How the Auction.com Scraper Works

1. You pick a state, a price range, or nothing at all for a national sweep.
2. The scraper navigates Auction.com's search pages, paginates through results, and collects every property card it finds.
3. Each card is followed to its detail page, where the full record is assembled — address, bid, auction date, property specs, and image.
4. Records are emitted one per property, capped at your maxItems limit.

FAQ

How do I scrape Auction.com listings?

Auction.com Scraper runs from the Apify console — pick a state, set a price range if you want one, and run. The scraper handles pagination, JavaScript hydration, and the detail-page follow-through. You get clean JSON when it finishes.

Does Auction.com Scraper need proxies?

Auction.com Scraper uses residential proxies by default, because Auction.com returns HTTP 403 to datacenter IPs. The proxy is wired in automatically — you don't have to bring your own.

How much does it cost to run?

Auction.com Scraper is pay-per-event. You're charged per property record returned, not per page crawled, so a run that finds 50 listings costs the same whether the scraper visited 3 search pages or 30.

Can I filter by price range?

Auction.com Scraper accepts minPrice and maxPrice as USD integers. Set either or both — leave a field at 0 and that side of the range is unbounded.

What states does it cover?

Auction.com Scraper covers every state where Auction.com has inventory, which is all 50 plus DC. Pass a two-letter abbreviation like TX, FL, or CA, or leave the field blank for a national sweep.

Why Use Auction.com Scraper?

• Priced per record — Pay-per-event billing means a 50-record run costs the same regardless of how many search pages had to be paginated through.
• Real browser rendering — Handles Auction.com's React-hydrated listing cards properly instead of giving up at the first empty selector, which is what every datacenter-IP scraper does on this site.
• Clean JSON output — Consistent field names across REO, foreclosure, and short-sale inventory, so the data lands in your pipeline without a normalization step.
