ShopGoodwill Scraper

Pull live auction and Buy Now listings from ShopGoodwill.com at scale — current bids, minimum next bids, Buy Now prices, shipping costs, auction end times, full descriptions, photo galleries, and complete bid history for every lot. Built for resellers, thrift flippers, collectors, and deal hunters who need structured ShopGoodwill data without babysitting the site and refreshing listings by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• 8 live-verified sort orders — Ending Soonest, Ending Latest, Lowest Price, Highest Price, Most Bids, Fewest Bids, and Title A-Z / Z-A, so you can surface the hottest lots or the cheapest lots in a single pass.
• Complete bid history embedded on every lot — up to 200 bids per item with masked bidder ids (e.g. W****1), bid amounts, and timestamps, all inside one row so you can measure exactly how competitive an auction is.
• 34+ structured fields per listing — current bid, next minimum bid, opening price, Buy Now price, discounted Buy Now, bid count, shipping, and full auction timing on every row — no HTML to untangle.
• 29 top-level categories plus deep leaf targeting — filter by name (Jewelry & Gemstones, Electronics, Collectibles, Clothing & Shoes…) or drop in any numeric category id to zero in on a specific sub-category like Women's Watches.
• One-cent-shipping filter — isolate ShopGoodwill's signature $0.01-shipping lots with a single toggle, the deal category resellers hunt for hardest.
• Ended-auction research mode — include closed auctions to pull real final sale prices for comps and resale benchmarking, not just what's live right now.
• Item and search URLs in, data out — paste a single shopgoodwill.com/item/... listing or a full category/search URL and it's scraped exactly as posted; keyword-only tools can't do this.
• Full detail enrichment on demand — flip one switch to add complete descriptions, every product photo, seller company name, and pickup city, state, and ZIP for each lot.

Use Cases

Filtered auction hunt

    "minPrice": 50,
    "maxPrice": 500,
    "sortBy": "mostBids",
    "maxResults": 200
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	["vintage jewelry"]	Keywords to search, one per line. Each term is searched separately. Leave empty (with no URLs) to browse the latest listings.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste ShopGoodwill URLs. Item pages are scraped as single listings; category or search pages are scraped like a search.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
category	string	(all)	Limit to one category by name (e.g. "Electronics") or a numeric category id for a specific sub-category.
minPrice	integer	(none)	Only listings with a current price at or above this amount, in USD.
maxPrice	integer	(none)	Only listings with a current price at or below this amount, in USD.
buyNowOnly	boolean	false	Return only listings that offer a fixed Buy Now price.
oneCentShippingOnly	boolean	false	Return only listings that ship for one cent ($0.01).
includeClosedAuctions	boolean	false	Also include auctions that have already ended — ideal for final-price research.
sortBy	select	Ending Soonest	Order results: Ending Soonest, Ending Latest, Lowest Price, Highest Price, Most Bids, Fewest Bids, Title A-Z, or Title Z-A.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum listings per search term or URL. Set to 0 for no limit (up to a safety ceiling of 50,000 per search).
scrapeDetails	boolean	false	Also collect the full description, every photo, shipping and handling costs, seller and pickup location, and bid history for each lot. Richer, but slower.

Tips for Best Results

• Start small — set maxResults to 50–100 on your first run to confirm the data matches your needs, then scale up.
• Turn on full details only when you need them — basic search is fast; detail mode (descriptions, photos, seller, pickup, bid history) is richer but slower, so leave it off for quick price sweeps.
• Find hot-but-affordable lots — combine the Most Bids sort with a maxPrice cap to surface auctions with heavy competition where the price hasn't run away yet.
• Use ended auctions for comps — turn on includeClosedAuctions and read currentPrice on closed lots to see real final sale prices, the gold standard for resale pricing and market benchmarks.
• Search several niches at once — each keyword in searchQueries runs as its own search, so add multiple terms to cover many product niches in a single run.
• Reach specific sub-categories by id — the category name matches the 29 top-level categories; to target something narrower like Women's Watches, copy the numeric id from that category's URL on ShopGoodwill and paste it into category.
• Read bid history as competition, not identity — bidder names are masked by ShopGoodwill (e.g. W****1); use them to count distinct bidders and gauge heat, not to identify people.

Pricing

From $5.00 per 1,000 results — undercuts the closest competing ShopGoodwill scraper while returning a fully documented, structured output. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
