Catawiki Auctions Scraper
Scrape Catawiki auction lots from any search query, up to a million per run. Every lot comes with its title, price, description, and auction details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your search term. It may be too specific or misspelled. Try a broader term or remove filters.
Why is the run slow?
The Actor respects Catawiki's rate limits. If you need many lots, increase the maxItems and allow more time.
Why are some fields empty?
Some lots may not have all details filled in by the seller. The Actor returns what is available on the page.
Can I scrape a specific auction?
