What does StorageTreasures Scraper do?

It extracts storage-unit auction listings from StorageTreasures.com as clean, structured rows. Use it to build a storage-auction dataset, comp sold prices, feed a reselling tool, or find lockers to bid on in your area.

• 🔎 Search the way the site does — by state, city, ZIP + radius, facility, or keyword, or pull every active lot nationwide.
• ⚡ Server-side filtering = fast — a state or city search pulls only that area's lots directly from the API (a state is a few thousand lots, not the 28,000-lot national feed), so runs finish in seconds, not minutes.
• 💰 The numbers that matter — current bid, starting bid, minimum next bid, reserve, bid count, and views.
• 📸 Full lot detail — unit size, contents description, every photo, category tags, facility name + address, and payment options.
• ⏰ Time-aware — exact close time and a live time_left_seconds countdown so you know what's ending soon.

Input reference

Field	What it does
searchType	state · city · zipcode · facility · keyword · all
states	State names or two-letter codes — ["tx","fl"] or ["Texas"] both work. Used by State search; also sets the state for a City search.
city	City name for a City search (pair with its state).
zipcodes + radiusMiles	ZIP(s) and the search radius in miles (default 50).
facility	Facility name for a Facility search.
keyword	Free-text keyword (matches unit contents / titles nationwide).

maxBid	Keep only lots at/under this current bid (bargain filter).
fetchDetails	Add full description, address, and all photos (one extra request per lot).
maxLots	Cap on lots returned (default 50; 0 = the whole scope).
requestConcurrency	Parallel requests (default 5).
proxyConfiguration	Datacenter proxy is enough; use residential only for aggressive bulk pulls.

Output

One row per lot (see the field list above), available as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the API. Turn off Fetch full details for a faster, lighter run that skips the per-lot description/photos.

Notes & fair use

• No login is required for public auction data. Add your own proxy for heavy bulk pulls.
• Pricing is pay-per-event: you pay per lot returned (plus an optional per-lot detail fetch). A targeted state/city/ZIP search keeps runs small and cheap.
• You are responsible for complying with StorageTreasures' Terms of Service and applicable laws.
