Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration controlling which lots to scrape and how many:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.troostwijkauctions.com/en/c/transport-logistics/cars/5196727d-c14f-48dc-a2f0-e75f50094a52?page=2"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Input Fields Explained

Parameter	Type	Description	Example
urls	Array	One or more Troostwijkauctions lot search result URLs. Each URL points to a filtered category page, subcategory, or saved search query.	["https://www.troostwijkauctions.com/en/c/transport-logistics/cars/...?page=2"]
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, the scraper continues if a URL times out or fails. If false, the run halts on first failure.	true
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum number of lots to extract per URL (e.g., 20, 200). Limits API calls and output size.	200

Best practices:

• Use specific category or filter URLs to target relevant lots (e.g., transport/logistics, real estate by region)
• Set max_items_per_url based on your needs: lower values (20–50) for quick scouts, higher (100–200) for bulk analysis
• Always enable ignore_url_failures for production runs to prevent interruptions

How to Use

1. Find search URLs — Navigate to Troostwijkauctions.com and apply filters (category, location, price range, seller). Copy the result page URL.

3. Run the scraper — Execute the actor and monitor progress via logs.
4. Export & analyze — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Load into spreadsheets or databases for further processing.

• Find deals: Scrape newly listed lots (filter by start date) and alert on items below a price threshold.
