Wine Auctioneer Auction Scraper

Scrape Wine Auctioneer — the online fine-wine auction platform from the team behind Whisky Auctioneer — for live auction lots and past-auction sold prices (comps).

What it does

Live mode (default)

Scrapes every lot in the currently running auction, including real-time bid data:

• Lot number, title, and URL
• Current bid (GBP) and number of bids placed — pulled from the site's live bidding API, so values are up-to-the-second
• Next minimum bid amount and reserve price
• Auction name and exact auction end time (ISO 8601)
• Producer, vintage, wine type, varietal, classification, region, sub-region, country, closure (detail enrichment, on by default)
• Bottle size and ABV
• Seller location (UK / EU / USA warehouse)
• Bottle image

Optional keywords filter the live catalogue server-side (e.g. bordeaux, romanee-conti).

Past mode (sold-price comps)

Searches ended auctions by keyword and returns the winning bid (hammer price) for each sold lot — ideal for building fine-wine price histories, valuation models, and investment comps across Lafite, DRC, Petrus, Sassicaia, Champagne, Burgundy, and thousands of other bottles.

If no auction is currently live, live mode automatically falls back to past-auction comps so runs always return data.
