How to scrape supported list pages
This Actor accepts individual product links in productUrls. It accepts category pages, search result pages, filtered result pages, and seller pages in categoryUrls.
- Open a supported list page in your browser.
- Choose a category, run a search, apply the filters, and open a seller page you need.
- Copy the final URL from the address bar and paste it into
categoryUrls.
The Actor follows the products shown on that page.
Add one or more List URLs to scrape. categoryUrls is labelled List URLs in the Console and accepts category pages, search result pages, filtered result pages, and seller pages.
Scrape GovDeals Search Pages
Pass a search results URL and the Actor collects the products that match your query. Example: https://www.govdeals.com/en/search?kWord=ford
Scrape GovDeals Filtered Result Pages
Pass a results URL with filters applied and the Actor collects only the filtered products. Example: https://www.govdeals.com/automobiles-cars/online-auction
Scrape GovDeals Seller Pages
Pass a seller page URL and the Actor collects the products that seller offers. Example: https://www.govdeals.com/en/search?companyName=District%20of%20Columbia%20Government%2C%20DC
Scrape GovDeals Category Pages
Pass a category URL and the Actor collects every product listed in that category. Example: https://www.govdeals.com/automobiles-cars
The scrapeProductDetails option (labelled Include product details) decides what each List URL produces. When it is enabled, the Actor visits each product page and returns the full detail records; when it is disabled, the Actor returns one list-level record per product card with the fields that are always included.

Pricing
This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Its running costs are included.
- Actor start: $0.02 once per run — One fixed charge for starting a run.
- Result: $0.00089 each ($0.89 per 1,000) — A product record collected directly from a supported list page.
- Product detail: $0.00199 each ($1.99 per 1,000) — A full product record collected from its product page.
The start charge applies once per run. Each saved product is charged either as a Result or a Product detail, never both.

The Actor accepts the following input parameters:
| Field | Type | Description |

Integrate with AI and automation
Use with AI through MCP
Connect your AI assistant to the Apify MCP server. It can discover and run Actors, then access the results in the same conversation. For example, ask your assistant to scrape a list of products from GovDeals, compare prices, or summarize the collected data.
Run on a schedule
After one successful run, use Apify Schedules to repeat the same task hourly, daily, weekly, or with a custom cron schedule. Saved tasks are useful when you want to keep the same URLs and settings for every run.
Connect with n8n
Create an n8n account and add the verified Apify node to a workflow. Choose Run an Actor and Get Dataset when the workflow should start this Actor, wait for completion, and receive the product rows for the next node. See the Apify integration for n8n.
Connect with Make
Create a Make account and add the Apify Run an Actor module. Follow it with Get Dataset Items to pass the product rows to Google Sheets, a database, email, or another Make module. For longer runs, use Watch Actor Runs followed by Get Dataset Items.
