realestatebot

tool for ripping Australian real estate listings

summary

uses realestate-data to rip listings from realestate.com.au

this module has not been properly tested, and as such, deviating too far from the examples counts as misuse, and may cause unpredicatable behaviour

i made this for personal use, and i'm sharing it in case someone else finds it useful
