How It Works
- County discovery — Scrapes the homepage to enumerate all available county links
- Listing scrape — For each county, fetches the listing page (plain GET, server-rendered HTML, no captcha)
- Detail enrichment (optional) — If
fetchDetails: true, fetches each listing's detail page for judgment amounts, APN, and attorney info
The SalesWeb platform refreshes county data every 30 minutes (9 AM–4 PM, Mon–Fri). Run weekly or daily to capture new listings and postponement changes.
Notes
- No proxy, captcha, or authentication required — the site is publicly accessible
- Detail pages (
fetchDetails: true) require the session cookie established by the listing page visit. Runs in Apify cloud handle this automatically via the session cookie jar. - Each county typically has 50–200 active listings. Essex County NJ has ~174 active at any time.
