Saatchi Art Original Art Listings Scraper

Scrape original artwork listings from Saatchi Art — the world's largest online marketplace for original art with over 1 million original artworks across paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture and more.

What it does

This actor paginates through Saatchi Art listings and returns a complete, structured record for each artwork — every field comes from the listing index, with no second fetch per piece.

Output fields per artwork:

• Artwork ID, title, and direct URL
• Artist name, location, and profile URL
• Category, style(s), subject, medium(s), and materials
• Price in USD (original listing price)
• Sold/available status and print availability
• Dimensions in cm and inches, orientation
• Primary image URL (reference only — not rehosted)
• Upload date as ISO timestamp

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
maxItems	integer	10	Maximum artworks to scrape. Blank uses the default of 100; 0 means no limit. The site serves at most 10,000 results (400 pages) per listing URL, so for larger catalogues supply several narrower URLs (e.g. a style or medium page).
startUrls	array	—	BYO Saatchi Art listing URLs (category, filter, or style pages). If empty, uses category.
category	string	paintings	Category to scrape when startUrls is not set.

Available categories: paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, sculpture, mixed-media, fiber-arts (mixed-media fiber works), drawings-pastels (pastel drawings)

Example startUrls values:

• https://www.saatchiart.com/paintings — all paintings
• https://www.saatchiart.com/paintings/abstract — abstract paintings only
• https://www.saatchiart.com/photography/portrait — portrait photography

Use cases

• Art market analytics — price benchmarking across styles, mediums, and categories
• Artist discovery — build datasets of emerging artists by location and speciality
• Portfolio research — monitor availability and pricing across the primary art market
• Style and trend analysis — track which styles and subjects are active on the market
• Academic research — study art market pricing patterns across 1M+ listed works

Notes

• Image URLs are reference links to Saatchi Art's CDN — the actor does not download or rehost images
• Prices reflect the USD listing price; Saatchi Art may display different prices by region
• Field changes: year_created was renamed to listed_at — it always held the date the artwork was listed on Saatchi Art, and the site publishes no creation year. The constant is_original field was removed: every record is an original artwork listing, and has_prints / min_print_price show whether print editions are also offered. availability (avail, sold, unavail) was added; is_sold is null when the site reports unavail.
• artist_location is the artist's country only (about 95% of records); the site publishes no city
• Low resource usage, so large sweeps stay cheap
