Server instructions

BidProwl aggregates live US government surplus auctions (GovDeals, GSA, Public Surplus, Purple Wave and more) and their sold prices. Use search_listings to find live lots, get_listing for one lot, sold_comps for what similar items sold for (sold_comps_batch for many at once, get_sold_history for the individual sales), and flip_score for a lot's deal score. get_api_usage reports the key's remaining quota for free. Bidding happens on the source site linked in each listing.
