What people use it for

Two lot datasets in one actor

Only lots that are actually listed on invaluable.com are returned (the same visibility rules the site's own search applies), so every lot_url opens a real lot page. Searches larger than one query can reach are split by date automatically, so maxItems really is the number of rows you get (up to 100,000 per run).

What actually arrives in a row

A lot row has 92 fields. Every rate below was measured on the Apify platform on 1 Oct 2026 on a stratified sample: 16 searches (painting, ring, chair, coin, vase, print, silver, sculpture, rug, clock, porcelain, bronze, book, watch, lamp, poster) in each mode, n = 1,020 sold and 1,020 upcoming lots from 138 auction houses in 12 countries. We do not promise a field we have not measured.

Always there: 100% in both modes

lot_id · lot_ref · lot_number · lot_url · title · description · status · sale_type (Live / Timed) · auction_date (ISO, UTC) · auction_date_local · currency · current_bid · bid_count · watcher_count · supercategory · category · house_name · house_ref · catalog_ref · location · country · image_url

Sold lots (past)

Upcoming lots (upcoming)

Money is always in the lot's own currency, with currency on every row (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, JPY and more). We never convert silently.

A zero in the source is not a price. Invaluable stores "no estimate" and "no result" as 0; this actor delivers them as null, so an average of price_realized is never dragged down by fake zeros.

Full lot page data: optional, charged separately

Turn on scrapeDetails to open each lot page and add what only the page has. Measured on n = 120 lot pages (60 sold, 60 upcoming; paintings, rings, chairs):

A lot page takes about 1.5 s, so it is off by default and billed as its own event, only when the page is read successfully. Lot page data may be reused for up to maxCacheAgeDays (default 7); such rows say so in detail_from_cache and detail_fetched_at.

Auction houses and artists

Set outputType to get a directory instead of lots, one row type per run:

• auctionHouses: name, ID, country, logo and number of upcoming lots for each of about 6,900 auction houses. Filter by countries or keyword.
• artists: name, first/last name, aliases, genres, total, upcoming and past lot counts and followers, for about 259,000 artists.

Pricing

Pay per event. You never pay for an error row, a duplicate or a failed page.

1,000 sold lots with prices realized = $4.70. With full lot pages = $7.70. Duplicates are removed within a run. If you set a maximum cost for the run, the actor stops cleanly at it and never delivers a row it did not charge.

Input

Every filter was checked against the rows it returns on the platform: category, country, auction house, artist, sale type, estimate, price and date filters matched 100% of the delivered rows in our test runs, and every sort order came back in order. Keywords return lots that actually contain the word (typo matches such as "patent" for "patek" are left out).

Privacy

The seller on Invaluable is a registered auction house, a business. Auction house names, addresses and logos are business data and are included.

Bidders are people, and no bidder identifier ever leaves this actor: the site exposes the IDs of watchers, bidders and winners, and we deliver only counts (watcher_count, bidder_count) and a has_winner flag. Never the IDs, never anyone's maximum bid. We checked every row of every test run: zero bidder IDs.

The run also writes RUN_SUMMARY (delivered and charged counts) and ERRORS (pages that could not be read, never charged) to the key-value store.

FAQ

How do I get past auction results for one object? Put the object in keyword (e.g. tiffany lamp), keep searchMode = past, and optionally set sortBy = relevance. Each row has the price realized and the estimate side by side.

Can I get prices realized for one artist? Yes: set artist (e.g.

Pablo Picasso

Are prices converted to USD? No. Each row keeps the lot's own currency in currency. With full lot pages, usd_conversion_rate gives the site's rate when available (66.7% of lot pages). Note that sorting by price compares the raw numbers across currencies.

Why do some sold lots have an auction date a few days ahead? Some houses publish results under the catalog's closing date. The date is what Invaluable shows; we do not alter it.

Can I get every lot ever sold? maxItems goes up to 100,000 per run and the actor splits big searches by date. For more, schedule runs by date range.

What happens if my search has no results or my input is wrong? The run ends green with one error row that says why, and no lot is charged.

Is the data fresh? Search results are read live on every run. Only the optional lot page data can come from a cache, and those rows say so.

Can I schedule it or call it from my code? Yes: Apify schedules, the API, and integrations (Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, webhooks) all work with this actor.
