Scrapes live government surplus auction listings from GovDeals.com. The current GovDeals site is an Angular SPA backed by the Liquidity Services "Maestro" JSON API; this actor calls that API directly (POST https://maestro.lqdt1.com/search/list) with the public web-client keys, paginates the search results, and outputs one record per auction listing with title, current bid, location, seller, close time, listing URL, and photo.
Input
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
keyword | "" | Search keyword (e.g. forklift). Empty = all current auctions. |
category | "" | GovDeals category name, filtered server-side (e.g. Transportation, Forklifts). |
state | "" | US state filter (TX or Texas), applied client-side on the listing location. |
max_pages | 5 | Max API result pages to fetch (100 listings/page, max 100). |
limit | 100 | Max records to output (max 5000). |
