Italy Property Auctions API - PVP Judicial Auctions in English

One clean English row for every Italian judicial auction. Filter by region, city, category and price band, or pass specific announcement IDs, and get analysis-ready investor leads from Italy's official Ministry of Justice auction portal (pvp.giustizia.it - the Portale delle Vendite Pubbliche): base price, minimum offer, the discount vs base price, occupancy status, sale date and offer deadline, coordinates, court, and the direct links to the official bidding sites - decoded from the register's internal codes into one consistent schema.

Italy runs the largest judicial-auction market in Europe - hundreds of thousands of court-ordered sales of apartments, commercial buildings, land, vehicles, machinery and company shares flow through the PVP register. But the register speaks an undocumented internal dialect: sale types are cryptic codes (SENIN, VENDAS), occupancy arrives as truncated flags (LIBER/OCCUP), categories are SCREAMING_SNAKE Italian, some sale dates are data-entry junk (the register really contains auctions dated year 3019 - this Actor flags them), and the number an investor actually wants - how far below the base price the minimum offer sits - is never given. The few existing Italy auction scrapers dump raw Italian from third-party aggregator sites. This Actor reads the official register itself and does the hard part: decodes every code to English, normalizes dates and money, derives the discountPctVsBase signal, resolves occupancy, and returns one consistent row per auction with the official bidding links attached.

✅ What you get / ❌ what this isn't

This Actor gives you	This Actor is not
One normalized row per auction, English-labeled, identical shape every time	Not a raw Italian pvp.giustizia.it dump
Economics decoded: base price, minimum offer, bid increment, derived discount %	Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Ministry of Justice or any court
Occupancy resolved: FREE / OCCUPIED / UNKNOWN	Not investment, legal, or bidding advice
Sale schedule: sale date/time, offer deadline, junk-date flag	Not a guarantee that every auction exposes every field
Search by region (English names work: Tuscany, Sicily...), city, category, price band	Not real-time - reflects the register's publication cadence
Direct links to the official listing & telematic bidding sites per auction	Not a bidding or escrow service - you bid through the official channels

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• This Actor reads the public official register (pvp.giustizia.it, Portale delle Vendite Pubbliche, Ministry of Justice). It is not affiliated with the Ministry or any court and returns only data already public there.
• Not investment or legal advice. Occupancy, descriptions, and procedure details are reproduced from the register; verify every lot with the official documentation before bidding.
• Field coverage varies. Older or movable-goods auctions may lack coordinates, images, or occupancy flags; occupancyStatus is then UNKNOWN.
• Some register dates are junk. A few sale dates are court data-entry errors (year 3019 and similar); they are flagged with saleDateSuspect: true, not silently dropped.
• Deep pagination is capped by maxResults (up to 1,000 per run); narrow by region, category, or price band for bigger pulls.
• Data reflects the register's publication cadence, not real time.

❓ FAQ

What is the Portale delle Vendite Pubbliche?

pvp.giustizia.it is the Italian Ministry of Justice's official register of court-ordered sales: real-estate foreclosures, bankruptcy liquidations, and movable-asset auctions from every Italian tribunal. Publication there is mandated by law, which makes it the single most complete source of Italian judicial auctions - and this Actor turns it into clean, English-labeled investor leads.

What is discountPctVsBase?

It is the gap between the base auction price (prezzo base d'asta) and the minimum acceptable offer (offerta minima), as a percentage. Italian procedure commonly allows offers down to 75% of base, so 25% is typical - and repeated failed auctions push the base itself far below market. Always verify the lot before acting.

Why does occupancy matter?

An OCCUPIED property may involve a lengthy legal process before you can use it; a FREE one is immediately available. The register encodes this in truncated per-item flags; this Actor resolves them into one occupancyStatus per auction.

Can I search all of Italy?

Yes. Leave region empty for the whole country, or set a region in Italian or English (Lombardia or Lombardy, Toscana or Tuscany) plus an optional city.

How do I actually bid?

Through the official channels only. Each row carries listingSites[] with the auction's official listing pages and the telematic bidding site (type: "bidding") registered for that sale.

Does it need a proxy?

No. The PVP register is a public official source served reliably to datacenter IPs. Enable Apify Proxy only for very large batches.
