Acquisition
- Upcoming index: https://ndr.nl/selectieproeven/
- Results archive: the year/month selector calls WordPress AJAX action
zoek_koersen. - Both indexes expose meeting IDs resolved through stable printable GET
/wp-content/plugins/ndr/ndr-print.php?action=do_search&koersdag=<id>&....
The no-argument launcher captures upcoming racecards; date arguments use monthly results discovery. FormCrawler stores whole raw meeting HTML and parses only meeting IDs, dates and links required for crawling.
Operation and verification
Run scripts\crawl_ndr_harness.bat for upcoming cards or scripts\crawl_ndr_harness.bat START_DATE END_DATE [TARGET_LIMIT_PER_DATE] for results. Eenrum meeting 120340 passed pre-race readiness at 24,719 bytes; Emmeloord 120339 passed post-race readiness at 35,292 bytes.
Other assets and breeding
NDR exposes programmes, calendars, downloads and official bulletins. Meeting data contains stable horse IDs/links; sire, dam, country and foal year were not all confirmed on a standalone public profile, so those fields remain documented as incomplete.
Changelog
