'How can I perform web scraping in my Flutter app?

I have a Flutter app which I want to get the lot size for an input address from Redfin and use the data scraped in the app for a search process. Does anyone have any idea on how to go about this or share any resource that can help?



Solution 1:[1]

I believe that you should handle scraping tasks on the server-side. There are great wrappers for redfin in python for example one here. But if you want to handle scraping in flutter you will need http package to load redfin pages and html package to get specific dom elements. There is a good video tutorial by Johannes Milke.
