🏁 PCARMARKET Scraper

Extract lots from PCARMARKET, the online auction site for Porsches and other collector cars, plus parts, wheels, signs, memorabilia and watches. Get auction results (over 19,000 lots, 11,000+ sold, with the final price or the high bid), lots for sale now after their auction (buy now or make an offer), or live auctions, in one clean table.

Each lot comes with:

• Final price, how it sold (auction, buy now or offer), the high bid, reserve met / not met / no reserve, starting bid and buy now price.
• Every bid: amount, bidder and time, plus the number of bids, bidders and watchers.
• For vehicles: VIN, mileage, transmission, colors, title and Carfax status, the Carfax report link, seller type, keys, track use, exterior and interior ratings, and the whole condition report (paint work, current issues, service records, modifications, factory options, ownership history, seller notes...).
• For watches: reference, case, bezel, bracelet, crystal, dial, movement, condition and what is included.
• Location, description, every photo, the lot link, and the auction start, end and sale times.

✨ What it does

• Results, for sale now, or live auctions. Results give the final price or the high bid; for sale gives the buy now price and whether offers are accepted; live gives the current bid.
• Search the way you think:
  • Search terms ("GT3 RS", "Speedster", "Fuchs wheels", "Rolex"), several per run.
  • Category: vehicles, parts & memorabilia, watches.
  • Make, model and model year range.
• Or paste pcarmarket.com links of lots (auction, results or marketplace pages). The filters are ignored with links.
• Every useful filter:
  • Sold, not sold, for sale, live, all results or everything.
  • Manual or automatic, max mileage (kilometers converted), clean title, clean Carfax.
  • Seller type (dealer or private), country, No reserve only, minimum bids.
  • Auction end date range: exact dates, or periods like "6 months" or "2 years".
  • Price range in USD, and words to exclude.
  • 6 sort orders: newest or oldest, ending soonest, most bids, highest or lowest bid.
• New lots only. For scheduled runs: saves only lots the same search has not saved before.

🏆 Why this scraper

• The whole PCARMARKET archive. Every lot the site has, not just the current page of results.
• The full lot in every row. Bid history, condition report, VIN and every photo are always included, at no extra cost.
• Real final prices. Lots sold after the auction by buy now or offer get the price they actually sold for, not the last bid.
• Fast. About 1,000 lots in 15 seconds.
• No proxy needed. Nothing extra to set up or pay for.

⚙️ How the input is organised

Section	What it's for
Maximum lots, What to scrape	Always first: caps the whole run (empty means no limit), and results, sold, not sold, for sale, live or everything.
What	Search terms, or links.
Vehicle	Category, make, model, model year, transmission, mileage, clean title, clean Carfax.
Seller and auction	Seller type, country, No reserve, minimum bids, auction end date range.
Price	Price range, words to exclude, sort order.
Monitoring	New lots only, with an optional monitor name.

Several values in one field widen the search (a lot matching ANY of your search terms, or ANY of your makes, is kept); different fields narrow it. Vehicle filters (make, model, year, mileage, transmission, title, Carfax) keep only vehicles. With links, the search terms and filters are ignored.

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: a one-time $0.003 when the run starts, plus a price per lot saved to your dataset that drops with your Apify plan. The bid history and the condition report are always included.

Your Apify plan	Per lot	1,000 lots
Free	$0.020	$20.00
Bronze	$0.018	$18.00
Silver	$0.016	$16.00
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.014	$14.00

Lots dropped by your filters are not charged. There are no proxy costs. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan a run saves up to 10 lots.

Speed: about 1,000 lots in 15 seconds. Filters PCARMARKET's search can't apply itself (model, transmission, mileage, seller type, country, title, Carfax, No reserve, price, words to exclude) are checked lot by lot, so a narrow one over the whole archive takes a little longer.

🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the PCARMARKET Scraper.
3. Type a search term (or keep the prefilled one), pick what to scrape and your filters, then click Start.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

You can also:

• Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.
• Schedule it with Apify's built-in Scheduler, with New lots only on, to catch new auctions and post-auction offers as they appear.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to PCARMARKET results through the Model Context Protocol:

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/pcarmarket-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language, for example "what did manual 997 GT3s sell for on PCARMARKET this year, and with how many miles?".

🔧 Troubleshooting

A lot sold above its high bid. It sold after the auction by buy now or offer. price is what it sold for, highBid the last bid, and soldVia says how.

A not sold lot has no price. Lots that did not sell have only a highBid. Lots still open to buy now or offers are for sale, with the buy now price in price.

"lots match" in the log is higher than what was saved. PCARMARKET's search can lag a few hours behind a lot's real status (an offer window that just closed, for example). Every lot is checked again, and those that no longer fit are left out.

Vehicle fields are empty on a lot. Parts, memorabilia and watches have no vehicle report, and older watch lots only have a description.

A make finds nothing. Makes must be spelled as PCARMARKET does ("Mercedes-Benz", "Land Rover"); the log warns when a make matches no lot. Search terms are more forgiving.

A scheduled "New lots only" run saved nothing. Nothing new matched since the last run. Changing terms, links or filters starts a fresh memory; set a Monitor name to keep it.

The log says PCARMARKET refused the server's IP address. The run restarts on another Apify server by itself, up to 3 times. If it still fails, run it again.
