One major enhancement to the scraper would be to add pagination handling for gathering data across multiple pages. Trulia organizes property listings over several pages, and scraping only the first page limits the completeness of the data. By programmatically following the “Next” button and looping through all available pages, the scraper can collect a comprehensive dataset. Introducing delays between requests ensures that the scraper behaves more like a real user and reduces the risk of detection. This approach allows for a more thorough analysis of rental trends in the selected area.

To make the scraper more robust, adding error handling for missing or incomplete elements is essential. For instance, some hotels may not display ratings or prices, and failing to handle these cases could cause the script to crash. By checking for null or undefined values before attempting to extract data, the scraper can avoid runtime errors. Logging skipped items helps identify problem areas and refine the scraper. Regular updates to the script ensure compatibility with changes in Expedia’s page structure.
