Result
The publisher got a working scraper and the article that teaches it, ready to publish together without a second contractor.

The Zillow scraper challenge

The publisher needed working code that doubled as teaching material: a scraper its readers could run, read line by line and extend, and an article that explained the choices rather than just the steps.

What went into the Zillow scraper

Web scrapingSEO and content

  1. A Python scraper for Zillow listings, commented at the level a reader learning the craft can follow

  2. Incremental CSV output, so a long run keeps what it has already collected

  3. A tutorial article written for beginner and intermediate developers, structured around the scraper's design decisions
