Fetch LifeWise School Name Search JSON

Purpose

Fetch the raw JSON returned by LifeWise's school-name search endpoint without loading the site's UI.

When to Use

Use when a caller needs school-name search results for a query, state, and charter-status filter.

Workflow

1. Construct the endpoint directly: https://lifewise.org/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=school_name_search&q={query}&state={state}&charter={charter}. URL-encode {query} and {state}; use the site's boolean representation for {charter} (for example, false).
2. In one browser call, navigate to that URL with waitUntil: "domcontentloaded", then run this extractor via evaluate() on the loaded response page:

(() => {
  const text = (
    document.body?.textContent ||
    document.documentElement?.textContent ||
    ""
  ).trim();
  if (!text) return null;
  try {
    return JSON.parse(text);
  } catch (error) {
    throw new Error("Expected JSON response, received: " + text.slice(0, 500));
  }
})();

3. Return the evaluator's parsed value as the JSON response.

Site-Specific Gotchas

• This is a WordPress admin-ajax.php endpoint, so the response is raw JSON rather than a normal page.
• Preserve all query parameters, especially action=school_name_search, state, and charter; an empty q is valid and returns the broader state-filtered result.
• Read document.body.textContent rather than relying on rendered selectors; the response page has no stable result-card DOM.

Expected Output

The parsed JSON value returned by the endpoint, typically an array or object containing the matching school records.
