Reonomy Scraper Update - Completion Report

Status: ✅ SUCCESS

The Reonomy scraper has been successfully updated to extract email and phone numbers from property and owner detail pages.

What Was Changed

1. New Functions Added

extractPropertyContactInfo(page, propertyUrl)

  • Visits each property detail page
  • Extracts email using multiple selectors (mailto links, data attributes, regex)
  • Extracts phone using multiple selectors (tel links, data attributes, regex)
  • Returns: { email, phone, ownerName, propertyAddress, city, state, zip, propertyType, squareFootage }

extractOwnerContactInfo(page, ownerUrl)

  • Visits each owner detail page
  • Extracts email using multiple selectors (mailto links, data attributes, regex)
  • Extracts phone using multiple selectors (tel links, data attributes, regex)
  • Returns: { email, phone, ownerName, ownerLocation, propertyCount }

extractLinksFromPage(page)

  • Scans the current page for property and owner links
  • Extracts IDs from URLs and reconstructs full Reonomy URLs
  • Removes duplicate URLs
  • Returns: { propertyLinks: [], ownerLinks: [] }

2. Configuration Options

MAX_PROPERTIES = 20;     // Limit properties scraped (rate limiting)
MAX_OWNERS = 20;         // Limit owners scraped (rate limiting)
PAGE_DELAY_MS = 3000;    // 3-second delay between page visits

3. Updated Scraper Flow

Before:

  1. Login
  2. Search
  3. Extract data from search results page only
  4. Save leads (email/phone empty)

After:

  1. Login
  2. Search
  3. Extract all property and owner links from results page
  4. NEW: Visit each property page → extract email/phone
  5. NEW: Visit each owner page → extract email/phone
  6. Save leads (email/phone populated)

4. Contact Extraction Strategy

The scraper uses a multi-layered approach for extracting email and phone:

Layer 1: CSS Selectors

  • Email: a[href^="mailto:"], [data-test*="email"], .email, .owner-email
  • Phone: a[href^="tel:"], [data-test*="phone"], .phone, .owner-phone

Layer 2: Regex Pattern Matching

  • Email: /[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}/g
  • Phone: /(\(?(\d{3})\)?[-.\s]?(\d{3})[-.\s]?(\d{4}))/g

Layer 3: Text Analysis

  • Searches entire page body for email and phone patterns
  • Handles various phone formats (with/without parentheses, dashes, spaces)
  • Validates email format before returning

How to Test

The scraper requires Reonomy credentials to run. Choose one of these methods:

Option 1: With 1Password

cd /Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/workspace
./scrape-reonomy.sh --1password --location "New York, NY"

Option 2: Interactive Prompt

cd /Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/workspace
./scrape-reonomy.sh --location "New York, NY"
# You'll be prompted for email and password

Option 3: Environment Variables

cd /Users/jakeshore/.clawdbot/workspace
export REONOMY_EMAIL="your@email.com"
export REONOMY_PASSWORD="yourpassword"
export REONOMY_LOCATION="New York, NY"
node reonomy-scraper.js

Option 4: Headless Mode

HEADLESS=true REONOMY_EMAIL="your@email.com" REONOMY_PASSWORD="yourpassword" node reonomy-scraper.js

Option 5: Save to JSON (No Google Sheets)

# If gog CLI is not set up, it will save to reonomy-leads.json
REONOMY_EMAIL="your@email.com" REONOMY_PASSWORD="yourpassword" node reonomy-scraper.js

Expected Behavior When Running

You should see logs like:

📍 Step 5: Extracting contact info from property pages...

[1/10]
  🏠 Visiting property: https://app.reonomy.com/#!/property/xxx-xxx-xxx
    📧 Email: owner@example.com
    📞 Phone: (555) 123-4567

[2/10]
  🏠 Visiting property: https://app.reonomy.com/#!/property/yyy-yyy-yyy
    📧 Email: Not found
    📞 Phone: Not found

📍 Step 6: Extracting contact info from owner pages...

[1/5]
  👤 Visiting owner: https://app.reonomy.com/#!/person/zzz-zzz-zzz
    📧 Email: another@example.com
    📞 Phone: (555) 987-6543

✅ Found 15 total leads

The final output will have populated email and phone fields instead of empty strings.

Rate Limiting

The scraper includes built-in rate limiting to avoid being blocked by Reonomy:

  • 3-second delay between page visits (PAGE_DELAY_MS = 3000)
  • 0.5-second delay between saving records
  • Limits on properties/owners scraped (20 each by default)

You can adjust these limits in the code if needed:

const MAX_PROPERTIES = 20;     // Increase/decrease as needed
const MAX_OWNERS = 20;         // Increase/decrease as needed
const PAGE_DELAY_MS = 3000;    // Increase if getting rate-limited

Troubleshooting

Email/Phone Still Empty

  • Not all Reonomy listings have contact information
  • Contact info may be behind a paywall or require higher access
  • The data may be loaded dynamically with different selectors

To investigate, you can:

  1. Run the scraper with the browser visible (HEADLESS=false)
  2. Check the screenshots saved to /tmp/
  3. Review the log file reonomy-scraper.log

Rate Limiting Errors

  • Increase PAGE_DELAY_MS (try 5000 or 10000)
  • Decrease MAX_PROPERTIES and MAX_OWNERS (try 10 or 5)
  • Run the scraper in smaller batches

No Leads Found

  • The page structure may have changed
  • Check the screenshot at /tmp/reonomy-no-leads.png
  • Review the log for extraction errors

What to Expect

After running the scraper with your credentials:

  1. Email and phone fields will be populated (where available)
  2. Property and owner URLs will be included for reference
  3. Rate limiting will prevent blocking with 3-second delays
  4. Progress will be logged for each page visited
  5. Errors won't stop the scraper - it continues even if individual page extraction fails

Next Steps

  1. Run the scraper with your Reonomy credentials
  2. Verify that email and phone fields are now populated
  3. Check the quality of extracted data
  4. Adjust limits/delays if you encounter rate limiting
  5. Review and refine extraction patterns if needed

Documentation

  • Full update details: REONOMY-SCRAPER-UPDATE.md
  • Validation script: ./test-reonomy-scraper.sh
  • Log file: reonomy-scraper.log (created after running)
  • Output: reonomy-leads.json or Google Sheet

Gimme Options

If you'd like to discuss next steps or adjustments:

  1. Test run - I can help you run the scraper with credentials
  2. Adjust limits - I can modify MAX_PROPERTIES, MAX_OWNERS, or PAGE_DELAY_MS
  3. Add more extraction patterns - I can add additional selectors/regex patterns
  4. Debug specific issues - I can help investigate why certain data isn't being extracted
  5. Export to different format - I can modify the output format (CSV, etc.)
  6. Schedule automated runs - I can set up a cron job to run the scraper periodically

Just let me know which option you'd like to explore!
