Catawiki Scraper

Extract auction lots from Catawiki — Europe's curated auction marketplace — with current bids, expert estimates, reserve status, closing times, and seller info.

What does Catawiki Scraper do?

Scrape live auction data from Catawiki across all categories: watches, art, jewelry, classic cars, wine, coins, and collectibles. Search any keyword or paste a category URL and get structured data ready for deal-finding, market research, or price tracking.

Catawiki publishes the expert estimate for every lot in its page JSON. This Actor extracts both the current bid and the expert estimate range, giving you a direct comparison for spotting undervalued lots.

Technical details

• Fetches search pages and lot detail pages server-side — no browser
• Extracts from Next.js __NEXT_DATA__ and the internal batch endpoint buyer/api/v3/bidding/lots
• Uses Dutch residential proxies (pre-configured) — Catawiki serves clean content to EU residential IPs
• Two-phase extraction: search page for lot IDs and titles, then batch API for pricing in groups of 50
• No named third-party anti-bot vendor — IP-reputation filtering only

Known limits

• Catawiki only exposes live lots. Once a lot closes, it disappears from search.
• Bidding API is undocumented. Apify Actor auto-falls back to search-page data (id, title, image, URL) when the batch endpoint returns nothing, so the dataset is never empty.
• Discount comparison requires expert estimates. Not every lot has published low/high estimates.

FAQ

Do I need to configure proxies? No. Dutch residential proxies are pre-configured.

Can I scrape any category? Yes — search any keyword or paste any category URL.

How do I find the best deals? Sort by discountPct descending and filter by closingTime within the next 24 hours.

What if currentBid is null? The lot's detail page didn't surface price data and the batch API missed it. The listing still appears with id, title, image, and URL.

How do I export data? After a run, go to Storage → Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.
