}What it costs
About $0.075 for 5 results
An estimate: 5 × $0.015 per planning application (One saved planning application with all fields the council publishes). A run is charged for the events it reports, so one that finds fewer results costs less. Platform usage is included in the event price.
When to use this example
From the UK Planning Applications Scraper readme:
How many results can I get?
As many as match: set Max results to 0 for all. Large searches page through PlanIt until the end; very wide date windows are split automatically so PlanIt's 45-second query limit is not hit.
Why is a field empty?
Councils publish different fields. Agent company appears on about 30–40% of applications and agent address on about half, applicant names are not copied by PlanIt (open portalUrl for them), and some councils do not publish postcodes or dwelling counts.
