Mortgage Rate Lookup
Multi-lender mortgage rate comparison tool. Scrapes real rates from 13 lenders + 2 national benchmarks (Freddie Mac PMMS, Mortgage News Daily), ranks them lowest to highest, and tracks day-over-day changes.
What It Does
- Scrapes 13 lenders via patchright stealth browser (headless Chromium)
- Pulls Freddie Mac PMMS via direct CSV API (no browser)
- Pulls Mortgage News Daily via urllib (no browser)
- Compares 30yr fixed, 15yr fixed, ARM, FHA, VA products
- Ranks by lowest rate with APR
- Tracks 90-day rolling history for day-over-day change detection
- Outputs clean text report to stdout (pipe to Discord/Slack/email)

Two-tier fetching
- Tier 1 — Direct APIs (no browser): Freddie Mac CSV + MND HTML via urllib. Fastest.
- Tier 2 — Stealth browser: 13 lenders via patchright. Parallel batches of 4, sequential retry on failure.
Retry logic
- Batches of 4 lenders in parallel
- Failed lenders retry sequentially (up to 3 attempts)
- Wait schedule: 8s → 12s → 15s
Rate extraction
Regex patterns find rate/APR pairs for each product type. Rates validated between 3.0% and 12.0%.
