The Auction.com API provides structured access to US distressed real estate from Auction.com, the largest online marketplace for foreclosure, bank-owned (REO), and auction properties. Search nationwide inventory, retrieve full property and auction details, and track live bid activity through clean JSON endpoints.
What You Can Access
Property search runs nationwide through /advance-search with filters for state, city, county, ZIP, beds, baths, square footage, price, occupancy status, auction format, financing availability, interior access, broker co-op, property type, and product type. You can also search within a single ZIP code or resolve an existing Auction.com search URL into results, and /locations-autocomplete returns valid city, county, and ZIP values for building search UIs.
Listing endpoints return full property detail by ID or by URL, including specifications, media, and pricing. Auction-centric data is where this API stands apart: /auction-details bundles the auction schedule, venue, trustee, live bid state, and property summary in one call, /auction-status returns live auction and bid state for tracking active sales, and /upcoming-auctions lists what is going under the hammer next in chronological order.
Supporting endpoints include curated recommendation rows, the marketing tag taxonomy (for flags like “Hot Property” or “Just Added”), and a complete /enums reference of accepted filter values and response-field vocabularies.
