- Technical barriers (recaptcha) that deter casual bulk access
Room to grow
- Expanding the robots.txt file to disallow automated scrapers
What to ask for
Building on the protections already in place, you might consider a property-owner notification system (like the ones AZ, FL, HI, IL, and UT have implemented) and a formal data-governance policy that addresses commercial data aggregators.
