What it does

• 🌎 Country filter, done right — pull USA-only, Canada-only, or both. Filtered server-side, so a country search only pulls that country's auctions (not the whole feed).
• 📅 Auctions or lots — scrape whole auction events, or drill into individual lots (items) with live bids.
• 💰 The numbers that matter — current bid, estimate, reserve, quantity, lot number, bid count.
• 📍 Location-aware — state/province, city, ZIP, and a ZIP + radius search.
• 🖼️ Rich detail — auctioneer, description, close time, images, shipping, online-bidding flags.
• 🔎 Search any way — by keyword (coins, tractor, estate, equipment, liquidation), by state/province, by ZIP radius, or by specific auction IDs.

📊 Output — 40+ fields per record

Every lot comes back as a flat, ready-to-use JSON record. The key fields:
