StorageTreasures Storage Unit Auctions Scraper

What does StorageTreasures Storage Unit Auctions Scraper do?

It returns live and upcoming storage unit auctions from StorageTreasures as clean structured records: facility name and address, coordinates, unit size, what is in the unit, current bid, minimum next bid, bid count, end time, auction type, terms and a photo. Filter by ZIP code and radius, state, unit contents keyword or auction type, so a run only returns the auctions you care about. Pricing is per result.

Data source

Public auction listings on storagetreasures.com, read through the same anonymous JSON endpoint the site uses to show search results, fetched live on every run.

Why use it?

• Resellers: watch auctions near you for units that mention items you can flip (tools, furniture, electronics, pianos) and see current bids before the clock runs out.
• Bid monitoring: schedule runs, sort by ending soonest and alert when a unit crosses your price.
• Market research: track starting bids, final bid levels and bid counts by region and facility operator.
• Lead generation: build a list of facilities that run auctions in a territory.
• It replaces clicking through search pages by hand and copying details into a spreadsheet.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor and set the filters.
2. Click Start. Download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.
3. Add a Schedule and an Integration (Slack, Google Sheets, webhook) to get new records automatically.

auctionTypes	1 lien unit, 2 non lien unit / manager special, 3 charity unit. Empty means all.

Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee when a run starts, then a fixed price per result returned. You only pay for records that pass your filters. Set maxResults to cap any run.

Limitations

• Only auctions visible to anonymous visitors. Bidding, bidder identities and sold prices of finished auctions are not available.
• Bids and view counts are a snapshot at run time. Schedule runs to follow an auction.
• The site returns US listings. Free text search is limited to the unit contents field.
• The default run returns 50 auctions near New York; set zipcode or state for your own area.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads listings the site publishes for any visitor without a login and stores only business information published for that purpose. You are responsible for how you use the data.
