🏎️ Gooding Christie's Scraper - Classic Car Auction Results

Extract every lot from Gooding Christie's (formerly Gooding & Company), one of the top collector car auction houses, with about 9,600 lots from 2004 to today: about 6,900 cars, 240 motorcycles and 2,500 pieces of automobilia, from Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, Scottsdale, London, Paris, Geneva, New York and online auctions. For each lot you get the sale price with buyer's premium, status (sold, not sold, upcoming, bidding open), low and high estimate, currency, lot number, year, make, model, chassis and engine numbers, coachbuilder, collection, auction, venue, date, no reserve, sales specialist, catalogue description, saleroom notices, highlights, specifications, provenance, exhibitions and concours awards, literature, video and every photo. Search with 12 filters, sort by price or year, or paste lot and auction links, and run it on a schedule to get only new lots.

✨ What it does

• The whole archive. About 9,600 lots since 2004, sold or not, plus upcoming sales. The site's search shows only 1,000 lots per search, so the Actor splits big searches by auction year, sale type, item type and venue to get every lot.
• 12 filters. Status (sold, not sold, upcoming), search terms, item type, make, model contains, model year range, price range, auction year range, venue, sale type, currency and no reserve only.
• 6 sorts. Newest or oldest auctions, price high or low, model year new or old.
• Full catalogue data. Each lot page is read for chassis, engine, coachwork, description, highlights, specs, provenance, exhibitions, literature and photos, at no extra charge.
• Or paste links. Lot pages and auction pages (every lot of that auction, in lot order). Filters are not used with links.
• Monitoring: run it on a schedule with Only new lots, and each run saves only the lots you haven't received yet.

🚀 Run it

4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML from the Dataset tab.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Apify MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client, then ask in plain words, for example: "Get every Mercedes-Benz 300 SL sold at Gooding Christie's, with price, estimate and chassis number". The agent runs this Actor and reads the results.

🔧 Troubleshooting

• The log shows more lots than were saved. The count in the log is the site's. Status, model and currency are checked by the Actor after the search, so fewer lots are kept.
• Search terms return similar words. The site's search is fuzzy, so "gullwing" can also find a Honda Goldwing. Use make and model for exact matches.
• A sold lot has no price. Some private sales are sold at a price the site keeps hidden, so price is empty.
• Prices are in different currencies. Each lot is in its auction's currency (currency): USD, GBP, EUR or CHF. The price filter and price sort use the number as it is, without converting.
• Price means sale price or estimate. Like on the site, the price filter and price sort use the sale price for sold lots, else the low estimate.
• Some fields are empty. Older lots often have no description, specs or video, and provenance and literature are only written for top cars.

❓ FAQ

How many lots are there? About 9,600 as of October 2026: about 8,450 sold, the rest not sold, upcoming or private sales, from about 420 makes.

Is the price with buyer's premium? Yes, price is the final price as Gooding Christie's publishes it.

Can I pick several makes or venues? Yes. Any lot matching one of the values you pick is kept, and duplicates are removed. "Mercedes" also finds Mercedes-Benz and the other Mercedes makes.

Do I need a proxy? No.
