Can I value a described item with the GovAuctions Data API?

Yes. The comps operation returns a sold-price range for a described item from the full surplus market, the trend operation returns its monthly median price, and the batch operation values several items in one request. Each valuation counts against your plan's valuation allowance.

What are the rate limits for the GovAuctions Data API?

Instead of fixed per-second limits, each plan carries a total call budget and a smaller valuation allowance, and the usage endpoint reports what remains for the month. Check https://govauctions.app for current plan budgets.

How do I search listings and value an item with the GovAuctions Data API through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'search surplus auction listings' and it returns the GovAuctions listing-search operation with its input schema, then search 'value an item' for the comps operation. Install Jentic One with `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh`, import GovAuctions from the API Directory, and store your key once. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with GovAuctions?

Yes. Write a rule that allows only the listing-search and valuation read operations, so the agent can research and value lots but cannot create or delete webhook subscriptions, and every call it makes is logged.

Is there a GovAuctions MCP server?

You don't need an MCP server to connect your agent to GovAuctions. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your credential once, and your agent discovers and calls the operations it needs on demand.
