Why use this scraper?

  • Live & completed auctions — current bids, hammer prices, reserve status, bid counts
  • Auction outcomes — sold/unsold status with final prices and end dates
  • Reserve intelligence — reserve met, not met, nearly met, or no-reserve flags
  • Ready to use — Clean, normalized JSON/CSV/Excel output. No coding required.

How to use

  1. Click Try for free on Apify
  2. Set a make filter (or leave empty for all makes)
  3. Click Save & Run — default settings scrape listings in under 60 seconds

How it works

The scraper extracts data from two sections of The Market website:

  • Live auctions — scrapes /auctions/live for currently active lots (single page)
  • Completed results — paginates through /auctions/results for historical auction outcomes

Both sections are parsed from rendered HTML using listing card elements. Year filtering and make filtering are applied client-side.

Use cases

  • Bid monitoring — Track live auctions and bidding activity in real time
  • Price discovery — Compare online auction prices vs. traditional live auctions
  • Market timing — Identify buying opportunities in weekly timed sales
  • Reserve analysis — Monitor reserve-met rates across different segments

Cost & performance

  • Speed: ~20 listings per minute
  • Proxy: Datacenter proxy included (no extra cost for most runs)

Integration

Export data as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Connect to Google Sheets, Slack, email, or 1,500+ apps via Apify integrations.

Schedule runs weekly to track each new auction cycle.
