WG-Gesucht Bot (Incomplete Due to CAPTCHA)

Overview

I developed a Python and Selenium bot to automate messaging new WG-Gesucht listings. The goal was to automate my search process to find an apartment.

Status

The project was not completed due to WG-Gesucht's reCAPTCHA system, which prevented full automation. Despite this, the project was a valuable experience in browser automation and handling dynamic content.

Key Features

• Selenium Automation: Automates interaction with WG-Gesucht.
• Full-Screen Mode: Chrome starts in fullscreen.
• Automatic Interaction: Clicks listings and attempts to send messages.
• Page Reloading: Reloads every 5 minutes to find new listings.

Challenges

• reCAPTCHA: Prevented full automation.
• Dynamic Content: Managed using Selenium’s explicit waits.
