What it does

Searches BidSpotter for one or more keywords (e.g. tractor, cnc, forklift, woodworking) — or browses all current auctions when no query is given.
Extracts rich, structured data from each auction catalogue (combining the page's embedded schema.org JSON-LD with on-page HTML).
Merges and de-duplicates results across queries by catalogue ID.
Optionally enriches each record with a full description from the auction's catalogue page.

Output fields

Field	Description
`catalogueId`	Unique BidSpotter catalogue identifier
`title`	Auction / catalogue title
`auctionHouse`	Name of the auctioneer running the sale
`location`	Physical location of the sale (city, region)
`categories`	List of lot categories, each with item count (e.g. `"Tractors (12)"`)
`category`	The first/top category
`startDate`	Auction start date (ISO 8601)
`endDate`	Auction end / closing date (ISO 8601)
`saleDatesText`	Human-readable sale date text
`auctionType`	Auction type (e.g. `Timed`, `Live`)
`description`	Short auction description
`fullDescription`	Full description (only when Scrape Auction Details is enabled and the page is reachable)
`imageUrl`	Auction thumbnail/banner image URL
`listingUrl`	Direct link to the auction catalogue
`searchQuery`	The query that produced this record
`scrapedAt`	ISO timestamp of when the record was scraped

Input

{
  "searchQueries": ["tractor", "cnc"],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

searchQueries — array of keywords. Leave empty ([]) to browse all current auctions.
maxResults — max records across all queries (0 = unlimited).
scrapeDetails — also visit each catalogue page to add fullDescription.
proxyConfiguration — proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL proxies are recommended.

Notes & limitations

BidSpotter is protected by AWS WAF. The scraper uses realistic browser fingerprints to reliably read the search/listing pages.
Individual lot detail pages (per-item current bid / estimate) sit behind a JavaScript anti-bot challenge. This Actor works at the auction catalogue level — which exposes the auction title, auctioneer, location, dates, image, and per-category lot counts. Enabling RESIDENTIAL proxies and Scrape Auction Details improves the odds of reaching deeper pages.
Please use responsibly and respect BidSpotter's Terms of Service.
