## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Heritage Auctions Scraper

Scrape auction lots from **[Heritage Auctions (ha.com)](https://www.ha.com)** — the world's largest collectibles auctioneer. Pull live current-bid data and past-sale metadata across coins, sports cards, comics, currency, fine art, luxury handbags, historical items, and memorabilia.

Great for building **price comps**, collectible-market datasets, arbitrage/valuation tools, and grading-value research.

### What it does

- Searches Heritage Auctions by one or more keywords
- Scrapes **live** lots (current bid amounts) and/or the **sold/archive** price history
- Extracts title, price, sale date, grade, cert (PCGS / NGC / PSA / CGC / etc.), category, marketplace, lot & auction numbers, image, and lot URL
- Paginates automatically up to your requested limit

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array | Keywords to search, each queried separately. e.g. `["morgan dollar", "mickey mantle", "amazing spider-man 1"]` |
| `status` | select | `live` (current bids), `sold` (past-sale archive), or `both` |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max lots per query (default 100; 48 lots per page) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Proxy settings — **RESIDENTIAL** is used by default and strongly recommended |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["morgan dollar", "1998 rolex daytona"],
  "status": "live",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}
````

### Output

Each dataset item looks like:

```json
{
  "query": "morgan dollar",
  "title": "2021-S $1 Morgan Dollar 100th Anniversary, MS69 NGC. (PCGS# 877712)",
  "url": "https://coins.ha.com/itm/modern-commemoratives/2021-s-1-morgan-dollar-100th-anniversary-ms69-ngc-pcgs-877712-/a/60551-54051.s",
  "image": "https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/ha?p=3-4-6-3-2-34632541",
  "auctionNo": "60551",
  "lotNo": "54051",
  "saleDate": null,
  "currentBid": "$60",
  "soldPrice": null,
  "priceLabel": "Current Bid",
  "grade": "MS69",
  "certService": "PCGS",
  "certNo": "877712",
  "category": "modern commemoratives",
  "marketplace": "coins",
  "status": "live",
  "totalMatches": "2,419",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-02T23:59:00.000Z"
}
```

For `status: "sold"`, records include `saleDate` and (where available) `soldPrice`. **Note:** Heritage requires a free account to reveal exact realized dollar amounts for archived lots; when gated, `soldPrice` is `null` and `priceLabel` is `"Sold For (login required)"`, but the title, sale date, grade, and cert are still captured.

### Notes on anti-bot

Heritage Auctions is protected by **DataDome**. This Actor uses a real Chromium browser with a homepage session warmup and residential proxies to pass. Datacenter proxies will typically be blocked — keep the default RESIDENTIAL proxy setting.

### Categories covered

Coins, currency, sports cards, comics & comic art, fine & illustration art, luxury accessories (handbags/watches), historical & political memorabilia, entertainment memorabilia, books & manuscripts, and more — anything searchable on ha.com.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search across Heritage Auctions (ha.com). Each is searched separately across all categories — coins, sports cards, comics, currency, art, luxury handbags, memorabilia, and more. Examples: 'morgan dollar', 'mickey mantle', 'amazing spider-man 1', 'rolex daytona'.

## `status` (type: `string`):

Which lots to return. 'Live / Current Bids' scrapes open auction lots with current bid amounts (no login needed). 'Sold / Past Sales' scrapes the price-archive (title, sale date, grade, cert) — note Heritage requires a free account to reveal exact realized dollar amounts, so those show as 'login required'. 'Both' scrapes live first, then archive.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of lots to scrape per search query. Default 100. Higher values paginate through more result pages (48 lots per page).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Heritage Auctions uses DataDome anti-bot protection, so RESIDENTIAL proxies are strongly recommended and used by default. Datacenter proxies will usually be blocked.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "morgan dollar"
  ],
  "status": "live",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```
