Some time ago I was looking for an apartment to buy. Sites in my country are bloated and terribly slow. Checking several offers took minutes. Moreover I live in a city where good offers are sold the same day they are published.

I decided to run scrapper to fetch all the data about available apartments in my city. Thanks to that I was able to browse offer at speed of tinder. It took me a few hours to write all the stuff, it saved me probably weeks.

To avoid getting caught I decided to setup TOR on my raspberry pi and use it as a proxy. It was extremely easy and reliable. Sites were so slow I didn't notice significant performance drop. I didn't care about changing proxies because TOR made it for me.

Except that it is good idea to change User-Agents and add some random delays between calls. Luckily for this case it was enough.
