# JSON output for machine processing
python3 scripts/immoscout24-search.py --region /de/bayern/passau-kreis --type apartmentbuy --max-price 300000 --format json
```

### Get expose details (heating, energy, parking)

```bash
python3 scripts/immoscout24-search.py --expose 166875438

## Typical Workflow for Property Reports

1. **Search** multiple regions and types:
```bash
python3 scripts/immoscout24-search.py --region /de/bayern/passau-kreis --type apartmentbuy --max-price 300000 --min-rooms 2 --format json > /tmp/is24-apt.json
python3 scripts/immoscout24-search.py --region /de/bayern/passau-kreis --type housebuy --max-price 350000 --format json > /tmp/is24-house.json
```

2. **Get expose details** for interesting listings to check heating type:
```bash
python3 scripts/immoscout24-search.py --expose 166875438 --format json
```

3. **Filter** based on heating, condition, energy rating, parking.

4. **Compile report** with URLs, prices, heating info, and location details.

## Notes

- Uses IS24 mobile API (`api.mobile.immobilienscout24.de`) — no browser or authentication needed
- Rate limiting is lenient but don't hammer it — add small delays between expose lookups
- Listing URLs follow pattern: `https://www.immobilienscout24.de/expose/{id}`
- Search returns: id, title, price, area, rooms, address, postcode, published date
- Expose returns: full details including heating, energy, parking, condition, year built
