Case Study: Property & Land Record Data Scraping from MGCM Maharashtra
The Challenge
Our client, a real estate intelligence and legal tech company, needed to extract property and land record data from the MGCM (Maharashtra Government Corporation Municipal) portal. The goal was to collect ownership details, property tax data, and assessment records for analytics and due diligence. Manual data lookup was slow and error-prone due to the portal’s layered search forms and location-wise segmentation.
Hurdles We Faced
- Captcha & Session Validation: The MGCM portal required CAPTCHA-solving and session renewal for every search.
- Complex Search Parameters: Data was accessible only through multiple dropdowns like ward, property number, and location.
- Dynamic Data Display: Property details were loaded dynamically after search submissions.
- Access Limits: Frequent queries triggered temporary blocking or session expirations.
Our Step-by-Step Approach
Requirement Analysis:
Defined the exact data points – property ID, owner name, location, area, tax details, and assessment history.
Captcha & Session Management:
Integrated automated CAPTCHA solvers and session persistence to maintain stable search sessions.
Custom Scraper Development:
Built a Python-based automation tool using Selenium to navigate through search forms, retrieve property details, and extract all visible data fields.
Proxy & Rate Control:
Deployed rotating proxies and request throttling to distribute load and prevent IP blocking.
Data Cleaning & Structuring:
Standardized extracted data into structured Excel/Database formats for easy analysis and storage.
Automation & Scheduling:
Configured scheduled scripts to run daily, updating the property records database automatically.
Results & Impact
- Automated collection of thousands of property and land records from the MGCM Maharashtra portal.
- Reduced manual search efforts and data collection time by over 90%.
- Delivered accurate, structured datasets for real estate research and compliance checks.
