Getting data from a website, without API? [closed]

Question

I want to get automatically data about real estate from this site:

LINK

However, they do not have an api. How would you generally do that? I am thankfully for every response!

Answer 1

You're going to have to download the page yourself, and parse through all the info yourself.

You possibly want to look into the Pattern class, look at some regex, and the URL and String classes will be very useful.

You could always download an html library to make it easier. Something like http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/ possibly.

Very general question so obviously I can't provide relevant code, but this is known as scraping.
