Case Study: User Profile Data Extraction from Jeevansathi
The Challenge
Our client, a matchmaking analytics and marketing firm, needed access to user profile data from Jeevansathi, including attributes like age, gender, profession, education, location, and community background. Manual browsing was inefficient and limited their ability to perform large-scale trend analysis and matchmaking insights.
Hurdles We Faced
- Login & Access Restriction: Jeevansathi requires user authentication to view complete profiles.
- Dynamic Content Loading: Profiles and filters are rendered dynamically via JavaScript.
- Anti-Bot Protections: Frequent scraping attempts triggered rate limits and CAPTCHA challenges.
- Profile Data Variation: Different sections (bio, preferences, education, family details) required adaptive parsing.
