See the full bid picture, not just the current price Get the current bid, the high and low bid, the final hammer price on closed lots, the appraisal estimate, and reserve status, all in one dataset. Most HiBid scrapers on Apify give you a single current-bid number and stop there.

💰 Full bid economics High bid, low bid, buyer premium, and bid count on every lot, open or closed.

📊 Appraisal estimates Low and high estimate ranges alongside the real bid activity, so you can spot a lot trading under value.

🔒 Reserve status See whether a lot's reserve has been met before you commit to bidding or build a forecast.

🗄️ Open and closed lots Build price history from closed auctions, not just whatever happens to be live today.

Get live and closed auction listings from HiBid.com in one run, with the bid economics most other scrapers leave out. No login required.

🔍 What does HiBid Scraper do?

HiBid is one of the largest online auction aggregators in North America, listing live and timed lots from thousands of independent auctioneers across farm equipment, estate sales, antiques, coins, and collectibles. This scraper pulls structured lot data so you can track prices and bidding activity at scale, instead of clicking through listings by hand.

Search by keyword or paste direct lot links. Every lot returns the current bid, the high and low bid, bid count, time remaining, buyer premium, reserve status, and an appraisal estimate range. Closed lots also carry their final hammer price, so a single dataset can cover both live monitoring and historical price research.

💡 Who uses this?

• I am an auction reseller tracking price benchmarks on specific brands, collectibles, coins, or machinery to decide what to bid on and flip.
• I am a liquidation researcher building price-forecasting indexes from historical hammer prices and appraisal estimates.
• I am a bidding analyst or collector monitoring active lots in a specific category, like coins or machinery, so I never miss one that matches my criteria.
• I am a price-intelligence analyst comparing current bids against appraisal estimates to spot lots trading under their real value before the auction closes.

🚀 How to use

STEP 1 Pick your lots Search by keyword, paste a direct lot search link, or filter by price range and auction status.

STEP 2 Get full bid data Every lot returns current bid, high and low bid, hammer price, buyer premium, and estimate range.

STEP 3 Track value over time Combine open and closed lots to build price benchmarks and your own valuation history.

✨ Tips

• Combine open and closed lots. Run once against open lots for live monitoring, then again against closed lots to build a historical price benchmark for the same keyword.
• Compare price against estimateMin/estimateMax. A current bid well under the low estimate is often the first sign of an undervalued lot.
• Watch hasReserve. A lot with its reserve unmet can still close with no sale, so factor that into any bid strategy you build on top of this data.
• Use buyerPremium and buyerPremiumPct together. The true cost of winning a lot is the bid plus the premium, not the bid alone.

❓ FAQ

Does this cover closed auctions, not just live ones?

Yes. Filter by auction status to pull closed lots, which include the final hammer price in priceRealized, alongside live lots for ongoing monitoring.

Does it extract bidder personal information?

No. This actor only retrieves public auction listings: lot details, bid counts, current values, and auction house names. It does not extract private bidder accounts or personal bid history.

How fresh is the data?

Every run fetches live data directly from HiBid at the moment it executes, so results reflect the current bid and status shown on the site.

Is scraping HiBid legal?

This actor reads publicly available auction listing pages, the same pages any visitor can view without logging in. You are responsible for complying with HiBid's terms of service and applicable laws. For questions or custom fields, contact the author at devanshtiwari365@gmail.com.
