Kaplans Scraper

What does Kaplans Auktioner Scraper do?

Kaplans Auktioner Scraper reads Kaplans.se item pages and returns the title, description, starting price, lowest acceptable price, sale status, category, auction name and date, and an image for each item. Give it exact item URLs, or leave them empty to automatically discover items currently up for auction.

Why use Kaplans Auktioner Scraper?

• Covers Kaplans, a Swedish auction house specializing in jewelry, watches, silver and classic objects.
• Returns both the starting price and the lowest acceptable (reserve) price.
• Includes sale status so you can tell active lots from already-sold ones.
• Works without needing to find item URLs yourself - discovers current items automatically.
• No account or API key.

What makes this different

Most auction scrapers return a single price. This Actor returns both Kaplans' starting price and its lowest acceptable price, plus a clear sale-status field, giving a fuller picture of where a lot stands.

Who can use the Kaplans Scraper and how?

• Jewelry and watch buyers: Track specific lots or categories as auctions approach.
• Price researchers: Study starting-vs-reserve price patterns for jewelry and classic items.
• Dealers and appraisers: Discover items by category to benchmark current auction estimates.
• Market aggregators: Pull Kaplans' catalog into a multi-auction-house comparison feed.

How it works

1. Your input — add exact item URLs, or leave them empty to discover current items
2. The Actor collects it — the Actor reads each item page's own price and metadata directly
3. Your output — you get one row per item, with starting price, reserve price and status

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it need a Kaplans account?

What does status mean?

It reflects whether the item has been sold yet, e.g. "Ej klubbad" means not yet sold.

How does automatic discovery work?

It reads Kaplans' own homepage for currently listed items and scrapes each one.

Do I need an account or login?

No. The Actor reads public data and needs no account or key.

Am I charged for failed runs or empty results?
