idealista-scraper added to PyPI

idealista's addition of idealista-scraper to PyPI, a production web scraper for Idealista real estate listings, marks a significant development in the realm of real estate data extraction. This means that website owners, particularly those in the real estate sector, need to be aware of the potential increase in AI bot traffic to their sites. The idealista-scraper tool can be used to extract listings from Idealista, which may lead to a rise in scraping activities on their websites. As a result, website owners must ensure they have adequate measures in place to manage and track AI bot traffic, including the use of llms.txt files to specify which parts of their site are off-limits to scrapers. To mitigate potential issues, website owners can take the following actionable steps: firstly, monitor their website's traffic and adjust their llms.txt files to restrict access to sensitive areas, such as real estate listings. Secondly, implement robust tracking and analytics tools to identify and manage AI bot traffic. Lastly, review their content policies and ensure they are aligned with the potential increased scraping activities, to prevent unauthorized use of their data.
