#### 🎉 Flatmates.com.au Scraper — Launch!

- **Search Any Suburb, City or Campus** — Find Australian share accommodation by suburb, city, university, transit stop or postcode across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and beyond
- **Full Listing Detail on Demand** — Pull room specs, bond, bills, household make-up, GPS coordinates, images and lister info per listing, or enrich every search result with `enrichDetail`
- **Parsed Weekly Rent** — Every row carries a clean AUD `rentWeekly` number alongside the raw rent text, ready for sorting, averaging and pricing models
- **Rich Server-Side Filters** — Weekly budget band, property type, room type, furnishing, bills-included, bedrooms, keywords and person age range applied at the source
- **Multiple Ways In** — Search by location, widen to surrounding suburbs, run a Flatmates.com.au results URL, pull a member's full inventory, or resolve a place with autocomplete
