πŸ”§ Features Overview

auctions-scraper collects auction schedules with these features:

  • Automatically visits auction websites based on predefined sources

  • Saves data into files such as CSV or Excel for easy viewing
  • Updates data regularly to keep you informed of new auctions

The app aims to simplify the process of gathering auction data so you can focus on what matters: analyzing and making decisions.

πŸš€ How to Use auctions-scraper

After installation, follow these steps to run the application and collect auction schedules:

  1. Open the auctions-scraper program from your desktop, Start menu, or applications folder.

  2. On the main screen, you will see a button to start data mining. Click Start.

  3. The app will begin visiting auction websites automatically. This may take a few minutes depending on how much data is available.

  4. Once finished, the app will save the collected auction schedules to a file on your computer. You will see a confirmation message showing where the file is located.

  5. Open the saved file with spreadsheet software (like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets) to view and analyze auction details.

The output file contains rows of auction data with columns such as:

  • Auction name
  • Auction date and time
  • Property address or description

This layout lets you quickly scan and find auctions of interest. You can also sort or filter the data in your spreadsheet software.

  • Choose the output file format: CSV or Excel

  • Restart the app and try again.
