Getting Airbnb property owners contact data for business
Category: Airbnb,Data Extraction,Link & Grow,Networks,Tutorial Author: dreadpixel Date: 4 years ago Comments: 0

Airbnb has been affected by the pandemic, many owners have stopped getting customers and visitors and this might be a great opportunity for many real estate agents or investors. That’s a fact, from every crisis, many big corporations have born along with history.

Having contact data such as Listing URL, Email, Phone and Description from property owners or people listing their homes is something ideal for doing some cold calling or approach to them for different kind of offers.

Here you have an example on how you can get the data that I offer you for testing:

But like an old proverb says ” if you give a man a fish he is hungry again in an hour. If you teach him to catch a fish you do him a good turn.” So I am going to teach you how to get this data:

1.- Identify the important keywords to scan. If you are looking for houses just remain with that keyword plus other details like: 2 floors house, entire house, house + 2 floors, house + bedroom, etc. Try thinking all alternations to get plenty of data.
NOTE: they wont repeat since if it is the same URL it wont get stored in the database.

2.- Identify the locations for them, for example: New York + United States. Make sure to add the country since if you search only for New York, remember there are streets in other countries named after New York.

3.- Now, mix the keyword and the places such as:
2 floors house + New York + United States
entire house + New York + United States
house + 2 floors + New York + United States
house + bedroom + New York + United States

4.- Finally, make sure to set a custom domain and type:
airbnb.com/rooms
Then just click RUN and see the magic happen 🙂


Scrape business Emails and Phones from LinkedIn Profiles
Category: Data Extraction,Link & Grow,LinkedIn,Tutorial Author: dreadpixel Date: 4 years ago Comments: 0

Many have requested about getting business emails instead of free email patterns such as @gmail.com, @hotmail.co.uk, @yahoo.com, etc. So they want emails from business domains like alan.tu@turingtech.com or such, where you dont have all those anti-SPAM filters, or where you can get more information about that lead visiting their business domain.

This is totally doable using Google commands and booleans properly, we will cover step by step how to do this in this video:

So, remember you have to use the:
custom_pattern option in order to activate option contact_patterns on the Config tab.

This is the boolean as you have to put it:
site:linkedin.com/in + “Email me at:” OR “Email me” OR “Send me an email” OR “Contact me at”

So the important thing here is that you know you will be adding Keywords on the Leads tab, so you can input line by line several keyword combinations that will combine with the contact_patterns option, which if you put a comma and input another pattern, you will be multiplying all search x2. And if you input a third pattern separated by a comma, you will be multiplying by 3x. This means you will find more patterns using Google search commands.

You can do the experiment adding this instead of the first contact pattern that uses OR boolean:
site:linkedin.com/in + “Email me at:”, site:linkedin.com/in + “Email me”, site:linkedin.com/in + “Send me an email”, site:linkedin.com/in + “Contact me at”

This means you are setting Four(4) different searches, which if you input 4 Keywords on your leads tab, you will create 8 different combinations that will result in a possible 16 x 500 = 8,000 possible leads.

Go ahead an experiment using ScraperAPI, you will get about 80 requests on that experiment if you have google_deepness = 5, but don’t worry, ScraperAPI offers you 5,000 free requests.


By-passing Google limitations when scraping thanks to ScraperAPI
Category: Data Extraction,Google,Link & Grow,Proxies,Tutorial Author: dreadpixel Date: 4 years ago Comments: 0

Many users have emailed me saying they are not getting results when scraping Google, even when they added private proxies or backconnect proxies to the list in Accounts Tab. But let me tell you something, Google limits you constantly with CAPTCHAs, so you have 2 options, changing IPs or solving CAPTCHAs with an API but those two options will consume your time to manually switch the VPN to new account. I even tried with some backconnect proxies that most of their IPs were limited by Google.

Here is a very reliable solution I found: ScraperAPI.com  

It is totally a lifesaver and it offers you 5,000 FOR FREE! You will only have to set up your API key on the Config tab and turn on the usage on the option. Here is a video explaining step by step how to do this:

If you have any questions, please leave a comment in this post so I can keep track of support and help other users with the same questions.


How to configure Data Extractor to scrape Foursquare full info on Link&Grow

So you want to get deeper into getting another type of leads. You want to grab probably some fields that are not included in other networks like number of reviews, or address, phone number, etc.

In this tutorial, we will see how to detect the URL pattern so we detect which is the precise endpoint for individual listings so we can use it on the search. Then, go step by step finding XPaths using Chrome Inspector and pasting when creating a new custom domain on the Data Extractor tab.
Here is the video showing step by step:

As you can see, we are not using foursquare.com plain domain cause that is wider, we will have to use the profile endpoint which in this case is foursquare.com/v which might probably change in some months, or probably won’t.
What we want you to know is that you learn to search so you can adapt to any network and monetize this system for your ROI.
