Retrieve
POST form-encoded data with search=1 to the relevant endpoint. Permit filters include permit_nr, owner_name, object_name, permit_type, permit_status, issue/validity date ranges, well_number, and location/activity fields. Application filters include applicant, application_type, permit_nr, proceeding_nr, proceeding_public_status, and registration dates. Document filters include document_number, external_number, document_type, title, keyword, sender/recipient, publication level, and registration dates.
Permit results are server-rendered rows with links to /permits/public_view?...&permit_id={id}. Page with qs in increments of 20 while preserving the filters. The result footer states the current page and total record count. On a permit, use the registration/detail, documents, and assignments tabs rather than treating the list row as complete.
Return
- Preserve permit/application/proceeding/document identifiers, holder or applicant, object and location, type, status, relevant dates, detail/document URLs, query, total, and retrieval time.
- Keep application, proceeding, permit, and document records as separate record types.
Limits
- This is HTML extraction, not a public JSON API. Estonian labels and form fields may change.
- A permit number can appear in several lifecycle/version rows; do not deduplicate without retaining internal
permit_id and status dates.
- Some files or fields may be restricted even when the public register row is visible.
Verify
- Require a focused POST search to return a positive
Kokku ... kirjet count and /permits/public_view?...permit_id= links.
- Require a selected detail page to expose status plus registration, documents, and assignments tabs.
