A group project @ BeCode.org as part of the AI Bootcamp in Gent
This is the first stage of a larger project to create a Machine Learning (ML) model to predict sell prices of real estate properties in Belgium.
The current task is to gather actual data (at least 10,000 entries) from the Belgian real estate market. This data will be used to train and test ML prediction model.
The dataset delivered as a csv file and covers the following subjects:
- ID number
- Source URL
- Price
- Property type
- Locality and address (if available)
- Number of bedrooms
- Livable surface
- Building information (construction year, facade count, floor count, etc.)
- Property condition
- Kitchen type
- Garden and its surface (if any)
- Terace and its surface (if any)
- The surface of land (for houses)
- Availability of some extras:
- Open fire
- Swimming pool
- Airconditioner
- Available facilities:
- Number of bathrooms, showers, and/or toilets
- Number of parking spaces
- Energy consumption information
- Sale type
The Python-based tool uses ImmoWeb website, the leading real estate website in Belgium, to scrape the required information and stores it in a dictionary format and later is written as a csv file.
- Clone ImmoEliza-DataScraper repository
- Change directory to the root of the repository
- Install required libraries by running
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Execute the script by running the command
python main.pyin the terminal. - This will scrape the property information from ImmoWeb and store it in
datadirectory in bothjsonandcsvformats.
This stage of the project lasted 4 days in the week of June 26-30, 2023.
The stage was made by group of Junior AI & Data Scientists (in alphabetical order):
