🥷 AuctionNinja Scraper & Estate-Sale Auction Monitor

Scrape live AuctionNinja.com estate-sale auctions — every sale and every lot with current bid, lot #, close time, photo, full location, AND the auction manager's name, phone & email — filtered by state, ZIP radius, city, or seller. Then run it on a schedule as a new-lot monitor that pings Slack, email, or webhook the moment fresh lots drop, so you bid (or pitch) first.

Turn AuctionNinja into a clean dataset or a real-time deal alert. No login, no API key, no browser automation — the site filters server-side, so you pull only the sales you actually want.

What does AuctionNinja Scraper do?

AuctionNinja Scraper extracts estate-sale and online auction listings from AuctionNinja.com and returns clean, structured rows you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or push to your app via API. Antiques, fine art, sterling silver, coins, MCM furniture, jewelry, designer fashion, tools — liquidated by hundreds of estate-sale companies across the US.

• 🔎 Search the way the site does — by state, ZIP + radius, city, seller, or sale type. All server-side.
• 🔨 Every lot — lot #, title, current bid, time left, photo, product URL (optionally bid counts).
• 📇 Lead-gen bonus — each sale includes the auction manager's name, phone & email plus the company name: a ready-made estate-sale-company lead list.
• 📍 Full location — city/state, street address, latitude/longitude.
• ⏰ Time-aware — sale close datetime, exact start/end from the sale's structured data, per-lot countdown.
• 💸 Buyer's premium % per sale, so you can compute true cost before bidding.
• 🔔 New-lot monitor — schedule it and get Slack / email / webhook alerts for newly listed lots (or new sales) in your niche.

What data does it extract?

For every lot (default mode):

• 🆔 item_id, lot_number, 🏷️ title, 🔗 lot_url
• 💵 current_bid, has_bid, 🔨 bid_count (optional), ⏳ time_left_text
• 🖼️ image
• 🛒 its sale: sale_id, sale_title, sale_url, sale_close_text, sale_start, sale_end, sale_item_count, 💸 buyers_premium_pct
• 🏢 seller_company, seller_slug, seller_phone
• 📇 manager_name, manager_phone, manager_email
• 📍 street_address, city, state, zipcode, location, latitude, longitude, 🚚 fulfillment
• ✨ is_new (monitor mode), 🕒 scraped_at

In Sales mode you get one row per sale — the lead list (sale + company + manager contact + location + item count), without paging through lots.

Two ways to use it

1. Bulk scrape — pull lots (or whole sales) for a state, ZIP radius, city, or seller into one clean dataset.
2. New-lot monitor (the recurring play) — set monitorMode: true, attach an Apify Schedule (e.g. every few hours), and the actor emits/alerts only lots new since the last run for your scope.

Is it legal to scrape AuctionNinja?

AuctionNinja listings are public auction data, browsable without a login. The auction-manager contact details are published openly by the sellers on every sale card to attract bidders. Scraping publicly available listings is generally legal, but you are responsible for your use — especially of contact data under applicable marketing/privacy laws — and you should review the current AuctionNinja Terms of Service before commercial use or resale of the data.

FAQ

What is AuctionNinja? AuctionNinja.com is a fast-growing US marketplace where estate-sale companies run online auctions — typically full-house liquidations: antiques, art, jewelry, coins, furniture, tools, collectibles.

Do I need an account, login, or API key? No. The actor reads public listing data directly — no account, cookies, or API key required.

Can I monitor new lots and get alerts? Yes. Turn on monitorMode, attach an Apify Schedule, and add a Slack/webhook/email channel. Each run emits and alerts only lots new since the last run for your scope.

Can I filter by location? Yes — state (2-letter code), zipcode + radiusMiles, or city. All server-side, so runs stay small and fast.

Can I search for specific items like sterling silver or watches? Yes — set lotKeyword (e.g. sterling). The actor pages through the matched sales and outputs only lots whose title contains your keyword.

Does it return the auction company's contact info? Yes — every sale carries the auction manager's name, phone, and email plus the company name. Use resultType: "sales" to get a pure lead list, one row per sale.

Does it return photos? Yes — each lot includes its photo URL; sales-mode rows link to the sale page.

How do I get bid counts? Turn on fetchBidCounts — the actor opens each lot's product page and adds bid_count (one extra request per lot).

What's the buyer's premium field? buyers_premium_pct is the percentage the auction company adds on top of the hammer price — pulled from each sale's structured data so you can compute true cost.

How do I export the data? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or RSS from the Dataset tab, or via the Apify API.

Can I integrate with Make, Zapier, n8n, or my backend? Yes — use the webhook/Slack channels for alerts, or the Apify API to pipe the dataset anywhere.
