go-rightmove

Implements a very basic scraper to read property details from RightMove.

This package extracts and unmarshals the JSON object that can be found at the bottom of a RightMove search page.

Usage

1. Go to rightmove.co.uk and search for whatever type of properties you're interested in
2. Add your required filters to the search
3. Execute the search and copy the URL of the first results page (e.g. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?searchType=SALE&locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490&maxPrice=200000)
4. Call the GetPropertiesFromSearchURL function with the search URL

     ctx := context.Background()
     searchURL := "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?searchType=SALE&locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490&maxPrice=200000"
     properties, err := rightmove.GetPropertiesFromSearchURL(ctx, searchURL)
     if err != nil {
       log.Fatalln(err)
     }
   
     fmt.Printf("Retrieved %d properties from RightMove\n", len(properties))
     // Output: Retrieved 817 properties from RightMove

5. Process the resulting slice as necessary
