## 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`).

Get live and closed auction listings from HiBid.com in one run, with the bid economics most other scrapers leave out. No login required.

### 🔍 What does HiBid Scraper do?

HiBid is one of the largest online auction aggregators in North America, listing live and timed lots from thousands of independent auctioneers across farm equipment, estate sales, antiques, coins, and collectibles. This scraper pulls structured lot data so you can track prices and bidding activity at scale, instead of clicking through listings by hand.

Search by keyword or paste direct lot links. Every lot returns the current bid, the high and low bid, bid count, time remaining, buyer premium, reserve status, and an appraisal estimate range. Closed lots also carry their final hammer price, so a single dataset can cover both live monitoring and historical price research.

### 💡 Who uses this?

- **I am an auction reseller** tracking price benchmarks on specific brands, collectibles, coins, or machinery to decide what to bid on and flip.
- **I am a liquidation researcher** building price-forecasting indexes from historical hammer prices and appraisal estimates.
- **I am a bidding analyst or collector** monitoring active lots in a specific category, like coins or machinery, so I never miss one that matches my criteria.
- **I am a price-intelligence analyst** comparing current bids against appraisal estimates to spot lots trading under their real value before the auction closes.

### ✨ Tips

- **Combine open and closed lots.** Run once against open lots for live monitoring, then again against closed lots to build a historical price benchmark for the same keyword.
- **Compare `price` against `estimateMin`/`estimateMax`.** A current bid well under the low estimate is often the first sign of an undervalued lot.
- **Watch `hasReserve`.** A lot with its reserve unmet can still close with no sale, so factor that into any bid strategy you build on top of this data.
- **Use `buyerPremium` and `buyerPremiumPct` together.** The true cost of winning a lot is the bid plus the premium, not the bid alone.

### ❓ FAQ

##### Does this cover closed auctions, not just live ones?

Yes. Filter by auction status to pull closed lots, which include the final hammer price in `priceRealized`, alongside live lots for ongoing monitoring.

##### Does it extract bidder personal information?

No. This actor only retrieves public auction listings: lot details, bid counts, current values, and auction house names. It does not extract private bidder accounts or personal bid history.

##### How fresh is the data?

Every run fetches live data directly from HiBid at the moment it executes, so results reflect the current bid and status shown on the site.

##### Is scraping HiBid legal?

This actor reads publicly available auction listing pages, the same pages any visitor can view without logging in. You are responsible for complying with HiBid's terms of service and applicable laws. For questions or custom fields, contact the author at <devanshtiwari365@gmail.com>.

Direct category or search page links (e.g. 'https://florida.hibid.com/lots/?query=laptop'). Overrides queries.

Filter by HiBid's `filter` URL param. ONLINE = online-only lots, CLOSING = lots ending soon, FEATURED = highlighted lots.

Filter by HiBid's `status` URL param. OPEN = currently bidding, CLOSING = ending in <24h, CLOSED = auction ended.

Keep only lots that have finished bidding. Open and closing lots are dropped from the output.

## `onlyWithRealizedPrice` (type: `boolean`):

## `debugLogging` (type: `boolean`):

Print granular tracing tags (API, FETCH, EMIT) to the run logs.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

US Residential proxy is the verified default for reliable public HiBid results. Requests use a small JSON payload, keeping proxy bandwidth low.

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,getascraper/hibid-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
