Architecture

JSON-HTML — HTTP-only via got-scraping + Cheerio. Pararius is a server-side-rendered PHP (Symfony) application with no accessible REST or GraphQL API for listings. The map view uses Mapbox Vector Tiles (binary MVT), not JSON. Rich structured data is extracted from:

1. Search pages — precise CSS selectors on listing cards (UUID, URL, title, price, surface, label, thumbnail)
2. Detail pages — application/ld+json (House/Product schema with address, geo, price, rooms) + DT/DD kenmerken table (30+ property specs) + agent summary section
