"""Zoopla (zoopla.co.uk) scraper — sale properties. Zoopla is behind Cloudflare Turnstile (managed interactive challenge), which blocks non-browser HTTP clients and even Playwright with stealth patches. Only Camoufox (an anti-fingerprinting Firefox fork) passes reliably. Zoopla uses Next.js App Router with React Server Components (RSC). Search result data is server-rendered in an RSC stream, not available via __NEXT_DATA__ or a JSON API. Architecture: Unlike the other scrapers which use HTTP clients per outcode, Zoopla keeps a single Camoufox browser alive for the entire scrape. For each outcode, it: 1. Navigates directly to the sale search URL 2. Extracts listing data from the rendered DOM 3. Handles pagination via ?pn=N parameter The browser session replaces the cookie/client pattern used by other scrapers.
