No login, no API key.

FAQ

What is the data source? EstateSales.net, a public directory of estate sales, moving sales, and auctions across the US.

Do I need an account? No. All listing data returned by this actor is publicly visible without logging in. EstateSales.net offers optional free registration for email alerts, which this actor does not use or require.

Why do some listings have no address? Sellers can choose to reveal the exact address only after a set time (often the morning of the sale). Until then, address is omitted and only city/state/ZIP are available.

What does searching by state only (no city) return? It browses across the state's metro areas, collecting sales from each until maxItems is reached — useful for a broad statewide sweep.

How current is the data? Listings reflect what's live on EstateSales.net at the time the actor runs.

Is this affiliated with EstateSales.net? No, this is an independent third-party actor that reads EstateSales.net's public pages.

Can I combine sale type and date filters? Yes — saleType, dateFrom, and dateTo all combine with state/city/zipCode in search mode.
