gsa_search_auctions

Pack: gsa-auctions · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gsa-auctions/mcp

Search current US federal government surplus auctions from GSA Auctions (api.data.gov). GSA Auctions sells government surplus to the public — vehicles, machinery, aircraft, vessels, industrial equipment, electronics, etc. Filter active lots by property state (2-letter, e.g. “TX”), a free-text keyword matched against the item name (e.g. “truck”, “forklift”, “boat”), and/or auction status. Returns each lot with sale/lot number, item name, property location, sale location, start/end dates, status, high bid, reserve, number of bidders, item and image URLs. NOTE: the upstream API has no server-side category filter — use the keyword argument to narrow by item type.
