teams choose managed infrastructure over DIY.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxy rotation + fingerprint spoofing

The Zebra uses advanced bot protection that operates on TLS fingerprints, browser headers, and IP reputation. Our crawlers use US residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints and full cookie session management.

Multi-step navigation
Playwright execution for quote funnels

Insurance quotes require navigating deep, stateful React forms. We run full Playwright browser sessions with JavaScript execution to fill forms, handle AJAX transitions, and extract the final rate tables.

Data normalisation
Standardised coverage schemas

Every carrier displays coverage limits and deductibles differently. Our extraction layer normalises these disparate formats into a clean, unified schema so you can query Progressive against Geico instantly.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what has changed

For large zip code matrices, we maintain a hash index of last-seen premiums per profile. Subsequent runs only push diffs - reducing compute cost and downstream processing load.

Monitoring & alerting
24/7 pipeline health with anomaly detection

Every run emits structured logs to our observability stack. We alert on null-rate spikes, form breakage, schema drift, and coverage drops - responding before you notice.

Applications

Who uses The Zebra data - and how

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

01
Competitive Rate Intelligence

Insurance carriers monitor competitor pricing across thousands of zip codes to adjust their own rate filings and protect market share.

02
Actuarial Model Validation

Actuarial teams compare their internal risk pricing models against live market quotes to identify margin opportunities.

03
Market Expansion Strategy

Strategy teams analyse carrier dominance and pricing floors in new geographical regions before launching products.

04
Consumer Sentiment Analysis

NLP models process carrier reviews to track claims satisfaction and identify competitor service weaknesses.

05
Discount Strategy Optimisation

Product managers track how competitors structure multi-policy and telematics discounts to optimise their own offerings.

06
Aggregator Market Share Tracking

Carriers monitor which competitors consistently win the top recommendation slot on The Zebra for specific driver profiles.

Why DataFlirt

"The Zebra aggregates the US insurance market, but extracting those rate tables requires navigating complex, stateful funnels that block standard crawlers instantly."

Most teams underestimate the investment required: reliable insurance data extraction requires residential proxies, full JavaScript rendering for multi-step React forms, CAPTCHA handling, and anomaly monitoring. DataFlirt absorbs that complexity so your actuaries and engineers can focus on the analysis - not the infrastructure.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the insurance 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 orchestration and data normalisation. Playwright handles the heavy JavaScript execution required to navigate stateful insurance quote forms.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of US residential ISP proxies. Rotation happens per session with sticky cookies to ensure quote funnels complete successfully.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS ECS for sustained form-filling workloads. Airflow handles scheduling, matrix iteration, and SLA alerting.

Common questions.

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

Ask us directly →
Is scraping The Zebra legal?

Scraping publicly available aggregate rate data is generally permissible. DataFlirt targets only non-authenticated, generic profile quotes. We do not extract personal data, circumvent authentication walls, or input real PII. Clients should review terms of service and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle multi-step quote forms?

We use full Playwright browser sessions to programmatically fill demographic and vehicle data, handle React state transitions, and wait for carrier API responses before extracting the final rate table.

Can you iterate across all US zip codes?

Yes. We accept zip code matrices and distribute the form-filling workload across our container infrastructure to map rates nationally or regionally.

How fresh is the premium data?

Data freshness depends on the size of your input matrix. Small regional profiles can be updated daily. National 41,000+ zip code sweeps typically run on a weekly or monthly cadence due to form-filling latency.

Do you extract carrier reviews and ratings?

Yes. We extract the full corpus of carrier reviews, including star ratings, review text, policy type, and helpful vote counts.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our smallest packages start at a defined matrix of zip codes and vehicle profiles with monthly delivery. For larger national matrices or continuous monitoring, we price based on compute volume.

Do you collect PII or perform hard credit checks?

No. We only use generic, anonymised demographic profiles to generate aggregate estimates. We never input real Social Security Numbers or trigger hard credit inquiries.
