Tyler Technologies Data Export Automation: API Alternative for Court Case Management and Property Tax Administration

Introduction

Tyler Technologies is a comprehensive government software platform used by courts, municipalities, and government agencies to manage court cases, e-filing, property tax assessments, billing, and revenue reporting. While Tyler Technologies provides web-based court management and property tax administration tools, the platform has limited or restricted API access for most government users. Browser automation provides a reliable solution to automate court case management and e-filing, sync property tax assessments with billing systems, export case and revenue reports, and manage court and tax data directly through the Tyler Technologies web interface, enabling streamlined government operations and compliance.

• Error Handling: Implement comprehensive retry logic for transient failures, network issues, and temporary system unavailability
• Compliance: Ensure data handling meets court administration laws, tax regulations, and platform terms of service
• Data Privacy: Follow proper data privacy protocols when handling court records and property tax information
• Audit Trail: Maintain detailed logs of all automated actions for compliance and accountability
• Session Management: Handle session timeouts gracefully and implement automatic re-authentication for long-running workflows
