# Fredy 🏡 – Your Self-Hosted Real Estate Finder for Germany Finding an apartment or house in Germany can be stressful and time-consuming.\ **Fredy** makes it easier: it automatically scrapes **ImmoScout24, Immowelt, Immonet, eBay Kleinanzeigen, and WG-Gesucht** and notifies you instantly via **Slack, Telegram, Email, ntfy, discord and more** when new listings appear. With a modern architecture, Fredy provides a **clean Web UI**, removes duplicates across platforms, and stores results so you never see the same listing twice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## ✨ Key Features - 🏠 Scrapes **ImmoScout24, Immowelt, Immonet, eBay Kleinanzeigen, WG-Gesucht** - ⚡ Instant notifications: Slack, Telegram, Email (SendGrid, Mailjet), ntfy, discord - 🔎 Uses the **ImmoScout Mobile API** (reverse engineered) - 🌍 Runs anywhere: Docker, Node.js, self-hosted - 🖥️ Intuitive **Web UI** to manage searches - 🎯 Easy to use thanks to a user-friendly Web UI - 🔄 Deduplication across platforms - ⏱️ Customizable search intervals ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 🤝 Sponsorship [![](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=Sponsor&message=❤&logo=GitHub&color=%23fe8e86)](https://github.com/sponsors/orangecoding) I maintain Fredy and other open-source projects in my free time.\ If you find it useful, consider supporting the project 💙 Fredy is proudly backed by the **JetBrains Open Source Support Program**. Jetbrains Open Source ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 👨‍🏫 Demo You can try out Fredy here: [Fredy Demo](https://fredy-demo.orange-coding.net/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 🚀 Quick Start ### With Docker > [!NOTE] > In order to start Fredy, you must provide a config.json. As a start, use the one in this repo: https://github.com/orangecoding/fredy/blob/master/conf/config.json ``` bash docker run -d --name fredy \ -v fredy_conf:/conf \ -v fredy_db:/db \ -p 9998:9998 \ ghcr.io/orangecoding/fredy:master ``` Logs: ``` bash docker logs fredy -f ``` ### Manual (Node.js) - Requirement: **Node.js 22 or higher** - Install dependencies and start: ``` bash yarn yarn run start:backend # in one terminal yarn run start:frontend # in another terminal ``` 👉 Open **Default Login:** - Username: `admin` - Password: `admin` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 📸 Screenshots | Fredy Main Overview | Job Configuration | Found Listings | |--------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ![Screenshot showing Fredy](doc/screenshot1.png) | ![Screenshot showing job configuration in Fredy](doc/screenshot3.png) | ![Screenshot showing found listings in Fredy](doc/screenshot2.png) | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 🧩 Core Concepts Fredy is built around three simple concepts: ### Provider 🌐 A **provider** is a real-estate platform (e.g. ImmoScout24, Immowelt, Immonet, eBay Kleinanzeigen, WG-Gesucht).\ When you create a job, you paste the search URL from the platform into Fredy.\ ⚠️ Always make sure the search results are sorted by **date**, so Fredy picks up the newest listings first. ### Adapter 📡 An **adapter** is the channel through which Fredy notifies you (Slack, Telegram, Email, ntfy, discord ...).\ Each adapter has its own configuration (e.g. API keys, webhook URLs).\ You can use multiple adapters at once --- Fredy will send new listings through all of them. ### Job 📅 A **job** combines providers and adapters.\ Example: "Search apartments on ImmoScout24 + Immowelt and send results to Slack + Telegram."\ Jobs run automatically at the interval you configure (see `/conf/config.json`). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Immoscout Immoscout has implemented advanced bot detection. In order to work around this, we are using a reversed engineered version of their mobile api. See [Immoscout Reverse Engineering Documentation](https://github.com/orangecoding/fredy/blob/master/reverse-engineered-immoscout.md) ## Analytics Fredy is completely free (and will always remain free). However, it would be a huge help if you’d allow me to collect some analytical data. Before you freak out, let me explain... If you agree, Fredy will send a ping once every 6 hours to my internal tracking project (Will be open sourced soon). The data includes: names of active adapters/providers, OS, architecture, Node version, and language. The information is entirely anonymous and helps me understand which adapters/providers are most frequently used.

**Thanks**🤘 ## 🛠️ Development ### Development Mode ``` bash yarn run start:backend:dev yarn run start:frontend:dev ``` You should now be able to access _Fredy_ from your browser. Check your Terminal to see what port the frontend is running on. ### Run Tests ``` bash yarn run test ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 📐 Architecture ``` mermaid flowchart TD subgraph Jobs["Jobs"] A1["Job 1"] A2["Job 2"] A3["Job 3"] end subgraph Providers["Providers"] C1["Provider 1"] C2["Provider 2"] C3["Provider 3"] end subgraph NotificationAdapters["Notification Adapters"] F1["Adapter 1"] F2["Adapter 2"] end A1 --> B["FredyRuntime"] A2 --> B A3 --> B B --> C1 & C2 & C3 C1 --> D["Similarity Check"] C2 --> D C3 --> D D --> E{"Duplicate?"} E -- No --> F1 F1 --> F2 ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 👐 Contributing Thanks to everyone who has contributed!
