Using a combination of browser automation and API requests after login speeds up scraping, as I don’t need the browser for every request.

For content behind redirects, I find it helpful to pause briefly before and after each redirection. This mimics natural browsing and helps avoid detection.

Exponential backoff is a good strategy for handling temporary limits. I gradually increase wait times between requests until they’re accepted again.

Zillow’s API provides data on properties, prices, and neighborhood statistics, which I use to access structured information for real estate analysis.
