Acquisition
The upcoming index is https://ndr.nl/selectieproeven/. Its year/month results selector calls WordPress AJAX action zoek_koersen; both indexes resolve meeting IDs through stable printable GET /wp-content/plugins/ndr/ndr-print.php?action=do_search&koersdag=<id>&.... Whole raw meeting HTML is stored.
Operation and verification
Run scripts\crawl_ndr_harness.bat for upcoming cards or add START_DATE END_DATE [TARGET_LIMIT_PER_DATE] for results. Eenrum 120340 passed pre-race readiness at 24,719 bytes; Emmeloord 120339 passed post-race readiness at 35,292 bytes. NDR also exposes programmes, calendars, downloads and bulletins. Meeting horse IDs/links exist, but complete sire/dam/country/foal-year profile fields remain unconfirmed.
Changelog
