How does Flair web scraping work?

Flair uses a Python-based web scraping system to automatically pull floorplan data from your property website. This allows us to keep your pricing and availability synced with platforms like Google Ads and Google Business Profile (GBP) without requiring manual uploads or integrations.


βš™οΈ What We Scrape

When scraping is enabled for a property, Flair pulls:

  • Starting rent (lowest price if shown as a range)

  • Floorplan name

  • Bedroom and bathroom count

  • Square footage

  • Availability (if listed)

We collect this data even if a floorplan has no price or availability to ensure your listings remain consistent across platforms.


🐍 How It Works

  • Flair uses Python-based scraping tools to read and extract content from the live HTML of your website.

  • We identify and monitor specific patterns in your floorplan layout to capture accurate information.

  • This process runs automatically every 2–3 hours, ensuring your ads and GBP listings reflect current pricing and availability.


πŸ”’ Is It Safe?

Yes. Flair uses read-only methods to gather publicly available information. We do not perform any actions on your siteβ€”just passive data collection for synchronization purposes.
