Bring A Trailer Auctions Scraper

Extract structured data from Bring A Trailer (BaT), the leading online marketplace for enthusiast vehicles. Scrape live and completed auctions with current bids, final sold prices, reserve status, seller, location, mileage, VIN/chassis, and full descriptions.

Perfect for market research, price analysis, collector-car valuation, dealer sourcing, and building automotive datasets.

What you can scrape

• Category pages - trucks, motorcycles, parts, and more
• Specific listings - pass any listing URL for a full detail record

• Fast HTTP scraping (no browser), works at scale

FAQ

Does this work without login? Yes. It scrapes public auction data, no Bring A Trailer account required.

Can I get sold prices? Yes. Keep includeSold on and completed auctions return the final soldPrice and soldDate.

How do I scrape only one model? Use the model page URL as a start URL, for example https://bringatrailer.com/porsche/911/.

Is this affiliated with Bring A Trailer? No. This is an independent tool for extracting publicly available data. Please respect BaT's terms of service and use the data responsibly.
