IAAI Scraper

Pull complete salvage-vehicle records from IAAI (Insurance Auto Auctions) at scale — VIN, year/make/model, primary and secondary damage, title status, odometer, drivetrain specs, actual cash value, auction date, branch location, and high-resolution photos. Paste vehicle detail URLs or bare stock numbers and get one clean, flat row per lot. Built for used-car dealers, exporters, rebuilders, parts resellers, and insurance & valuation analysts who need structured salvage-auction data without opening every IAAI lot page by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• Full vehicle links or bare numbers, mixed in one run — paste a full VehicleDetail URL, or just the number from that URL (e.g. 41180634), in any combination; the link is the surest input.
• 40+ structured fields per vehicle — VIN, year, make, model, series, actual cash value, primary and secondary damage, title status, title state, loss type, and more, each as its own column.
• Primary AND secondary damage plus loss type — three distinct damage signals per lot, not a single lumped field, so you can filter front-end vs. rear-end vs. flood at a glance.
• Up to ~16 HD photo URLs per lot, each with a matching thumbnail — full-resolution hdUrl for inspection, small thumbUrl for grids, delivered as ready-to-use links (no downloads).
• Actual cash value, current bid, and Buy Now price as clean numbers — dollar amounts parsed to numeric ($2,725 USD → 2725) so you can sort and total without string cleanup.
• Flat one-row-per-vehicle schema — no nested vehicleInfo wrapper; every field is top-level and drops straight into Google Sheets, Airtable, or a CRM.
• Branch, selling branch, and full pickup address for every lot — plan transport and staging with the exact yard, city, state, and lane/run/aisle location.
• Sold or removed lots skip cleanly — a lot that has already been auctioned is reported and passed over, never crashing a run or billing you for an empty row.
• Normalized, no-noise output — .NET dates converted to ISO 8601, empty sentinel values dropped, so every row is analysis-ready.

Getting Started

Single Vehicle

The simplest run — one stock number:

{
    "vehicles": ["41180634"]
}

Multiple Vehicles, Mixed Input

Paste URLs and bare stock numbers together — both work in the same list:

{
    "vehicles": [
        "https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetail/41180634~US",
        "46034719",
        "46031179"
    ]
}

Full Options

Cap the run and skip photos for a faster, tabular-only export:

{
    "vehicles": [
        "https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetail/46034719~US",
        "46034713",
        "46029523"
    ],
    "includeImages": false,
    "maxResults": 100
}

Input Reference

Vehicles

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
vehicles	string[]	["https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetail/41180634~US"]	The vehicles to look up — one per line. Paste the full vehicle link (e.g. https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetail/41180634~US), or just the number from that link (e.g. 41180634). Note: a bare number must be the one in the vehicle's web address, not the "Stock #" printed on the lot page — those can differ, so paste the link when unsure.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includeImages	boolean	true	Include full-resolution and thumbnail photo URLs for each vehicle. Turn this off for faster, tabular-only results.
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of vehicles to return. Set to 0 for no limit (up to 50,000 vehicles per run). Start small to test, then increase.

Each vehicle produces one flat row. Here is a representative result with photos enabled:

Tips for Best Results

• Copy the full vehicle link for the surest results — a bare number works too, but it has to be the number in the vehicle's web address (URL), which isn't always the same as the "Stock #" shown on the page. When in doubt, paste the link straight from the lot.
• Run soon after a lot is listed — sold or removed lots drop off IAAI and return no data, so time-sensitive watchlists should be pulled while lots are still live.
• Turn off photos when you only need the table — set includeImages to false for faster runs when you're building a spec or pricing sheet and don't need image links.
• Start with a small batch to test — set maxResults to 5-10 on your first run to confirm the fields match your workflow, then scale up.
• Filter on primaryDamage and secondaryDamage together — combine the two damage fields to isolate lightly damaged, resellable units from heavy-hit parts cars.
• Compare actualCashValue to currentBid — the gap between ACV and the live bid is the fastest signal for spotting underpriced lots in a big batch.
• Paste your whole watchlist at once — mix URLs and stock numbers in one vehicles list and get a single comparison table back.

Pricing

From $2.00 per 1,000 results — the lowest tier undercuts comparable IAAI detail extractors. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.24	$0.225	$0.215	$0.20
1,000	$2.40	$2.25	$2.15	$2.00
10,000	$24.00	$22.50	$21.50	$20.00
100,000	$240.00	$225.00	$215.00	$200.00

A "result" is one vehicle row in the output dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
