• U.S. County Research Scraper checks customer-scoped research availability across up to 100 counties or county equivalents.
• Tax Sale Ranking Scraper compares counties and ranks authorized listings using your selected criteria.

Early-release mode

The useful current mode is customer-supplied data. You can choose 1 to 100 counties or county equivalents across multiple states or territories, one or two years, freshness and page limits, budget/value filters, property and sale-method preferences, and a deterministic ordering profile. You must affirm that you have the right to use the supplied records.

Accepted records use a strict factual schema. Unknown fields, source URLs, credentials, raw page content, personal owner/contact fields, malformed dates, stale or past records, duplicate events, and out-of-scope records fail closed or are excluded. The result contains only the normalized, matching projection and customer-specific identifiers.

maxResults is the listing page size, not a claim that a fixed cap represents the complete result. The request summary reports the exact number evaluated, excluded, qualifying, returned, and remaining. When another page exists, it returns a signed, expiring continuation cursor bound to the same customer, request, scope, criteria, page size, and supplied record set.

Known starting amounts are not predicted final acquisition prices. The Actor does not establish title, lien priority, redemption rights, eligibility, condition, value, or investment merit.

What it does not provide

This Actor does not provide a bulk research-route directory, raw page captures, or internal implementation data. Automated listing collection is used only where a route has separate current access, automation, and customer-delivery approval; otherwise the request uses customer-supplied records or returns a truthful unavailable/manual-review result.

Customers select jurisdictions rather than supplying or receiving the compiled research-route registry. For a separately approved automated route, an authenticated service maps that jurisdiction to an owner-controlled route, collects only allowlisted factual fields, and removes route addresses and implementation details before any customer result is stored.

Data handling

Your input and final output are stored in this Actor run's Apify default storages and follow your Apify account's access and retention settings. Customer-supplied mode is processed inside this run.

When an eligible service-side route is used, the bounded request is sent to a restricted Ascension Works-owned Apify run. After its result is copied and validated, this Actor deletes that temporary run's default input, output, and queue storages. If it cannot confirm all three deletions, no research result is delivered. Minimal service logs record only product type, output count, and status; Apify may retain generic run metadata and logs under its platform policies.

Do not submit owner or taxpayer names, mailing or contact details, credentials, raw pages, or other unnecessary personal data. If you enable Apify developer run sharing or attach a run to an Actor Issue, Apify may provide the creator access to the shared run's input, output, and logs.

Support and corrections

Use the Actor's Apify Issue or support control for a reproducible normalization problem. Include only the run ID, affected factual field, and generic status; never post credentials, private records, or personal data. Schema, freshness, and permission rules are periodically rechecked, and affected processing may be held unavailable while a correction is reviewed.

Early-release status

This early release supports complete customer-supplied screening with deterministic continuation. Automated collection is limited to separately authorized routes and is not promised nationwide. The approved all-in price for each eligible current_listing_normalized result that is actually stored is $0.000770 FREE, $0.0007315 BRONZE, $0.000693 SILVER, or $0.0006545 GOLD, plus the $0.00005 Actor-start event. Platform usage is included. Set at least $0.00082 as the run charge authorization when one paid result is requested. Summary, excluded, stale, duplicate, unauthorized, unavailable, and held rows do not receive the custom paid-result event.
