⚠️ Notes & Limitations

• Demo / Placeholder Data – The current version uses simulated data for demonstration. A production version would implement actual HTML parsing of tender portal websites or API integration.
• Rate Limits – Government portals may restrict request frequency. Use residential proxies and delays.
• Compliance – Respect each portal’s robots.txt and terms of service.
• Data Scope – Currently returns one tender per URL; future versions will support multiple entries and pagination.
