Catawiki Product Search Scraper: Extract Auction Items & Bidding Data

---

What Is Catawiki?

Catawiki.com is Europe's leading online auction platform for rare, unique, and collectible items. It hosts millions of active and closed auctions across categories like watches, art, vintage items, and collectibles. From casual collectors to professional resellers, users rely on Catawiki's data-rich listings. Manually searching, filtering, and extracting this information is tedious — the Catawiki Product Search Scraper automates discovery and data collection, delivering structured auction intelligence instantly.

Overview

The Catawiki Product Search Scraper extracts comprehensive product listings from Catawiki's search results and auction pages. It supports two scraping modes:

1. URL mode — Scrape items directly from Catawiki URLs
2. Search mode — Find items by keyword and apply multiple filters

Perfect for:

• Price researchers tracking trends across collectible categories
• Resellers monitoring competitor listings and pricing strategies
• Market analysts studying auction dynamics and item valuations
• Data scientists building datasets for predictive models

Key features include multi-filter support (price range, condition, period, location), flexible sorting, pagination, and graceful error handling.

How to Use

Option A: Scrape by URLs

1. Navigate to Catawiki.com and find search results or category pages you want to scrape.
2. Copy the full URL (e.g., https://www.catawiki.com/en/s?q=vintage+watches).
3. Paste URLs into the urls array.
4. Set max_items_per_url (e.g., 100 or 200).
5. Enable ignore_url_failures: true for robust multi-URL runs.
6. Run the scraper and export the results.

Option B: Scrape by Search Filters

1. Leave the urls array empty.
2. Enter a keyword (e.g., "vintage watches", "art deco").
3. Apply optional filters:
   • sort_by: "bidding_end_desc" (Ending Soon) or "published_at_desc" (Newest)
   • price_range: "100-5000" (€100–€5k)
   • location: "de" (Germany), "nl" (Netherlands), etc.
   • condition: e.g., "71611" (As new), "165438" (Good – visible wear)
   • period: e.g., "70506" (1990-1999), "70568" (1900-1949)
   • page: Start from page 2 or later if paginating
4. Set max_items_per_url (pagination limit per page).
5. Configure proxy settings for stability.
6. Run and collect results.

Tips:

• Use RESIDENTIAL proxy with country matching your target items for best results.
• Combine multiple filters for precise targeting (e.g., Italian vintage watches under €2k, as-new condition).
• Increase max_items_per_url for comprehensive datasets; be mindful of runtime.
