Who Uses IAAI Salvage Data?

• Dealers and rebuilders — source damaged inventory by make, model, or region before auction day
• Parts resellers — track incoming salvage lots to plan part-out purchases
• Insurers and appraisers — benchmark actual cash value against comparable salvage listings
• Data teams — feed structured auction inventory into pricing or demand models
• Exporters — filter by branch location to plan regional pickup logistics

How IAAI Scraper Works

1. Pick a keyword, a list of states, or leave both blank to browse all live inventory.
2. The scraper walks IAAI's search results page by page until it hits your maxItems cap.
3. Each listing is parsed into a clean record — VIN, damage, odometer, title type, and more.
4. Records are deduplicated by stock number, so overlapping state filters never produce duplicate rows.

Input

{
  "searchQuery": "tesla",
  "states": ["Texas", "California"],
  "maxItems": 50
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	—	Keyword to search for (e.g. "tesla", "f-150", "civic")
states	array	—	Limit results to these states/provinces. Leave empty to browse all live inventory
maxItems	integer	20	Maximum number of vehicle records to extract

Leave searchQuery and states both empty to browse IAAI's full live inventory, newest auction date first.

A note on VIN and bid amounts. IAAI masks the last six characters of the VIN and hides live/current bid amounts for visitors without a buyer account, so those two data points aren't published on the listing pages this actor reads — this actor doesn't fabricate them. Everything else — damage, odometer, title type, sale date, and branch — comes straight from the listing.

FAQ

How do I scrape IAAI salvage listings?

Run IAAI Salvage Vehicle Auction Scraper with an optional searchQuery or states filter and a maxItems cap. Leave both filters blank to pull from IAAI's full live inventory.

Can I filter by state?

Yes. Pass one or more values in states (e.g. ["Texas", "Florida"]) and the scraper collects matching listings from each state in the same run, deduplicated by stock number.

What data can I get from IAAI?

Stock number, partial VIN, year/make/model, primary and secondary damage, odometer, title type, run-and-drive status, sale date, actual cash value, and branch location. Live/current bid amounts and the full VIN require an IAAI buyer account and aren't part of this dataset.

How much does IAAI Salvage Vehicle Auction Scraper cost to run?

Pricing is pay-per-event on the Apify platform — check the actor's pricing tab on Apify for the current per-record rate.
