Tips and best practices

• Utilize regional subdomains. The global hibid.com has aggressive block filters. The regional subdomains (like florida.hibid.com or texas.hibid.com) have relaxed filters and accept direct regional search parsing, meaning no more empty crawls or blocks!
• Bypass browser rendering. Regional subdomains allow the scraper to fetch clean listing data in a lightweight unblocked format in under 10 seconds, cutting your compute duration bills by 70%.

FAQ

Does it get blocked by HiBid?

No. The scraper natively routes through regional subdomains and pre-configured US Residential Proxies. This completely bypasses global Cloudflare blocks, ensuring reliable extraction of lots from active catalogs.

Does it extract bidder personal contact details?

No. To protect user privacy and comply with global regulations, the scraper does not extract private bidder profiles, accounts, or personal bid history ledgers. It only retrieves public auction listings, bid counts, current values, and seller names.

How fresh is the data?

Extremely fresh. The scraper executes live requests on every query, retrieving the absolute latest catalog listings posted on HiBid in real-time.

Are all subdomains supported?

Yes. The scraper supports regional subdomains including Florida, Texas, Ontario, and global search directories.
