## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## AuctionNinja Estate Sale & Auction Scraper

Scrape **estate sales and online auctions** from [AuctionNinja](https://www.auctionninja.com) — a fast-growing marketplace for estate sale companies and auctioneers. Extract individual **auction lots** with current bids, item URLs, seller/auctioneer info, location, end dates, category, and images.

Perfect for **resellers, collectors, estate-sale hunters, and price-comparison tools**.

### What it does

- Browses AuctionNinja's marketplace by sale type, US state, or ZIP + radius
- Optionally opens each auction and extracts **every visible lot** (title, current bid, lot #, image)
- Filters records by one or more **search keywords**
- Returns clean, structured JSON — one record per lot (or per auction)

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array | Keywords to filter lots by (matches ANY). Empty = everything. |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | `true` = per-lot output (default). `false` = per-auction (faster). |
| `saleType` | string | `All`, `Online`, or `Estate`. |
| `state` | string | US state code (e.g. `NY`, `CA`). |
| `zipCode` | string | ZIP for location-based search. |
| `searchRadius` | integer | Miles from ZIP (5–500). |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max records to return (1–2000). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings (Apify Proxy on by default). |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["coins", "sterling silver"],
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "saleType": "Online",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
````

### Output

Each lot record looks like:

```json
{
  "recordType": "lot",
  "title": "1922 Peace Silver Dollar",
  "lotNumber": 42,
  "itemUrl": "https://www.auctionninja.com/.../item/....html",
  "currentBid": "$25.00",
  "bidAmount": 25,
  "auctioneer": "Ryder's Auction",
  "sellerUrl": "https://www.auctionninja.com/ryders-auction",
  "auctionTitle": "This, That, & The Other Auction",
  "auctionUrl": "https://www.auctionninja.com/.../sales/details/....html",
  "location": "Newington, CT",
  "city": "Newington",
  "stateRegion": "CT",
  "postalCode": "06111",
  "endDate": "2026-07-03T17:00:00-04:00",
  "startDate": "2026-06-26T12:00:00-04:00",
  "category": "Online Auction",
  "image": "https://www.auctionninja.com/.../123.jpg",
  "shippingInfo": "Shipping Available",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-03T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

When `scrapeDetails: false`, records are auction-level (`recordType: "auction"`) with `title`, `auctioneer`, `location`, `endDate`, and `image`.

### How it works

The scraper calls AuctionNinja's marketplace endpoint (`marketplace_ajax.php`) to list auctions, then parses each auction's detail page for lots and JSON-LD `SaleEvent` metadata (dates, address). No browser needed — fast HTTP + Cheerio.

### Notes

- Keyword filtering is applied to lot titles (and auction titles/category as fallback).
- Bids are live and change over time; `scrapedAt` marks capture time.
- Use residential proxies via `proxyConfiguration` if you hit rate limits.

### Legal

Scrapes only publicly available listing data. Respect AuctionNinja's Terms of Service and use responsibly.

# Actor input Schema

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

Keywords to search MySlabs for (e.g. "michael jordan", "1986 fleer", "charizard psa 10"). Each query runs a separate search. Leave empty to browse the newest listings.

## `publishType` (type: `string`):

Which listing type to scrape.

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

Maximum number of listings to scrape (across all queries).

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

Proxy settings. MySlabs is publicly accessible, so no proxy is needed by default. Enable a proxy only if you scrape at high volume and hit rate limits.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "michael jordan"
  ],
  "publishType": "all",
  "maxResults": 40,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/myslabs-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
