Scrape auction lots from K-BID.com, one of the largest online auction marketplaces in the U.S. Midwest. K-BID hosts daily auctions for estates, equipment, vehicles, collectibles, tools, household goods, and more.
This Actor extracts structured data for every lot it finds — item title, current bid, lot number, the auction it belongs to, the seller, location, category, close time, image, and a direct listing URL.
What it does
- Keyword search — provide one or more keywords and the Actor scrapes all matching open lots across every K-BID auction, paginating automatically.
- Browse mode — leave the keywords empty and the Actor walks every currently open auction and scrapes its lots.
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
searchQueries | array of strings | Keywords to search (e.g. ["tools", "coins"]). Empty = browse all open auctions. |
maxResults | integer | Max lots to scrape. 0 = unlimited. Default 100. |
scrapeDetails | boolean | Reserved for future per-lot enrichment. No effect today (listing pages already carry all fields). |
proxyConfiguration | object | Optional proxy settings. Residential recommended for large runs. |
Example input
{"searchQueries": ["tools", "tractor"],"maxResults": 200}
