So much for automation. It Failed!
Well, that was a real bummer.
Today I used my own site, BayAreaSoldHomes.com, to check out the properties that are selling in my neighborhood, and there’s no data for this past week!
Ugh.
As it turns out, the San Francisco Chronicle never updated their information.
So, my automated process to update my data hummed along, and didn’t get any data because there wasn’t any. I suppose this is a lesson that I really do need better error handling. As it is, this script was thrown together just to get the automation started. And the funny thing is, I had just sat down tonight to fix it up some more.
The point is that there will be no more data until the Chronicle updates theirs.
