Copart Auction Lot Finder by Search URL

Turn Copart's public auction inventory into structured data. Paste a Copart search URL you built on copart.com, use the keyword and filter fields, or look up individual lots by number. Every record carries the vehicle identity, damage, title, bid, sale date, yard location, seller and photo URLs Copart publishes to anonymous visitors.

What this actor does

• Search the way Copart searches. Paste any /lotSearchResults URL and its keyword, filters and sort order are preserved — make, model, year, odometer, damage, title type, vehicle type, transmission, fuel, drive, body style, yard, auction name, Buy It Now and newly-added windows.
• Build a search from fields instead. Pick a keyword and any combination of filters, choose a sort order, and page through up to 100 lots per request.
• Look up individual lots. Supply lot numbers or Copart lot URLs and get the full detail record, including the condition-report damage items and the complete photo gallery.
• Choose the country site. United States, United Kingdom and Middle East inventory are supported for keyword searches; a pasted URL selects its own site automatically.
• Clean, omit-empty records. A field Copart does not publish for a lot is left out instead of appearing as null, an empty string or a placeholder.

Use cases

• Salvage sourcing — find repair candidates by make, model, damage and title type, then compare their current bids and Buy It Now prices.
• Pricing research — build a dataset of current bids, ACV and estimated retail values across similar lots and yards.
• Yard monitoring — track what is listed at specific Copart locations.
• Inventory archives — keep a structured snapshot of the auction pipeline for analytics, dashboards or downstream enrichment.
• Damage and title analysis — use the condition-report damage items, title group and title state to segment lots before a sale.

FAQ

How do I build a search? Use Copart's own search bar and filter panel on copart.com, then copy the URL from your browser into searchUrl. Every filter combination Copart supports on that page is preserved. You can also use the filter fields in this actor.

Why is the VIN partially masked? Copart masks part of the VIN on its public pages by design; the full VIN is only visible to signed-in members. This actor reports the masked value exactly as Copart publishes it.

Can I get the final sold price? No. Copart's public search and lot pages expose current bids and Buy It Now prices, but not a reliable final sale price after the auction closes. The actor does not guess or fabricate one.

Why do I get fewer unique lots than Copart's result count? Copart's default sort is not unique, so consecutive result pages can overlap. The actor removes duplicate lot numbers. The result count is therefore an estimate of the total, not a promise of that many unique lots.

What is the difference between acv and estimated_retail_value? acv is the Actual Cash Value used by the insurer; estimated_retail_value is Copart's automated retail estimate.

Does this work without cookies, a login or a proxy? Yes. No cookies, account or proxy setup is needed. The actor handles Copart's bot protection automatically and uses the cheapest working path. If Copart blocks a request, it falls back to a read-only public rendering mirror of the same public page.

Which countries are supported? The United States, United Kingdom and Middle East Copart sites are supported. A pasted URL selects its own site. Make, model, year, odometer, damage, fuel, title, yard, Buy It Now and newly-added filters work on all three sites. A few filters are regional: SUV classification and front/rear-wheel drive are US-only (UK maps all-wheel drive to 4x4), while body style and cylinder count are US/UK only (UK sedan/hatchback/estate/coupe/convertible styles are mapped from the US names). Unsupported filters are skipped and named in the run status message. Other Copart country sites use different public surfaces and are not guaranteed.

Why does a search row have one image but a details record has many? Search results expose a thumbnail, from which one full-size and one high-res URL are derived. Details mode calls Copart's photo endpoint and returns the complete gallery when it is available.

Why is a field missing from a record? Copart does not publish every field for every lot. Empty values are omitted rather than emitted as null or a placeholder. For example, a lot without a Buy It Now price simply has no buy_it_now_price key.

How current is the data? Each run reads Copart's live public data, so bids, sale dates and availability reflect the moment of collection.

Is this affiliated with Copart? No. This is an independent third-party actor that reads Copart's public pages and JSON responses. It is not operated by or affiliated with Copart.

Notes and limitations

• VINs are partially masked on all anonymous Copart surfaces.
• Final sold prices and bid history are not available from the public pages.
• Auction dates and bid amounts change between runs.
• The default Copart sort is not unique; duplicate lots are removed.
• Copart does not offer a working relevance sort; sale date is the default.
• Some filters are regional: SUV and front/rear-wheel drive are US-only; body style and cylinder count are US/UK only.
• Non-ASCII keywords are rejected because Copart's search ignores them and returns the full inventory instead of a relevant subset.
• The Middle East site exposes a thumbnail but not the full image gallery.
• When Copart blocks its photo endpoint, a details record carries the primary image and derived full-size/high-res URLs instead of the complete gallery.
• Blocked requests may be served through a read-only public rendering mirror (r.jina.ai); the mirror returns the same public page Copart serves.
