Important!
By scraping data from Airbnb's website, you are automating something that isn't meant to be automated. Scraping features like extracting detailed data from a single property's listing page is meant to be used ethically and scraping publicly available data from sites like Airbnb is legally complex and is disallowed by their terms of service. This extension is designed in a way to minimize spamming Airbnb's servers but there is always a risk of getting your IP address blocked which will prevent you from accessing the website.
As a result, you may lose access to the website. The mitigate this, the extension has built in variation in the time delay and waits a suitable amount of time before navigating to the next page. The same has been implemented for auto-navigating the search result pagination. This should minimize risk when extracting data from Airbnb's website and allow you to use the website normally afterward. However, there is no guarantee. Please use at your own risk. Use of this extension means you agree to the Terms and Conditions.
