How to get US Building Permit Portal Finder

Resolve US cities to official building-permit portal URLs and platform family (Accela, EnerGov, Socrata, ArcGIS, custom). aca-prod.accela.com is one page of it. A run reads that public list and saves one row per result.

One row per result

A row has Jurisdiction, Portal family, Portal URL, Search URL. The columns are listed in the schema on this page.

New rows from that site

Each run reads aca-prod.accela.com again. Put it on a schedule and the next file is the latest rows from that site.
