IAAI Vehicle Detail Scraper — Salvage Cars, Damage, Bids & Images

Pull complete, structured vehicle records from IAAI salvage auctions in one run. Search by keyword, browse an entire category or make, or paste vehicle URLs — every matching lot comes back with its full detail record: VIN, year/make/model, primary and secondary damage, loss type, odometer, title brand & state, run‑and‑drive status, keys, actual cash value (ACV), repair estimate, branch location, auction date, current bid, buy‑now price and the complete image gallery.

Built for used‑car dealers, exporters, rebuilders, dismantlers, parts sellers, appraisers and market analysts who need salvage‑auction data as clean JSON, CSV or Excel instead of clicking through hundreds of listings.

✨ Why use this scraper

• Full detail on every vehicle — not just the summary you see on a results page. Each record carries 60+ fields covering identity, specification, condition, damage, title, location, sale and media.
• Three ways to target vehicles — free‑text keyword search, whole‑category / whole‑make browsing, or a direct list of vehicle URLs / IDs.
• Damage & salvage intelligence — primary and secondary damage, loss type, run‑and‑drive, starts, airbag state, vehicle grade and estimated repair cost. Exactly the fields a rebuilder or exporter prices a car on.
• Auction & money fields — actual cash value (ACV), minimum bid, current bid, buy‑now price, bid increment, auction date, sale lane and branch.
• Complete image galleries — every photo URL for each lot, plus the 360° view link when available.
• Clean, typed output — numbers as numbers, booleans as booleans, ready for spreadsheets, databases and BI tools.
• Export anywhere — JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or via the Apify API and integrations.

📈 Getting more results

• Each keyword and each category / make returns up to 100 vehicles. To collect more, add more keywords, makes and categories — for example split by make (Ford, BMW, Toyota) or by body type (Cars, SUVs, PickupTrucks).
• Use several specific keywords (Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Honda CR-V) instead of one broad term to reach more unique vehicles.
• Provide vehicle URLs / IDs when you already have a watch list.

---

🗂️ Supported categories & makes

Use any of these in the Categories or makes field. You can mix categories and makes freely.

🎯 Tips for best results

• Be specific. Honda Accord returns more relevant, unique vehicles than a broad Honda. Precise year/model/trim keywords work well (2018 Honda Accord Sport).
• Split large jobs. Because each keyword or category returns up to 100 vehicles, break big pulls into several targeted queries — by make, by body type, or by model.
• Combine inputs. Mix searchKeywords, categories and vehicleUrls in one run to cover a whole buying strategy at once.
• Keep a watch list. Store the id or url of vehicles you care about and pass them back in vehicleUrls to re‑scrape their latest bid and status.
• Filter after export. Pull a wide net, then filter the dataset on primaryDamage, lossType, runAndDrive, titleType, odometer and actualCashValue in your spreadsheet, database or BI tool.
• Schedule it. Salvage inventory changes daily — schedule the run to keep a fresh feed and track how bids and ACV move over time.

🔌 Run it your way

• Apify Console — fill in the form and click Start.
• API — start runs and pull the dataset programmatically.
• Scheduler — run daily or hourly to keep a fresh salvage feed.
• Integrations — push results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, webhooks, S3 and more.

❓ FAQ

How many vehicles can I collect? As many as you like across multiple keywords, makes and categories. Each individual keyword or category returns up to 100 vehicles; combine several to scale into the thousands.

Do I need to log in to IAAI? No. The scraper collects the publicly visible detail on each lot. Some fields (for example a full unmasked VIN) are only shown to signed‑in IAAI members and are returned exactly as published publicly.

Which countries / markets are covered? US IAAI inventory. Use US residential proxies (the default) for reliable access.

Can I filter by damage, title or run‑and‑drive? Target them with keywords and categories, then filter the exported dataset (JSON/CSV/Excel) on fields such as primaryDamage, titleType, runAndDrive, odometer and actualCashValue in your spreadsheet or database.

Why is currentBid sometimes empty? Lots that have not yet received a bid, or whose bid is only shown to signed‑in members, return an empty current bid. All other sale fields (ACV, minimum bid, auction date, branch) are still included.

In what format is the data? Structured JSON by default, exportable to CSV, Excel, HTML and more.

Does it include vehicle images? Yes. Every record includes the full gallery of photo URLs (imageUrls), the image count, the main photo (primaryImageUrl), and the 360° view link when the lot has one.

Can I track how bids change over time? Yes. Schedule the run and keep the id/url of the vehicles you follow. Re‑scraping returns the latest currentBid, auctionStatus and auctionDate, so you can build a time series of bid and ACV movement.

How fresh is the data? Every field is read live from the vehicle's detail page at scrape time, and each record carries a scrapedAt timestamp plus the lot's own lastUpdated value.

Can I run this on a schedule or via API? Yes. Use the Apify Scheduler for recurring runs, or start runs and fetch the dataset through the Apify API and its integrations (Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, webhooks, S3, and more).
