Fetching via web_fetch
Direct fetching is typically blocked (429 rate limit / anti-bot).
Workaround — use DDG site search:
web_fetch(url="https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=site%3Arealestate.com.au+malvern+vic+3144+house+3+bedroom&kl=au-en", extractMode="text", maxChars=8000)
This returns REA listing URLs and basic descriptions.
Limitations
web_fetch on REA pages usually returns 429 (rate limited)- Anti-bot: TLS fingerprinting, geo-blocking from non-AU IPs
- For browsing results, construct the URL and open in browser
- DDG site search workaround provides URLs but not full listing data
