Sample output (raw JSON, with Open each listing on):
๐ Scrape only new Auction.com listings with the cache
Set the same Cache project name on each scheduled run. Listings already saved under that name are skipped, not charged and not counted towards Max listings per search or URL. New listings get changeType: "new", and a listing whose status changed since the last run (for example from active to sold) is saved again with changeType: "updated". Every name has its own cache, so several searches can be followed separately. With an Apify Schedule you get only the fresh and changed listings every day.

winningBidisnull. - Starting bid on in-person sales - many trustee sales publish no starting bid, so
startingBidisnull. - Estimated value filter - the minimum and maximum value filters use the property's estimated value, not the starting bid.

- Contacts and documents - seller contacts and listing documents are not collected.
โ Auction.com scraper FAQ
Can I scrape Auction.com legally?
The actor only collects listing data that is already publicly visible on auction.com: no login, paywall or private content is accessed. Scraping publicly available data is generally considered lawful (see hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn), but you are responsible for complying with the site's Terms of Service and applicable laws.
What data does the Auction.com scraper return?
Address, coordinates, property facts (beds, baths, living area, lot size, year built), sale and asset type, auction format and dates, starting bid, current and winning bid, estimated value and rent, photos and flags such as financing and buyer premium. With Open each listing it adds the description, legal description, parcel number, seller terms, venue, sale time, trustee sale number, debt and page views.
How many listings can I scrape from one search?
Max listings per search or URL limits each start URL or search; the site does not cap results, so a whole state or the whole country can be read. A search without a state is split into one search per state.
Do I need a proxy to scrape auction.com?
No. Apify Proxy is off by default and the actor works with its built-in connection; turn the proxy on only if you want to use your own proxy IPs.
How do I scrape Auction.com with Python?
Use the Python example above and iterate over the dataset items.
Can I run this Auction.com scraper on a schedule?
Yes, with Apify Schedules. Set a Cache project name so each scheduled run returns only new listings and listings whose status changed since the last run.
What output formats are supported?
JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS, either from the Output tab or through the Apify API.
Can I get sold and cancelled Auction.com listings?
Yes. Choose Sold or Cancelled under Listing status, or paste a closed_lt or canceled_lt search page. Sold listings carry the winning bid and sale date where the site shows them.
