Monitor new records

Poll for records added since your last check and act on them automatically.

To act on new records as they appear, poll BuildData on a schedule and keep the IDs you have already seen. Sort by newest and stop once you hit a known record.

import requests

URL = "https://builddata-canadian-construction-data-api.p.rapidapi.com/zone"
HEADERS = {"x-rapidapi-host": "builddata-canadian-construction-data-api.p.rapidapi.com", "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY"}

seen = set()  # persist this between runs
r = requests.get(URL, headers=HEADERS, params={"limit": 100}).json()
for record in r.get("results", []):
    rid = record.get("record_id")
    if rid in seen:
        continue
    seen.add(rid)
    notify(record)  # email, Slack, CRM, ...

Run it on a cron (hourly or daily) and route new records to email, Slack, or your CRM.
