In Lausanne, Switzerland, it's very difficult to find an appartement because there are too few appartements for too many people and it mostly follows "First-come, first-served".
So I created scrappers for 3 websites + 1 facebook group. It simply looks for apartments with my specifications and notify me when a new one comes up.
I can say, I successfully found an apartment. The whole process usually takes at least 3 months, I did it in 1.

- xcubic 9y agoI do. I'm planning on going forward with it.
- darndt 9y agoI had the same problem to find an apartment in Zurich and started scraping several websites to automate the process. The tool is at https://www.immomapper.ch https://www.immomapper.ch perhaps you find it useful.
