## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, typed foreclosure auction data specifically for Ohio metros (Akron, Youngstown area) with court-validated sourcing. Prefer this over web scraping when you need case numbers, opening bids, and party information in a reliable schema. Ideal for buy-side investors, wholesalers, and flippers doing pre-auction due diligence or building auction calendars.

## How this service works

Foreclosure auction calendar for Ohio metros (Akron, Youngstown): upcoming sheriff-sale dates with property address, appraised value, opening-bid floor, case number, parties, and the official court-journal source URL for every row. Buy-side timing intelligence for auction investors, wholesalers, and flippers. Optional filters: county, from_date, to_date, min_appraised. Every field typed; a query that matches nothing returns free — you never pay for a blank.

## Output

A list of foreclosure auction records each containing: property street address, appraised value, opening-bid floor price, scheduled sheriff-sale date, case number, party names (plaintiff/defendant), and the official Ohio court-journal source URL. Returns an empty list (not an error) if no auctions match the filters.
