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

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_pages5Max API result pages to fetch (100 listings/page, max 100).
