Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Florida Foreclosure & Tax Deed Auction Calendar — Investor Leads Get every **upcoming foreclosure auction and tax deed sale** scheduled across Florida county clerk auction sites — case number, parcel ID, property address, final judgment / opening bid, assessed value, sale date and live status — in clean JSON/CSV, ready for your CRM, spreadsheet, or deal-analysis pipeline. This actor reads the **primary source**: the official RealForeclose / RealTaxDeed auction platforms operated for Florida's county clerks, where the sales actually happen. Not a Zillow re-scrape, not a stale lead-broker list — the same calendar the bidders see, pulled on demand. ### Who uses this - **Cash buyers, flippers & wholesalers** — see every sale in your counties weeks ahead; sort by judgment amount vs. assessed value to spot equity spreads before the courthouse crowd. - **Foreclosure-surplus recovery firms** — track sold auctions and case numbers feeding your surplus claims pipeline. - **Title companies & attorneys** — monitor upcoming sales for client properties or target ZIPs. - **Lead-gen & data teams** — schedule daily runs with `newOnly` and pipe fresh auctions into Make/Zapier/n8n via the Apify integrations. ### What you get per record | Field | Example | |---|---| | `county` / `auctionType` | `broward` / `foreclosure` | | `auctionDate` / `status` | `06/24/2026` / `Auction starts 10:00 AM` | | `caseNumber` | `CACE-24-012345` | | `parcelId` | `5142-01-23-4560` | | `propertyAddress` | `1234 NW 19TH ST, FORT LAUDERDALE` | | `assessedValue` | `412000` | | `judgmentOrOpeningBid` | `287443.12` | | `soldTo` / `plaintiffMaxBid` | populated on completed sales where shown | | `sourceUrl` | deep link to the county auction page | | `rawFields` | every label/value pair as published, untouched | ### Coverage 25 Florida counties on the standard RealAuction URL pattern, including Broward, Miami-Dade, Duval, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Lee, Brevard, Volusia, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee, Marion, Escambia and more (full list in the input form). Counties on custom platforms can be added via the `customSites` input. Per-county failures never kill a run — they're isolated and reported in `RUN-SUMMARY`. ### Monitoring mode (the recurring workflow) Set `newOnly: true` and schedule the actor daily. Each run returns **only auctions that weren't there yesterday** — a true new-listings feed. Wire it to Slack/email/webhooks with Apify integrations and you have an auction alert service for your buy-box counties. ### Pricing Pay per auction record delivered. A weekly 5-county scan typically returns a few hundred records — you pay only for what comes back, no subscription, no seat license. Compare: enterprise distressed-property data services run $100–600/month for the same counties. ### Legal & sourcing Auction calendars and sale results are **public records** published by Florida county clerks for public participation. This actor accesses only public, login-free pages, at low request rates (max 2 concurrent pages), and bypasses no access controls. Data is provided for informational purposes; verify all figures against the clerk's record before bidding. Not legal or investment advice. ### FAQ **How fresh is the data?** Pulled live from the county auction site at run time. Schedule daily runs for a rolling fresh window. **Does it cover canceled/postponed sales?** Yes — the `status` field carries the site's live status string for each item. **Can you add my county/state?** Open an issue on the Issues tab — additional counties and states (GA, TX sheriff sales, NJ) are on the roadmap and prioritized by request volume. **Why do some records lack an address?** Some clerks publish only parcel + case for certain sale types; `rawFields` always contains everything the county published. Pair with a property-appraiser parcel lookup for full detail. # Actor input Schema ## `counties` (type: `array`): Florida counties to scan.
