Portugal Property Auctions API - e-leiloes Judicial Auctions

💵 $4.00 / 1,000 auction records. No actor-start fee. Platform usage included.

Structured, English-normalized data from e-leiloes.pt - the official national judicial e-auction portal of Portugal, run by OSAE (Ordem dos Solicitadores e dos Agentes de Execução). Real estate, vehicles, equipment, furniture and machinery sold through court-ordered (penhora / execução) auctions, turned into a clean investor-lead schema with the discount math, the judicial process and the enforcement-agent contact the raw portal never gives you in one place.

Blue ocean: nobody else exposes the official e-leiloes register as an API.

Why this Actor

• Official source. Straight from the OSAE portal, not a re-seller aggregator.
• Investor-ready fields. Appraisal value, minimum bid, opening bid, current bid and a derived discount vs appraisal % - the number distressed-asset buyers actually filter on.
• Motivated-seller / debt signals. Court, case number and the debtors (executados) with tax IDs (NIF), plus encumbrances (ónus) with amounts and dates.
• Lead contact baked in. The enforcement agent's name, licence (cédula), phone and email - a direct line to the person running each sale.
• Clean English. Portuguese asset types, subtypes and modalities mapped to English; two mixed response encodings handled transparently.
• Monitoring mode. Return only auctions you have not seen before, per district and asset type.

  "minValueEur": 50000,

Leave districts empty to search all of Portugal. assetTypes accepts English names (Real estate, Vehicle, Equipment, Furniture, Machinery, Right) or their numeric codes.

FAQ

Is this an official e-leiloes API?

No. It structures publicly available auction information and is not affiliated with e-leiloes or the Portuguese authorities.

Should I rely on the dataset for a bid decision?

Use it for discovery and analysis, then verify dates, conditions, documents, and bidding requirements on the linked official source.

Notes and limits

• The portal serves a fixed page size; large districts are paged automatically. Use maxResults to cap volume and cost.
• includeDetails adds one request per auction. It is optional and slower; leave it off for a fast, cheap headline scan. From Apify cloud, the official portal can intermittently time out on detail requests, so detail rows should be treated as best-effort until the portal is serving steadily.
• e-leiloes.pt presents an incomplete TLS certificate chain; the Actor verifies first and falls back to an unverified context only for this host.
• This Actor reads public auction notices that the portal publishes for transparency of court-ordered sales. It is an independent tool, not affiliated with OSAE or e-leiloes.pt, and does not place bids or submit anything to the portal. Respect the portal's terms and applicable law (incl. GDPR) when using debtor/agent personal data.
