## 1 · The research question

*"What's on the apartment market in Perth's CBD right now — how many
listings, and where does pricing start?"*

The best source is the portal itself. Portals block ordinary tools.

## 2 · The ordinary tool — zero bytes

Claude Code's native fetch refuses the domain outright (tested 8 Aug 2026;
other clients typically fail at the site's bot wall instead):

```
WebFetch("https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/property-unit+apartment-in-perth+cbd/list-1")

Error: Claude Code is unable to fetch from www.realestate.com.au
```

The question is unanswerable from here.

## 3 · The Search trace — same URL, full browser

```
fetch("https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/property-unit+apartment-in-perth+cbd/list-1")

## 5 · Measured improvement

- **Without Search:** 0 bytes. The tool refuses the domain; no answer exists.
- **With Search:** the full listing page as clean markdown. An independent
  timed probe of the same URL read it cold in **10.2 s** while the origin
  answered **HTTP 429** — the full browser rendered the real page anyway.
- Repeat reads within 24 hours are served from cache.

## 6 · Provenance

- **Client:** Claude Code over MCP (native `WebFetch` refusal captured the
  same minute)
- **10:12:58 UTC** — `fetch` (MCP) → `[via stealth]`, full page as markdown
- **10:14:29 UTC** — independent timed probe (REST) → origin **HTTP 429**,
  **21,318 chars** of clean text, **10.2 s** cold
- **Scope:** page 1 of 33 (25 of 803 listings); dated 8 Aug 2026
- Content is retained for 24 h in your workspace activity — the page as the
  agent received it.
