How Towbook Scraper Works
1. Choose your mode: use the built-in list of 390+ known-good codes, supply your own profile codes, or enumerate the full base-62 code space for discovery.
2. The scraper hits each Towbook public profile page, parses the HTML, and extracts contact details. Invalid profiles are skipped silently.
3. Results come back as structured JSON with normalized addresses and formatted phone numbers.
