## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## GoDaddy Auctions Scraper

### 🎯 Find GoDaddy auction data

GoDaddy domain investors, SEO researchers, and market analysts can search GoDaddy Auctions with one domain keyword. The Actor returns structured auction records with domain names, auction IDs, current prices, end times, bid counts, monthly traffic, backlink counts, and a 0–100 shortlist score, so you can compare candidates in a dataset.

#### 🧭 Use cases

- Compare matching listings for [**Domain Auctions**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/godaddy-auctions/examples/domain-auctions) by current price, end time, bids, traffic, backlinks, and shortlist score.
- Build an [**Expired Domains List**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/godaddy-auctions/examples/expired-domains-list) from matching GoDaddy auction listings and their domain signals.
- Search GoDaddy listings with the [**Domain Auction Sites**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/godaddy-auctions/examples/domain-auction-sites) keyword and inspect matching domains.
- Review a focused [**Expired Domain Auction**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/godaddy-auctions/examples/expired-domain-auction) search with prices, timing, bids, and shortlist scores.
- Find one matching listing with [**Domain Auction**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/godaddy-auctions/examples/domain-auction) and review its structured GoDaddy auction record.

#### 📊 Returned data

Each saved auction row includes the domain, auction ID, current price, auction end time, bid count, monthly traffic, backlink count, and shortlist score. The score is a 0–100 comparison signal based on the fields in the row, not a domain appraisal or a promise that a listing is a good purchase.

#### 🚀 Run the Actor

1. Enter one word or short phrase in `domainKeyword`.
2. Set `maxItems` if you want to stop after a chosen number of matching listings.
3. Run the Actor and open the dataset link in the output.

The Actor can continue through available source result pages when more matching listings are needed. Each run uses one domain keyword; start another run for a different keyword.

#### ⚙️ Input

Use one domain keyword and, optionally, a work limit:

| Field | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `domainKeyword` | string | One word or short phrase used to find matching GoDaddy auction listings. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of listings to save. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. |

Example input from a successful current beta run:

```json
{
  "domainKeyword": "coffee",
  "maxItems": 25
}
```

#### 📤 Output

The run output contains a link to the collected dataset:

| Field | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `datasetUrl` | string | Link to the collected GoDaddy auction listings. |

The linked dataset uses one row shape.

##### Auction row

| Field | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `domain` | string | Domain name in the GoDaddy auction listing. |
| `auctionId` | string | GoDaddy ID for the auction. |
| `currentPrice` | number | Current auction price reported by GoDaddy Auctions. |
| `auctionEndTime` | date-time string | Date and time when the auction is due to end. |
| `bidCount` | integer | Number of bids recorded for the auction. |
| `monthlyTraffic` | integer | Estimated monthly traffic for the domain. |
| `backlinkCount` | integer | Number of backlinks reported for the domain. |
| `shortlistScore` | number | 0–100 signal that combines current price, auction end time, bid count, monthly traffic, and backlink count; higher scores are stronger shortlist signals. |

```json
{
  "domain": "turningpointbycoffeeart.com",
  "auctionId": "717840150",
  "currentPrice": 1,
  "auctionEndTime": "2026-08-08T18:01:00.000Z",
  "bidCount": 0,
  "monthlyTraffic": 6,
  "backlinkCount": 0,
  "shortlistScore": 14.23
}
```

#### 💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Each saved auction listing is one billable event; see the Store pricing panel for the current rate.

#### ❓ FAQ

##### What does a blank `maxItems` do?

Leaving `maxItems` empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted. Set a number when you want a smaller collection.

##### Is `shortlistScore` a domain appraisal?

No. It is a 0–100 signal that combines the current price, end time, bid count, monthly traffic, and backlink count to help compare listings. It is not an independent valuation or buying advice.

##### Does the Actor place bids or buy domains?

No. It collects GoDaddy auction data only. It does not place bids, purchase domains, or manage GoDaddy accounts.

##### Does it search Namecheap domain listings, Afternic, or Dynadot auctions?

No. It searches GoDaddy Auctions only and does not merge data from another domain marketplace.

##### Is this an official GoDaddy Auctions service?

No official GoDaddy status is claimed. This independent Apify Actor returns structured auction listings for research.

##### Does it return a full GoDaddy domain price list?

No. It returns the current price for matching auction listings, not a full catalog of every GoDaddy domain price.

### 📝 Changelog
