Steps

  1. Review publicsurplus.com and its buyer-facing mobile app (Public Surplus Buyers App) for any documented developer/API access
  2. Confirm no public API documentation was found; available access is limited to the website and a consumer/agency mobile app
  3. Note the platform is operated by The Public Group and charges buyers a commission rather than charging agencies to list
  4. For anything requiring automated/programmatic access, contact The Public Group directly (support@thepublicgroup.com) rather than assuming self-serve developer docs exist
  5. Distinguish Public Surplus from GovDeals (a separately covered platform with its own client API) — they are different companies with different technical access models
