FAQ

Are VINs complete? Copart masks the last VIN characters for non-members; the scraper returns what Copart exposes publicly.

Can I filter by damage, year or location? Perform the search on copart.com with your filters, copy the URL and pass it via startUrls. Keyword-based filtering also works well ("2020 tesla rear end").

Is this affiliated with Copart? No. This is an independent tool for extracting publicly available data. Please respect Copart's terms of service.
