PublicSurplus.com Auctions Scraper

Search the live auctions on PublicSurplus.com, one of the largest marketplaces for government and school-district surplus in the U.S. and Canada (vehicles, laptops, tools, furniture, heavy equipment), and get structured JSON instead of a web page.

For each auction: id, title, current price, number of bids, bid increment, minimum next bid, end time (ISO and local text), auction type (standard or Dutch), state, selling agency, pick-up address, condition, description, image and link.

Who uses it

  • Resellers and flippers watching lots before they close, across states, on a schedule.
  • Price watchers building alerts on keywords ("Dell Latitude", "Ford F-250").
  • AI agents: through the Apify MCP server an agent can ask "find laptops in Texas ending in the next 24 hours" and read the rows back.

Input

FieldTypeDefaultDescription
keywordstring–search text; empty = browse everything
statestring–two-letter state or province code (tx, ca, ne, bc)
includeDetailsbooleanfalseopen each auction page for bids, increment, agency, address, description (about one second per auction, costs more platform time)
maxItemsinteger1000 = all matching auctions

}

Pricing

Pay per auction returned. Without details (the default) a page of 25 auctions takes about a second; with includeDetails on, about one second per auction, so a run of 1,000 auctions takes 15-20 minutes of platform time.

Notes

Reads public auction pages only, no login. Contact details that PublicSurplus shows to logged-in users are not included. Auction end times can extend when late bids arrive; re-run close to the end for the final price.
