## 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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

# README

## 🏚️ Auction.com Scraper — Foreclosure & Bank-Owned Homes

**Scrape live US real-estate auctions from auction.com: foreclosure and bank-owned (REO) properties with full address, beds/baths/sqft, property type, estimated value, starting & current bid, reserve status and auction dates. Scan the whole country or pick states. No login, no API key.**

> 🕒 Updated: 2026-07-11 · 🇺🇸 ~15,000 active US auctions · 🏦 Foreclosure + bank-owned (REO) · 💰 Starting & live bid, reserve status, auction dates · 🚫 No login

Auction.com is the largest US foreclosure and bank-owned real-estate auction marketplace. **This actor turns its live inventory into a clean, structured dataset** — every active property with the address, physical details, valuation and the auction economics investors actually price a deal on. Point it at a state (or leave it blank for the whole country) and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets, or pull it via API.

Built for **real-estate investors, wholesalers, house flippers, iBuyers and hard-money lenders** who need the full auction pipeline in a spreadsheet, refreshed on a schedule.

---

### What it does

- 🏦 **Foreclosure & bank-owned (REO) inventory** — every active listing on auction.com, tagged by `property_type` (e.g. `BANK_OWNED`) and `is_foreclosure` (trustee sale) so you can split REO from foreclosure.
- 🏠 **Full property core** — address, city, state, county, ZIP, `beds`, `baths`, `sqft`, `lot_size`, `year_built`, structure type and occupancy status.
- 💰 **The auction economics** — `estimated_value`, `starting_bid`, live `current_bid`, `bid_count`, `reserve_status`, `auction_start`, `auction_end` and online/live flag.
- 🗺️ **Nationwide or by state** — leave **States** empty to pull every active US auction (~15k), or pass `["TX","FL","CA"]`. You can also paste auction.com search URLs.
- 🔗 **Direct listing URL + photo** on every row.
- ⚡ **Fast & reliable** — reads auction.com's own structured data feed (not fragile HTML), so runs come back complete, not blocked.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| **States** | Two-letter US state codes, e.g. `["TX","FL"]`. Leave empty to scan the whole country. |
| **Start URLs** | Optional. auction.com search URLs like `https://www.auction.com/residential/CA` (state auto-detected). |
| **Sort order** | Auction date (soonest first), Newest listed, or Estimated value. |
| **Max results** | Cap per run. `0` = pull everything (up to a safety cap). |
| **Proxy** | Default Apify Proxy is fine — the data feed is not IP-blocked. |

### Typical uses

- 📋 Build a **statewide foreclosure / REO pipeline** refreshed daily.
- 🎯 Filter for **vacant, low-est-value single-family** homes under a bid threshold.
- 🏷️ Feed auction inventory into a **CRM, comps model or acquisition dashboard**.

# Actor input Schema

## `states` (type: `array`):

Two-letter US state codes to scan for active auctions, e.g. \["TX", "FL", "CA"]. Every active foreclosure / bank-owned property listed on auction.com in each state is returned. Leave EMPTY to scan the whole country (all US active auctions).

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional. Paste auction.com search URLs, e.g. https://www.auction.com/residential/CA . The state is auto-detected from each URL and scanned. Use this or the States field.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Order results by soonest auction date, most recently listed, or estimated value.

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

Cap on the number of properties returned this run (cost/speed guard). Default 100; set 0 to pull every matching property (up to a safety cap).

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

Proxy settings. Auction.com's data API is not IP-blocked, so the default Apify Proxy is fine.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "states": [
    "TX"
  ],
  "sort": "auction_date",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `records` (type: `string`):

The dataset of scraped auction.com properties (one item per property).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

const input = {
    "states": [
        "TX"
    ],
    "sort": "auction_date",
    "maxResults": 20

const run = await client.actor("scrapersdelight/auction-com-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();
