Things the next person would otherwise rediscover:

• Accept-Language: * returns HTTP 500 on every GePNIC portal. Node’s fetch sends that header by default, so a laptop smoke test fails while curl works. The pack sends en-IN.
• Keyword search is captcha-gated on GePNIC (FrontEndAdvancedSearch, FrontEndLatestActiveTenders) and on CPPP. The captcha-free route is “Tenders by Organisation”: the organisation list, then one page per organisation with all its active tenders. The pack filters keywords over those pages.
• The per-organisation links are session-bound (session=T). Without the JSESSIONID cookie from the organisation-list response they return a 1.4 KB stale-session page. Every call opens its own session.
• Rows contain a commented-out <td>. Strip HTML comments before splitting cells, or every column after the title shifts by one.
• Military Engineer Services lists about 4,000 tenders on one 8.6 MB page (mostly a serialized page-state field) and takes 30 to 60 seconds. Organisations with 1,000 or more active tenders are opt-in: name them in organisation or pass include_large_orgs: true.
• etenders.gov.in is intermittently slow (3 s on one request, a 30 s timeout on the next). The defence tool gives the secondary portals a 15 s budget and reports portal_errors rather than failing.
• GeM itself (bidplus.gem.gov.in) and mod.gov.in refused connections from outside India in testing on 2026-10-04. GeM coverage comes from the CPPP gemdata feed instead.
• CPPP pagination wraps the target URL in base64 under ?url=; the inner page=N is the 1-based page shown to users. A bare ?page=N is ignored and returns page 1.
