SS.LV Scraper

Scrape structured real estate listings from SS.LV — Latvia's largest classifieds platform. No API key required.

Features

• Scrapes all real estate categories: flats, houses, plots, offices, commercial, garages
• JSON-HTML extraction for images (via msg_img_dir/MAX_NAVI JS vars) and price (MSG_PRICE) — more reliable than CSS scraping
• Full-size image URL list built deterministically from embedded JS variables
• GPS coordinates parsed from gmap onclick href
• Language-agnostic tdo_ field IDs for structured property data (works across LV/RU page versions)
• Elevator detection from floor field (e.g. "5/9/lifts")
• Price per m² captured from list page
• Pagination handled automatically
• robots.txt compliant — /lv/ paths only (/en/ is disallowed)
• Deadline-aware exit prevents TIMED-OUT status

    { "url": "https://www.ss.lv/lv/real-estate/flats/riga/centre/sell/" }

Technical notes

JSON-HTML extraction

SS.LV has no public REST or GraphQL API. However, the detail page embeds key data as JavaScript variables rendered server-side:

var MSG_PRICE    = 134800.00;
var msg_img_dir  = "https://i.ss.lv" + "/images/2026-04-06/…/flats-riga-centre-2-";
var MAX_NAVI     = 24;
var IMG_SIZE     = 800;

Images are constructed as: msg_img_dir + N + "." + IMG_SIZE + ".jpg" for N = 1..MAX_NAVI. This is more reliable than scanning img src attributes.

GPS coordinates are extracted from the gmap onclick href:

?c=56.9305608, 24.1620358, 14

tdo_ field IDs

The options table uses language-agnostic numeric IDs (id="tdo_20"), making parsing robust across Latvian and Russian page variants:

tdo ID	Field
20	city
856	district
11	street
1	rooms
3	area
4	floor/totalFloors/hasElevator
6	series
2	houseType (propertyType)
1734	facilities

robots.txt compliance

• /en/ is fully disallowed — all requests use /lv/ paths
• Filter/sort URLs (/fDgSeF4*.html) are disallowed and never generated
• Standard crawl delays applied (1–3s Gaussian sleep between list pages, 0.6–1.6s between detail pages)
