It seems like this site is more EU based. Does anybody here know if there is an MLS equivalent in this jurisdiction and/or if similar copyright holders over there are as litigious?

There’s not an MLS equivalent in the UK, property data is quite fragmented.

We’re not looking to display anything an estate agent doesn’t want us to - agents tell us they’re very happy for us to serve as an advertising channel. And we’d immediately action any sort of take down request.

Then this might serve as an interesting opportunity for you to sell leads or direct them towards the info you’re scraping from.

Tho if it works as free advertisement on either side, that’s a win-win.

I was on the real state listing site side long time ago, we were trying to block scrapers from getting our data, at the en we loss, and now we pay them to send us users instead of paying Google ads because it’s cheaper. Fun times
