LiveAuctioneers Scraper — Lots & Prices Realized

Disclaimer: Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by LiveAuctioneers or its affiliates. Data is read from publicly accessible lot search and prices-realized results only. No login. You are responsible for complying with applicable law (including GDPR where personal data appears) and the site’s terms. No warranty on accuracy or availability. Provided for informational and research use.

Scrape public LiveAuctioneers lots for art, antiques, jewelry, watches, coins, and furniture. Each row is one lot: title, estimate, current bid or price realized, bid count, auction house, location, and the lot URL.

Dealers and appraisers use it as a LiveAuctioneers scraper and as an API alternative to copying catalogs by hand. Export JSON from the Apify dataset with Python, Node.js, cURL, or an MCP client.

When to use

Use this Actor when you need LiveAuctioneers lots in a dataset: a keyword such as rolex, a search URL, upcoming bids, or prices realized.

Use Heritage Auctions Scraper next for Heritage lots. Use eBay Sold Listings Scraper when you want marketplace sold comps for the same object.

Key features

• Keyword search for upcoming lots, up to 24 lots per page
• Prices realized for the same keyword
• Search URL, category URL, or a lot URL whose slug becomes the keyword
• Estimate, current bid, hammer, bid count, auction house, location, sale time, and lot URL
• Monitor mode: the first run stores fingerprints and writes no rows; later runs emit new lots and price changes
• Bidder identities and maximum bids are not saved

FAQ

Does this log in or place bids?

It reads public search results. Login and bidding stay on the auction site.

Why did a blank run save nothing?

A run with no keyword and no LiveAuctioneers URL does not download the whole site. Set a search or paste a search URL.

Where is the hammer price?

Set lotStatus to sold or all. priceRealized is the hammer on sold rows. Upcoming rows leave it empty when no hammer is posted.

What does monitor mode write on the first run?

The dataset stays empty. The run stores lot fingerprints. The next scheduled run writes new lots and price changes.
