Copart Auction Monitor — Salvage Lot Alerts for Dealers & Exporters

Monitor Copart's public auction inventory — new lots, primary/secondary damage, odometer, current bids, buy-it-now prices, ACV estimates, yard locations, auction dates — plus a watch mode built for scheduled pre-auction alerts. No login, no API key.

Salvage dealers live on speed — the good inventory moves days before the hammer falls. Poll your keywords on a schedule and see new lots the moment they hit the system.

What you can do

Mode	What it does	Best for
search	Lots by keyword or a pasted Copart search URL — damage, miles, bid, buy-it-now, ACV, yard, sale status	Inventory scans, arbitrage research
watch	Sweeps a list of queries/URLs each run, emitting lot_snapshot rows	Scheduled new-lot alerts per make/model/yard

FAQ

Do I need a Copart membership? No — this uses the public search API. Rows include masked VINs and bid state visible to anonymous visitors; bidding itself still requires a Copart account.

Can I use my Copart filters? Yes — build your filter on copart.com (year, damage, fuel, yard, auction type, "buy it now"), copy the lotSearchResults URL, and paste it in searchUrl. Filters carry over verbatim.

How do I catch new lots? Rows carry lotNumber — keep seen numbers in your pipeline and alert on first-seen. watch + Apify Schedules + webhook = a real alert loop.

What do the damage codes mean? primaryDamage/secondaryDamage come straight from Copart ("REAR END", "FRONT END", "WATER/FLOOD", "MECHANICAL", "BURN"...). saleStatus includes MINIMUM_BID/PURE_SALE/ON_APPROVAL/SOLD.
