## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Nellis Auction Product Search Scraper: Extract Auction Listings Instantly

***

### What Is Nellis Auction?

Nellis Auction (nellisauction.com) is a major online liquidation and auction platform offering surplus inventory, overstock, and wholesale products across multiple categories. With thousands of active listings and frequent updates, manually tracking products, prices, and bidding activity is impractical. The **Nellis Auction Product Search Scraper** automates this process, delivering structured data that turns raw auction listings into actionable intelligence.

***

### Overview

The **Nellis Auction Product Search Scraper** extracts detailed product listings from Nellis Auction's search results, supporting two flexible scraping modes:

1. **URL-based scraping** — Scrape pre-built search result URLs directly
2. **Filter-based scraping** — Search using keywords, location, price range, ratings, and sort options

This scraper is ideal for:

- **Resellers & wholesalers** sourcing products and monitoring competitor activity
- **Price aggregators** building real-time pricing datasets
- **Market researchers** analyzing liquidation trends and inventory availability
- **eBay & Amazon sellers** finding bulk sourcing opportunities

Key features include configurable item limits, flexible sorting, multi-criteria filtering, and optional URL failure handling for uninterrupted bulk runs.

***

### Input Format

The scraper supports two input methods:

#### Method 1: Scrape by URLs

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://nellisauction.com/search?Location+Name=SW+Las+Vegas",
    "https://nellisauction.com/search?query=a&Suggested+Retail=100&Suggested+Retail=500&Star+Rating=4.0&sortBy="
  ],
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "ignore_url_failures": true
}
```

**URL Format Notes:**

- Extract URLs directly from Nellis Auction search result pages
- URLs encode filters as query parameters (e.g., `Location+Name`, `Suggested+Retail`, `Star+Rating`)
- Leave `keyword`, `location`, `sort_by`, `rating`, and `price_range` empty when using URLs

#### Method 2: Scrape by Search Filters

```json
{
  "keyword": "electronics",
  "location": "SW Las Vegas",
  "price_range": "100-500",
  "rating": "4.0",
  "sort_by": "current_price_asc",
  "page": 0,
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "ignore_url_failures": true
}
```

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | string | Search keyword (e.g., "electronics", "furniture") |
| `location` | string | Auction location name (check URL format: e.g., "SW Las Vegas", "North Las Vegas") |
| `price_range` | string | Filter by estimated retail price range in format `min-max` (e.g., "100-500") |
| `rating` | string | Filter by seller/item star rating: `5.0`, `4.0`, `3.0`, `2.0`, `1.0`, or empty for all |
| `sort_by` | string | Sort results by: `current_price_asc`, `current_price_desc`, `time_remaining_asc`, `time_remaining_desc`, `retail_price_asc`, `retail_price_desc`, `bids_asc`, `bids_desc`, or empty (Featured) |
| `page` | integer | Start from page number (0-indexed) |
| `max_items_per_url` | integer | Maximum items to collect per URL/search (default: 20, max: 200) |
| `ignore_url_failures` | boolean | If `true`, continues scraping if some URLs fail; if `false`, stops on failure |

### How to Use

#### Quick Start (URL Mode)

1. **Navigate Nellis Auction** — Browse to nellisauction.com and perform a search with your desired filters
2. **Copy search URLs** — Grab the full URL from your browser (it will include encoded parameters)
3. **Paste into scraper** — Add URLs to the `urls` array in the input JSON
4. **Set item limit** — Adjust `max_items_per_url` (max 200 per URL)
5. **Enable error tolerance** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` for bulk runs
6. **Run scraper** — Execute and monitor progress

#### Advanced (Filter Mode)

1. **Define search criteria** — Specify `keyword`, `location`, `price_range`, `rating`, `sort_by`
2. **Set pagination** — Use `page` parameter to scrape results starting from a specific page
3. **Configure output** — Set `max_items_per_url` to control dataset size
4. **Run** — Let the scraper generate search URLs and collect data automatically

#### Best Practices

- **Combine modes strategically** — Use URLs for specific searches, filter mode for exploratory scraping
- **Monitor Bid Count & Price** — High bid counts indicate competitive lots; combine with time remaining for market timing
- **Check Returnability** — Filter results where `Not Returnable: false` if you need flexible purchasing terms
- **Use Location data** — Some resellers prioritize shipping zones; filter by `Location` for regional analysis
- **Sort by time remaining** — Use `time_remaining_asc` to identify listings closing soon (good for last-minute deals)

***

### Use Cases & Business Value

- **Sourcing optimization:** Identify fast-moving products, price trends, and competitive lot pricing
- **Reseller intelligence:** Monitor competitor sourcing and adjust bidding strategies
- **Price benchmarking:** Compare retail vs. auction prices to calculate margins and ROI
- **Inventory tracking:** Track when specific product types become available
- **Market research:** Analyze liquidation patterns by category, location, and seller rating

The scraper transforms Nellis Auction's unstructured web interface into clean, analyzable data — enabling smarter sourcing decisions and faster deal identification than manual browsing.
