"""OpenRent (openrent.co.uk) scraper — rental properties only.
|
|
|
|
OpenRent is behind AWS WAF, so we use Playwright (headless Chromium) to solve
|
|
the challenge and get valid cookies. Then we use curl_cffi with Chrome TLS
|
|
impersonation to make requests with those cookies.
|
|
|
|
OpenRent is a rental-only platform, so this scraper only handles RENT channel.
|
|
|
|
HTML structure (as of 2026-03):
|
|
Search results page renders property cards as <a class="pli search-property-card">.
|
|
Each card contains:
|
|
- Monthly price in <div class="pim"> with <span class="text-primary">£X,XXX</span>
|
|
- Weekly price in <div class="piw"> (hidden by Alpine.js)
|
|
- Title in <div class="fw-medium text-primary fs-3">N Bed Type, Location, OUTCODE</div>
|
|
- Features in <ul> with <li> items like "1 Bed", "1 Bath", "Furnished"
|
|
- Listing ID in data-listing-id on the .or-swiper div
|
|
- Description snippet in <div class="line-clamp-2">
|
|
|
|
Detail page has:
|
|
- <h1> with property title including outcode
|
|
- <div id="map" data-lat="..." data-lng="..."> for coordinates
|
|
- Tables with deposit, rent, furnishing, tenant preferences
