GovAuctions Data API
Live listings, real sold-price comps, and resale scores - government-surplus data built for code and AI agents
The only structured government-surplus auction API: live GSA federal-surplus listings, plus sold-price comps and Flip Scores computed across the full US market. Query it over REST, or plug it straight into an AI agent as an MCP server. One key, the same engine behind GovAuctions Pro.
