Canada Distressed Property Scraper

What Canada Distressed Property Scraper can do

• The whole list, not the first page. A province walk reads every open listing, not just the first screen. A full run returns all of Canada's open listings, over a thousand at the time of writing, and the run log states how many the portal reports.
• Tenders and auctions, told apart. Each record says whether it is a tender sale or an auction, and carries the right date: the tender deadline, or the auction day, time and place.
• What a buyer needs to decide. Minimum tender or reserve bid, assessed value, roll number, parcel identifier, legal description, where to submit a tender, the municipality's bidding conditions and the official notice link.
• Made for recurring monitoring. Resume an interrupted run from its ID, or let incremental mode return only NEW and UPDATED listings, with EXPIRED markers when a listing leaves the portal.
• Search by province or paste links. Walk whole provinces, or paste province, search and listing links.
• Honest by design. If the portal refuses every request the run fails with a clear message instead of an empty dataset that looks like "no results". A province with no open listings says so.
