Posting a parcel id from a selected feature to a tax assessment website to get sales data.
I am just curious but is there a way to possibly format the URL for a feature hyperlink to post data to a form on another website in order to retrieve information about that selected feature? The scenario I am dealing with is a user clicks a parcel on my site and then has the option to go to the Tax Assessor's website from a hyperlink. The problem is that the link just takes them to the site and they have to retype the parcel number into a form on that site in order to get the sales info that they need. I can dynamically insert the parcel id into the feature hyperlink, but I have no idea if it is even possible to format the URL to make a request to that website that will post the parcel id into the form for the user. I don't know if this is something that is better suited for a workflow or a data link but I am just curious as to if a web request of this nature can even be made handled through a dynamic feature hyperlink.

I'm curious to see if anyone has a solution for this as well. Assessements in my area are done by the state government and they maintain the website used to retrieve those records. Historically, we could always contruct a url to link directly to a specific property detail page (bypassing the online form) but they have frequently been 'breaking' this ability on their backend and requiring all traffic to their records to go through the online form.
Just to be clear, is it not possible for you to contruct a url to get directly to a property detail page in your system?

It looks like the Assessor's site was developed with ASP.NET and I don't think there is a way to bypass the form to get to the property detail page or "Appraisal Card" in this case. Take a look at the first snap shot. The user enters the parcel id or "PIN" to search for the parcel in their database. However, the second snap shot shows that the URL for the Appraisal Card that gets returned has nothing to do with the identifier for the parcel. I have been able to bypass certain forms on other sites before because the dynamic parts of the URL matched the attributes of my feature and I could create feature hyperlinks that would take you direclty to that record for the selected parcel, but not for this instance. The URL that get returned for the Appraisal Card file is http://taxassessor.cherokeega.com/taxnet/AppraisalCard.aspx?Page=1&idP=5489668&idB=0&PageCount=1&OBXFPaging=False&OBXFStartRow=0&OBXFEndRow=0 and no where in that URL is the parcel identifier. I know it will take some work, but I was thinking I could build a workflow to post the identifier into the correct field on the form in order to return that Appraisal Card file. Unfortunately I am a novice developer and I don't even know where to begin.

do you know if any field value of the Parcel is associated with the idP query string key on http://taxassessor.cherokeega.com/taxnet/AppraisalCard.aspx?Page=1&idP=5489668&idB=1&PageCount=1&OBXFPaging=False&OBXFStartRow=0&OBXFEndRow=0? If you find any from the Parcel, you can configure the Hyperlink on the Parcels' feature description like http://taxassessor.cherokeega.com/taxnet/AppraisalCard.aspx?Page=1&idP={PARCELFIELDNAME}&idB=1&PageCount=1&OBXFPaging=False&OBXFStartRow=0&OBXFEndRow=0, where PARCELFIELDNAME is the field name of the parcel which is dynamically replaced and construct the url. Since I don't know what other QUeryString Keys are used on AppraisalCard.aspx and don't know about the Response from that aspx is correct or not, you should check the output is what you wanted to have. It looks like when you pass different 'idP' value, a new output comes out. 0 -
Unfortunately, we don't have the idP in our parcel feature at all. I am trying to have a meeting with the Tax Assessor's to get thier data to relate to ours but things are slow moving and they keep stalling out on me. That's why I am trying to just bypass them all together but I don't know if that is going to work.

I want to make clear my point. Is there any field value (or combination of fields values) on the Parcel feature to return '5489668' which is a value of idP? 0 -
No im sorry to say that there isn't.

Bob, We are on stuck since http://taxassessor.cherokeega.com/taxnet/AppraisalCard.aspx does not seem take any form values related with Parcel's feature information now. When a user put the search criteria like PIN on http://taxassessor.cherokeega.com/taxnet/RealEstate.aspx that PIN looks like stored on the web server, and used to create HTML appraisal report by http://taxassessor.cherokeega.com/taxnet/AppraisalCard.aspx too bad! 0
