## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Sedo Domain Marketplace Scraper

Scrape **Sedo.com** — one of the world's largest domain name marketplaces. Search by keyword or browse any of Sedo's 14 top-level categories, and get asking price, sale type (Buy Now / Make Offer), bid count, and estimated monthly traffic for every listed domain. No login, no cookies, no paid proxy required.

### What this actor does

- **Two modes:** `search` (free-text keyword) and `byCategory` (browse one of Sedo's 14 top-level categories: Arts, Business, Computers, Education, Games, Health, Home, Miscellaneous, Recreation, Science, Shopping, Society, Sports, Adult)
- **Filters:** TLD (extension), price range, minimum estimated monthly traffic, domain name length range, sale/listing type (Buy Now / Make Offer / Marketplace Auction / Expiring Domain Auction)
- **Sort by:** relevance, price, traffic, name, bid count, or newest listings
- **Empty fields are omitted** — every record only contains fields Sedo actually published for that listing

### Output per domain

- `domainName`, `tld`, `domainLength`
- `price`, `priceCurrency`, `priceFormatted` — only present for listings with a visible asking price
- `saleType` — `Buy Now`, `Make Offer`, `Marketplace Auction`, or `Expiring Domain Auction`
- `bidCount` — number of bids placed so far
- `estimatedMonthlyTraffic`
- `listedAt` — ISO 8601 date the listing was created, when published
- `listingId`
- `category` — the category browsed to find this result (mode=byCategory)
- `sourceUrl` — canonical Sedo domain listing page
- `buyNowUrl` — direct purchase link, for Buy Now listings
- `recordType: "domain"`, `scrapedAt`

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `mode` | string | `search` | `search` / `byCategory` |
| `searchQuery` | string | `shop` | Free-text keyword (mode=search) |
| `categoryId` | string | `1002` (Business) | One of 14 top-level categories (mode=byCategory) |
| `tlds` | array | – | Only include these extensions, e.g. `com`, `net`, `ai`, `io` |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | int | – | Price range in USD |
| `minTraffic` | int | – | Minimum estimated monthly visits |
| `minLength` / `maxLength` | int | – | Domain name length range (excluding TLD), 1–63 |
| `saleType` | string | `any` | `any` / `buyNow` / `makeOffer` / `auction` / `expiringAuction` |
| `sortBy` | string | `relevance` | `relevance` / `price` / `traffic` / `name` / `bids` / `dateCreated` |
| `sortDescending` | boolean | `true` | Sort highest-to-lowest (or newest-first) |
| `maxItems` | int | `50` | Hard cap on emitted records (1–2000) |

#### Example: keyword search filtered to .com domains

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "crypto",
  "tlds": ["com"],
  "maxItems": 50
}
````

#### Example: browse a category, Buy Now only, sorted by price

```json
{
  "mode": "byCategory",
  "categoryId": "1002",
  "saleType": "buyNow",
  "sortBy": "price",
  "sortDescending": false,
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

#### Example: high-traffic short domains under $10,000

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "app",
  "maxPrice": 10000,
  "minTraffic": 100,
  "maxLength": 8,
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

### Use cases

- **Domain investing** — screen Sedo's marketplace for undervalued or high-traffic domains matching a keyword or TLD
- **Brand research** — check availability and asking price for domain names related to a new brand or product
- **Market monitoring** — track pricing trends and bid activity within a category over time
- **Portfolio benchmarking** — compare your own domain holdings' pricing against comparable live listings
- **Lead generation for domain brokers** — surface newly listed or actively-bid-on domains in a niche

### FAQ

**What's the data source?**
Sedo's own public domain marketplace search and category browse pages at `sedo.com`. This actor is an independent third-party tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sedo.

**Do I need a proxy or login?**
No. This actor works with no configuration beyond the input fields above, and runs on the Apify free plan.

**Why do some listings have no `price` field?**
Not every domain has a public asking price — some are marketplace-negotiable ("Make Offer") without a stated minimum. Only listings with a real, published price include `price`/`priceFormatted`.

**What currency are prices in?**
Whatever currency Sedo itself displays for that listing — check `priceCurrency` on each record; `minPrice`/`maxPrice` filters use Sedo's own approximate USD equivalent.

**How fresh is the data?**
Every run queries Sedo live — there is no caching.

**Can I combine a keyword search with a TLD filter?**
Yes — `tlds`, price/traffic/length filters, and `saleType` all apply on top of `searchQuery` (mode=search) or `categoryId` (mode=byCategory).
