Auction.com Scraper — Foreclosures, REO & Live Auction Calendar 🏚️

🎉 The only Auction.com tool that pulls the live foreclosure & REO auction calendar — not just listings

Get upcoming trustee/courthouse and online REO sale events by state, county & date — plus the full distressed-property market (foreclosures, bank-owned, live auctions) in one run. Built for investors, flippers, wholesalers, and lead-gen teams.

---

📋 Overview

Auction.com is the largest US marketplace for distressed real estate — and this actor turns it into clean, structured data. Search foreclosures and bank-owned (REO) homes anywhere in the US, pull the live auction calendar by state and date, and get enriched listing detail with starting bids, deposits, valuations, and seller terms.

Why investors and lead-gen teams choose us:

• 📅 The auction calendar nobody else has: Pull upcoming foreclosure (trustee/courthouse) and bank-owned (online REO) sale events by state, county, and date window — the event timeline that drives the bids. No other Auction.com tool exposes it.
• ✅ Whole-market coverage: Search by city, county, ZIP, map radius, or a pasted Auction.com URL — nationwide or hyper-local
• 🎯 Distressed-only signal: Every row carries distress status, asset type, and auction status — no sifting through retail listings
• 💰 Pay only for results: Generous FREE tier to test, unlimited on PAID — only successful rows are charged
• 💎 Investor-grade detail: Optional enrichment adds starting bid, deposit, estimated value, foreclosure financials, seller terms, photo galleries, and property specs
• ✨ Market KPIs included: Every run ships an HTML report with price distribution, asset-type tallies, and location breakdowns

🎬 Quick Start

Pick an operation, give it a target (a location, ZIP, coordinates, or URL), and run. Results land in the Apify dataset as structured rows; an HTML market report is saved to the key-value store.

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sian.agency~auction-com-property-scraper/runs?token=[YOUR_TOKEN]' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

🚀 Getting Started (3 Simple Steps)

Step 1: Choose your operation

Pick searchByLocation / searchByZip / searchByCoordinates / searchByUrl for listings, calendar for upcoming sale events, or detailsById / detailsByUrl for a single property.

Step 2: Set your target

Provide the matching field — a location, zipCode, latitude+longitude+radius, or url. For the calendar, set a state and an optional dateFrom/dateTo window.

Step 3: Run and export

Launch the actor. Export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel directly from the dataset.

That's it! In under a minute, you'll have:

• A clean table of distressed listings or auction events
• Per-row distress status, auction detail, and valuation
• An HTML market report with price and location analytics

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Widen the area (try a county or a larger radius) or check the spelling of location.
• Confirm the state code is the 2-letter form (e.g. TX, not Texas).

Calendar returns nothing

• Make sure dateFrom/dateTo bracket a window with scheduled sales, and that state is set.

A pasted URL doesn't work

• Use a standard Auction.com search or listing URL; shortened or filtered share-links may not resolve.

Hit the FREE-tier cap

• FREE runs are capped at 60 rows. Upgrade to PAID for unlimited results.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
