Installation

Required Python 3.9+

pip install lbc

Usage

Full documentation will be available soon.

Start with the examples to quickly understand how to use the library in real-world scenarios.

Client

To create client you need to use lbc.Client class

import lbc

client = lbc.Client()

Proxy

You can also configure the client to use a proxy by providing a Proxy object:

proxy = lbc.Proxy(
    host=...,
    port=...,
    username=...,
    password=...
)
client = lbc.Client(proxy=proxy)

Search

To perform a search, use the client.search method.

This function accepts keyword arguments (**kwargs) to customize your query. For example, if you're looking for houses that include both land and parking, you can specify:

real_estate_type=["3", "4"]

These values correspond to what you’d find in a typical Leboncoin URL, like:

https://www.leboncoin.fr/recherche?category=9&text=maison&...&real_estate_type=3,4

Here's a complete example of a search query:

client.search(
    text="maison",
    locations=[location],
    page=1,
    limit=35,
    limit_alu=0,
    sort=lbc.Sort.NEWEST,
    ad_type=lbc.AdType.OFFER,
    category=lbc.Category.IMMOBILIER,
    owner_type=lbc.OwnerType.ALL,
    search_in_title_only=True,
    square=[200, 400],
    price=[300_000, 700_000],
)

Alternatively

You can also perform search using a full Leboncoin URL:

client.search(
    url="https://www.leboncoin.fr/recherche?category=9&text=maison&locations=Paris__48.86023250788424_2.339006433295173_9256&square=100-200price=500000-1000000&rooms=1-6&bedrooms=3-6&outside_access=garden,terrace&orientation=south_west&owner_type=private",
    page=1,
    limit=35
)

If url is provided, it overrides other keyword parameters such as text, category, locations, etc. However, pagination parameters like page, limit, and limit_alu are still applied.

Location

The locations parameter accepts a list of one or more location objects. You can use one of the following:

• lbc.Region(...)
• lbc.Department(...)
• lbc.City(...)

Each one corresponds to a different level of geographic granularity.

City example

location = lbc.City(
    lat=48.85994982004764,
    lng=2.33801967847424,
    radius=10_000,  # in meters
    city="Paris"
)

Region / Department example

from lbc import Region, Department

region = Region.ILE_DE_FRANCE
department = Department.PARIS

403 Error

If you encounter a 403 Forbidden error, it usually means your requests are being blocked by Datadome. To resolve this:

• Try reducing the request frequency (add delays between requests).
• If you're using a proxy, make sure it is clean and preferably located in France.

Using residential or mobile proxies can also help avoid detection.
