Proxibid Scraper - Auction Lots & Prices

Scrape auction lots from Proxibid, the online auction marketplace for equipment, coins, collectibles, vehicles, firearms, antiques, and more. Search by keyword and export structured lot data: title, current bid, lot URL, auction house, category, location, end date, and image.

Perfect for resellers, price monitoring, auction market research, and building arbitrage / comp datasets.

What it does

• Search Proxibid for any keyword (e.g. silver coins, John Deere, antique furniture, rolex)
• Paginate through thousands of matching lots per query
• Extract clean, structured data straight from Proxibid's own search API
• Optionally enrich each lot with its full detail-page description

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQueries	array of strings	One or more keywords. Each produces its own result set.
maxResults	integer	Max lots to scrape per query (default 100).
scrapeDetails	boolean	If true, opens each lot page for the full description (slower).
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL is required and used by default.

  "scrapeDetails": false,

Notes

• Proxibid is protected by Imperva Incapsula. This Actor uses a real browser engine through residential proxies to access the site, so residential proxy traffic is required. Datacenter IPs are hard-blocked by the site.
• Data is pulled from Proxibid's own search API for clean, structured results.
• Be respectful with maxResults and concurrency to avoid overloading the source.

Pricing

This Actor is pay-per-result: a small fee per dataset item plus a tiny Actor-start fee. You only pay for the lots you actually collect.
