📈 Performance & limits

  • Disable "Enrich with detail pages" for faster basic data collection

💡 Tips for best results

  • Use specific keywords: "BMW E30 M3" works better than just "BMW"
  • Browse page URLs (e.g. /porsche/911/) return the most recent completed auctions for that model
  • Direct listing URLs give you full data for a specific auction

❓ FAQ

Can I get active/ongoing auctions? Active auctions require a BaT account. This scraper focuses on completed auctions which are publicly accessible.

How far back does the data go? BaT has auction results going back to their early years. Browse pages show the most recent results first.
