How to use Ansorena Auction Scraper

1. Open the actor and click Try for free (no credit card required for a test run).
2. Choose a scraping mode:
   • Paste one or more Ansorena URLs into Start URLs — the actor auto-detects the type (full auction, available lots, full history, or single lot).
   • Enable Active lots by category to scrape only currently available (unsold) lots, optionally filtered by category.
   • Leave everything empty to auto-discover and scrape the full historical auction archive.
3. Select categories (optional) — Joyas, Artes decorativas, Pintura, Escultura, Mobiliario, Obras en papel, or Plata.
4. Set Max lots — start with 24 for a quick test. Set 0 for no limit.
5. Enable detail page scraping if you need technique, full-resolution images, or the 500 px thumbnail. This adds one extra request per lot.
6. Click Start. Results appear in the Output tab in real time.
7. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or connect via the Apify API.

How much does Ansorena Auction Scraper cost?

Ansorena Auction Scraper uses pay-per-event (PPE) pricing — you pay only for results delivered.

Volume	Approximate cost
100 lots	~$0.15
1,000 lots	~$1.05
10,000 lots	~$10.05

Your $5 free trial credit covers approximately 4,900 lots. Run a quick test with maxLots: 24 first to verify the output format before scaling up.

Note on detail scraping: enabling scrapeDetailPage doubles the number of HTTP requests (one extra per lot), which slightly increases compute time but not the per-item price.

Architecture

Ansorena Auction Scraper uses Apify's CheerioCrawler to call Ansorena's SSR endpoints directly — no browser, no Playwright, no screenshots. The site uses Laravel server-side rendering with no JavaScript challenge or WAF, making extraction fast and reliable.

• Standard mode: 1 request per listing page (40 lots/page), fully paginated.
• Detail mode: 1 additional request per lot to retrieve technique, 500 px thumbnail, and full-resolution images.
• History mode: auto-discovers all past auction slugs from the /es/subastas-historicas index, then iterates through every session.

FAQ

Is scraping Ansorena legal? Ansorena Auction Scraper accesses only publicly visible listing data. No authentication is required or circumvented, and no personal data (emails, phone numbers, or private user information) is extracted. Always use scraped data in accordance with Ansorena's Terms of Service and applicable data protection regulations.

Do I need a proxy? No. Ansorena has no WAF or IP-based rate limiting. The actor works without a proxy for any volume. You can enable Apify datacenter proxy for very large or high-frequency runs as a precaution.

Are estimated prices extracted? Starting prices (startingPrice) are always available publicly. Estimated prices (estimatedPriceLow, estimatedPriceHigh) are only visible to authenticated Ansorena users — they will be null in an unauthenticated run.

Can I scrape multiple categories at once? Yes. In active-lots mode, select multiple categories — the actor launches a separate paginated search per category and merges the results. In start-URL mode, leave categories empty to get all categories from a given auction.

How do I get full-resolution images? Enable scrapeDetailPage: true. The actor will visit each lot's detail page and extract URLs from the /img/load/real/ endpoint (~1.8 MB per image). These URLs work without authentication.

How do I keep my dataset up to date? Schedule the actor on a weekly or per-season basis. Use scrapeActiveByCategory: true with categories: [] to always get the latest available lots, or pass the URL of the current auction season for incremental updates.
