Earliest possible auction date for a new listing
get_publication_constraintsCheck how soon an auction can start after publishing a lot. Enter the selling method to get the earliest allowed auction date and notice period for planning.
Instructions
Seller-side planning: if a lot is published today, how soon may the auction itself run.
WHEN TO USE: the user is preparing to list something and needs to plan dates — "how far ahead do I need to publish", "what is the minimum notice period", "can we hold the auction before the 20th". This is the only forward-looking tool here; everything else describes auctions that already exist.
KEY PARAMETERS
procedure_type (required): a selling method such as "smallPrivatization-english". A family name such as "smallPrivatization" is also accepted and every format it supports is checked at once, which is useful for comparing notice periods before choosing a format.
EXAMPLE — notice period for one format: {"procedure_type":"landRental-english"}
EXAMPLE — compare every format of a programme: {"procedure_type":"smallPrivatization"}
RETURNS: per selling method, earliestAuctionStart (the soonest auctionPeriod.startDate the platform would accept for a procedure published now) and noticeDays, that gap in days. The value is computed live and moves with the calendar, so it is not cached.
