When to use this Actor

• Live lot watch — current bid, next bid, and closing time on lots that are still open
• Reserve check — whether a reserve is set, and whether the page says it is met
• Expert estimate — low and high estimate when the lot page publishes one
• Seller shop — public shop name, country, and reputation score
• Scheduled new-lot monitor — monitorMode on an Apify Schedule so repeat runs only charge lot ids you have not already stored
• Category or auction pull — paste a category or auction URL instead of a keyword

When not to use this Actor

• Sold marketplace comps — use eBay Sold Listings Scraper for completed sales of the same watch, card, or object
• US specialist auctions — use Goldin Scraper or Heritage Auctions Scraper
• Live shopping shows — use Whatnot Listings Scraper
• Placing bids or logging in — this Actor only reads public auction data

Key features

• Keyword, category, auction, and lot URL in one Actor
• Current bid from the lot page, plus closing time, reserve, and seller shop
• Expert estimate when the lot page includes one. Many lots leave it empty
• Monitor mode stores seen lot ids in a named key-value store and skips them on the next run
• HTTP catalog — no browser. Leave proxy off unless a run starts returning HTTP 403
• Related filler lots are dropped and are not charged
• Deduped rows across several searches in the same run

FAQ

Does this Catawiki scraper log in or place bids? No. It reads public search, category, auction, and lot pages.

Is the current bid on the search card? The catalog list does not include the live bid. Each saved row opens the lot page and stores the bid shown there.

Why is the expert estimate empty? Many lots do not publish an estimate. The fields stay empty instead of a guessed number.

What does monitor mode charge? A later run charges only lot ids that were not stored in the named key-value store. A page that is already entirely known stops that search, so an empty tick does not open lot pages.
