Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Hubzu Scraper - Foreclosure & Auction Real Estate Scrape **foreclosure, bank-owned (REO), short-sale and auction property listings from [Hubzu](https://www.hubzu.com)** into clean, structured data - no account or API key required. Search by **state**, **state + city**, choose an **event type**, or paste Hubzu search URLs. Hubzu is one of the largest **online real-estate auction marketplaces** in the US - the platform banks and servicers use to auction distressed, foreclosed and REO homes. This is **high-value, low-competition data**: current bids, auction end dates and distressed-property inventory that mainstream real-estate scrapers (Zillow/Redfin-style) don't cover. ### What you get (per listing) - **propertyId** + **listingId** and the canonical **listing URL** (`hubzu.com/property/-`) - **address**, **city**, **state**, **zip**, **county**, plus **lat / lng** - **currentBid**, **startingBid**, **listPrice**, **ownItNowPrice** (all numeric) + **bidCount** and **reserveMet / reservePrice** flags - **beds**, **baths** (supports half-baths), **sqft**, **lotSize**, **propertyType** (Single Family / Condo / ...) - **eventType** + raw **propertyCategory** - Bank Owned (REO), Foreclosure, Short Sale, Non-Bank Owned - **listingStatus** / **propertyStatus** (auction status) and **listingType** (Auction / Traditional Sale) - **auctionStartDate**, **auctionEndDate**, **auctionDuration**, and time-left (**timeLeftDays / Hours / Minutes**) - **occupancyStatus**, **agentCompanyName**, **sellerId**, **tagName**, **newToHubzu / hotProperty / selfShowing / brokerCoOp** - **imageUrl** (primary photo) + **photoCount** ### Input - **state** - a two-letter US state code, e.g. `GA`. Leave empty to scrape nationwide. - **city** - optional, narrows to a single city (requires state), e.g. `Atlanta`. - **eventType** - `auctions` (default, every live auction), `foreclosures`, `bank-owned`, `short-sale`, `non-bank-owned`, `commercial`, or `traditional-sale`. - **startUrls** - optional. Paste Hubzu landing/search URLs (overrides state/city/event), e.g. `https://www.hubzu.com/ga/auctions`, `https://www.hubzu.com/tx/houston/bank-owned`, `https://www.hubzu.com/foreclosures`. - **maxItems** - caps the total listings collected. - **proxyConfiguration** - Apify default (datacenter) proxy is sufficient; switch to Residential only if Cloudflare starts blocking datacenter IPs. #### Example input ```json { "state": "GA", "city": "Atlanta", "eventType": "auctions", "maxItems": 200, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` Nationwide foreclosures: ```json { "eventType": "foreclosures", "maxItems": 500 } ``` Equivalent with a URL: ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.hubzu.com/ga/atlanta/auctions" }], "maxItems": 200 } ``` #### Example output (one item) ```json { "propertyId": "9321808372", "listingId": "9321808372AUCN2", "url": "https://www.hubzu.com/property/9321808372-251-S-Robinson-St-Lenox-GA-31637", "address": "251 S Robinson St", "city": "Lenox", "state": "GA", "zip": "31637", "county": "Cook", "lat": 31.268241, "lng": -83.46407, "currentBid": 92000, "startingBid": 80000, "listPrice": 104500, "bidCount": 3, "reserveMet": false, "beds": 2, "baths": 2, "sqft": 1698, "lotSize": 31363, "propertyType": "Single Family", "propertyCategory": "REO", "eventType": "Bank Owned (REO)", "listingType": "AUCN", "listingStatus": "Active", "auctionStartDate": "2026-07-06T09:29:11Z", "auctionEndDate": "2026-07-13T09:29:11Z", "auctionDuration": "Jul. 06 - Jul. 13", "occupancyStatus": "Vacant/Unknown", "agentCompanyName": "Norris Bishop Realty LLC", "photoCount": 12, "imageUrl": "https://image-prod.hubzu.com/2026/6/9321808372/9321808372_20260624152830283_2.JPEG.X278.Y184.JPEG", "scrapedFrom": "hubzu.com" } ``` ### Why this actor - **High-WTP niche:** distressed / auction / foreclosure inventory (REO, short-sale) that mainstream real-estate scrapers skip - great for **investors, iBuyers, wholesalers and lead-gen**. - **Reads the site's own JSON API,** not brittle HTML. Hubzu's search page is a JavaScript SPA that loads results from an internal `/api/portal/...` service; this Actor calls that endpoint directly, so it paginates cleanly through the *entire* result set (thousands of listings) instead of the empty page shell. - **Fast + cheap:** every field comes from the search API - no per-listing detail requests - and it runs on Apify's default datacenter proxy. - Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull via the Apify API. Great for **distressed-property lead generation, auction monitoring, foreclosure-market analysis, and real-estate investment research**. *** This scraper collects **public listing data for market research**. It is **not a consumer report** and must **not** be used for **FCRA / tenant-screening** purposes. Respect Hubzu's Terms of Use and applicable laws. # Actor input Schema ## `state` (type: `string`): Two-letter US state code to search, e.g. "GA", "TX", "FL", "NY". Leave empty to scrape nationwide. Combine with City to narrow to one city. ## `city` (type: `string`): Optional city to narrow the search, e.g. "Atlanta", "San Antonio", "Los Angeles". Requires State. Ignored when State is empty. ## `eventType` (type: `string`): Which Hubzu inventory to scrape. "auctions" (default) returns every live auction (REO, foreclosure, short-sale, non-bank-owned). The others narrow to one event type. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional. Paste one or more Hubzu search/landing URLs instead of State + City, e.g. https://www.hubzu.com/ga/auctions , https://www.hubzu.com/tx/houston/bank-owned , or https://www.hubzu.com/foreclosures . Overrides State/City/Event when provided. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after collecting this many listings (across all searches). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Hubzu's search API is open (no login), so Apify's default datacenter proxy is usually enough. If Cloudflare starts blocking datacenter IPs, switch this to Residential. ## Actor input object example ```json { "state": "GA", "city": "Atlanta", "eventType": "auctions", "startUrls": [], "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
