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 ## Xome Foreclosure & Auction Property Scraper Scrape **foreclosure and auction real-estate listings from [Xome](https://www.xome.com/auctions)** into clean, structured data - no Xome account or API key required. Xome auctions bank-owned homes, foreclosures, short sales and second-chance (CWCOT) properties nationwide. This actor pulls the full listing feed by **state, city, ZIP, or URL** - ideal for foreclosure investors, real-estate wholesalers, and market analysts. ### What you get (per listing) - **Full address** - street, city, state, ZIP + **latitude / longitude** - **Pricing** - headline bid with its label (Est. Opening Bid / Starting Bid / High Bid / Final Bid), plus **starting bid, buy-it-now price and reserve** when set - **Foreclosure stage** - Foreclosure, Bank Owned, Short Sale, 2nd-Chance Foreclosure, Non-Bank Owned - **Auction details** - status (Active / Coming Soon / Finished), auction **start & end date**, event name, and auction type (In-Person / Online) - Beds, baths, square footage, year built, property type (Single Family, Multi-Family, Condo, Townhouse, Mobile/Manufactured, Land, Commercial...) - **Primary photo** URL and the canonical **listing URL** ### Input Pick **any one** way to target listings: - **Xome auction URLs** - paste state or city listing pages, e.g. `https://www.xome.com/auctions/listing/TX` or `https://www.xome.com/auctions/listing/TX/Dallas`. - **State** - a two-letter code (e.g. `TX`) returns every auction/foreclosure in that state. - **City + State** - narrow to one city (e.g. City `Dallas` + State `TX`). - **ZIP** - narrow to a single ZIP (e.g. `75201`). - Leave everything blank and the actor **sweeps all 50 states** until `maxItems` is reached. **Max listings** caps the run. #### Example input ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.xome.com/auctions/listing/TX" }], "maxItems": 500 } ```` ```json { "state": "FL", "maxItems": 1000 } ``` ### Why this actor - **Direct from Xome's own listing API** - every field is read straight from the same JSON feed the site itself renders, so records are complete and there are **no slow per-listing detail requests**. - **Fast + cheap** - runs on Apify's default **datacenter proxy** (the API is key-gated, not IP-gated), so no pricey residential proxy is needed. - **Foreclosure-grade fields** - opening bid, auction date and foreclosure stage that generic real-estate scrapers don't surface. - Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull via the API. ### Notes & limitations - **Estimated value** and **lot size** are not exposed on Xome's search feed (they appear only on the per-property detail page), so they are returned as `null`. - Bid amounts of `$0` on foreclosures mean the **opening bid is "to be determined"** - surfaced as `price: null` with the label preserved. - This data is for market research and lead generation; it is **not a consumer report** and must not be used for FCRA-covered purposes. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): One or more Xome auction listing URLs, e.g. https://www.xome.com/auctions/listing/TX (a state) or https://www.xome.com/auctions/listing/TX/Dallas (a city). The state / city is read from the URL path. If left empty, the State / City / ZIP fields below are used. ## `state` (type: `string`): Two-letter state code to scrape when no Start URL is given (e.g. "TX", "CA", "FL"). Returns every Xome auction / foreclosure listing in that state. ## `city` (type: `string`): Narrow the search to a single city. Requires State to be set too (e.g. City "Dallas" + State "TX"). ## `zip` (type: `string`): Narrow the search to a single ZIP code (e.g. "75201"). Takes precedence over City/State. Note: many ZIPs have no active auctions. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after collecting this many listings (across all locations). If no location is given at all, the actor sweeps every US state until this cap is reached. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Xome's listing API is gated only by a public key (not by IP), so it works fine through Apify's default datacenter proxy - no residential proxy needed. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.xome.com/auctions/listing/TX" } ], "state": "TX", "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.xome.com/auctions/listing/TX" } ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("jongoose/xome-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
