Website addition requests

[wtfloris]

Hi,

If you'd like to suggest a website, please leave a comment on this issue.

Currently, the following websites have been suggested (here or elsewhere):

• eenhoornmanagement.nl
• 123wonen.nl
• makelaardijhoekstra.nl
• roofz.eu
• hurenbijwooove.nl
• vanderlinden.nl
• woonin.nl : see Add Woonin parser #62
• woonnetrijnmond.nl : see Add Woonnet Rijnmond parser #59
• hureninhollandrijnland.nl : see Add Hexia platform parser #60
• wooniezie.nl : see Add Hexia platform parser #60
• woninghuren.nl : see Add Hexia platform parser #60
• woonnet.nl : rejected, see Website addition requests #53 (comment)

If you're developing a parser for one of these, please leave a comment so others are aware and nobody does double work.

If you did some investigating into one of these and found it unviable to develop a parser, please leave a comment with your results.

Thanks!

I've mentioned this already on Reddit, but the woonnetrijnmond parser would need a bit of a refactor, as it requires 2 separate requests, whereas hestia at the moment only expects a single one

Since most websites include a map view of all available housing options, the viewer usually downloads a separate file with all POI's. This would hopefully include all required information to parse correctly.

In the case of Woonnet Rijnmond it was, so I quickly made a parser using this method in #59

[ventilaar]

woonnet.nl is just an ad ridden wrapper for huurwoningen.nl (which we don't have yet). We can especially skip woonnet.nl since they do not list house numbers ANYWHERE in the property listings.

Then there is huurwoningen.nl which seems to be a funda.nl like website. After crosschecking a dozen properties with each other, there seem to be a couple properties listed there which are not on funda.nl. But then again, am I blind or something or are there no house numbers listed on that website? Seriously why would you not list this Then for the properties which are listed on both websites, funda.nl does have house numbers.

p.s. woninghuren.nl is already included in the Hexia parser. The given list is complete! 😄

Thanks! Updated the original list.

I missed that woninghuren.nl was included with Hexia indeed, and I agree there seems to be little value in adding huurwoningen.nl. Aggregation sites are always later to list properties than the realtor websites. I added Funda because I wanted to have a bit of a catch-all, but lets not add others (especially if they don't have house numbers).

I have actually seen stuff be listed on huurwoningen.nl before the respective realtor. It's a pretty good aggregator overal and supports a lot more than Hestia (though I agree that supporting the various sites in Hestia directly would be better).

In any case, they don't list house numbers anywhere as far as I can tell, making it unsuitable for our purposes.
