Python version >= 3.9 required

Usage

Python

from homeharvest import scrape_property

properties = scrape_property(
    location="San Diego, CA",
    listing_type="sold",  # for_sale, for_rent, pending
    past_days=30
)

properties.to_csv("results.csv", index=False)
print(f"Found {len(properties)} properties")

Flexible Location Formats

# Accepts: zip code, city, "city, state", full address, etc.
properties = scrape_property(
    location="San Diego, CA",  # or "92104", "San Diego", "1234 Main St, San Diego, CA 92104"
    radius=5.0  # Optional: search within radius (miles) of address
)

Advanced Filtering Examples

Time-Based Filtering

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Filter by hours or use datetime/timedelta objects
properties = scrape_property(
    location="Austin, TX",
    listing_type="for_sale",
    past_hours=24,  # or timedelta(hours=24) for Pythonic approach
    # date_from=datetime.now() - timedelta(days=7),  # Alternative: datetime objects
    # date_to=datetime.now(),  # Automatic hour precision detection
)

Property Filters

# Combine any filters: beds, baths, sqft, price, lot_sqft, year_built
properties = scrape_property(
    location="San Francisco, CA",
    listing_type="for_sale",
    beds_min=3, beds_max=5,
    baths_min=2.0,
    sqft_min=1500, sqft_max=3000,
    price_min=300000, price_max=800000,
    year_built_min=2000,
    lot_sqft_min=5000
)

Sorting & Listing Types

# Sort options: list_price, list_date, sqft, beds, baths, last_update_date
# Listing types: "for_sale", "for_rent", "sold", "pending", list, or None (all)
properties = scrape_property(
    location="Miami, FL",
    listing_type=["for_sale", "pending"],  # Single string, list, or None
    sort_by="list_price",  # Sort field
    sort_direction="asc",  # "asc" or "desc"
    limit=100
)

Using Pydantic Models

from homeharvest import scrape_property

properties = scrape_property(
    location="San Diego, CA",
    listing_type="for_sale",
    return_type="pydantic"  # Returns list of Property models
)

# Access model fields with full type hints and validation
for prop in properties[:5]:
    print(f"Address: {prop.address.formatted_address}")
    print(f"Price: ${prop.list_price:,}")
    if prop.description:
        print(f"Beds: {prop.description.beds}, Baths: {prop.description.baths_full}")
