Wilson Auctions Lots Scraper: Extract Auction Item Data at Scale

---

What Is Wilson Auctions?

Wilson Auctions is a leading online auction platform specializing in real-time asset sales across multiple categories including vehicles, equipment, machinery, and real estate. With thousands of active lots and frequent auction cycles, manual data collection is impractical. The Wilson Auctions Lots Scraper automates the extraction of auction item details, enabling you to build datasets for analysis, price tracking, and market intelligence.

---

Overview

The Wilson Auctions Lots Scraper extracts comprehensive lot information from Wilson Auctions search result pages, transforming raw auction data into structured, analyzable records. It is designed for:

• Auction analysts monitoring market trends and pricing patterns
• Vehicle dealers tracking inventory and competitor pricing
• Fleet managers evaluating equipment availability and condition
• Data researchers building auction market datasets
• Investment professionals analyzing asset depreciation and value cycles

Key strengths include pagination support via filtered search URLs, configurable item limits, and robust error handling to continue collecting even when individual URLs fail.

Input Format

The Actor supports two scraping modes — use only one at a time:

1. Scrape by URLs — scrape data directly from a list of Wilson Auctions lot search result URLs.

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.wilsonsauctions.com/lots?fs_class=%5B%22car%22%5D&fs_page=5#lots"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

2. Scrape by search filters — scrape data using a keyword and additional filters (location, category, sort order, etc.) instead of providing URLs.

{
  "keyword": "a",
  "location": "Queensferry",
  "category": "general-class",
  "sort_by": "End date",
  "page": 1,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

There is also a General settings group that applies to both modes.

1. Scrape by URLs

Use this mode when you already have specific search result URLs. When this mode is used, all options in the "Scrape by search filters" section will be disabled.

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array	(required)	Links to Wilson Auctions lot search result pages. You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list. Each URL can target a specific class, category, location, or page. Add multiple URLs for multi-page or multi-query runs.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	If true, the scraper skips failed URLs and continues; if false, the run stops on the first failure. Recommended: true for bulk operations.

2. Scrape by search filters

Use this mode when you want to search using a keyword and additional filter attributes instead of scraping by URLs. If you use this mode, leave the urls field above empty.

Field	Type	Default	Description
keyword	string	—	The keyword to search for.
location	string ("", Queensferry, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, Newcastle, Oxford, Portadown, Newport, Telford)	—	The auction location to search. "" means All.
category	string ("", car, household, general-class, cosmetics, industrial-equipment, clothing, shoes, footwear, ring, bikes-cycling-equipment)	—	The lot category to search. "" means Any.
sort_by	string (Best match, End date, Newly listed)	—	Sort order for the search results.
page	integer	—	The page number to start scraping from.

3. General settings

Applies to both scraping modes above.

Field	Type	Default	Description
max_items_per_url	integer	20	The maximum number of lot records to collect per URL/search. Prevents excessive data collection while allowing controlled sampling. Increase to 100, 200, etc. for broader datasets.

URL Construction Tips (for Scrape by URLs mode)

• By class/category: Use fs_class=%5B%22car%22%5D for vehicles; adjust the class name for household, equipment, real estate, etc.
• By page: Add &fs_page=2 to fetch a specific result page.
• Filtered searches: Combine filters (price range, location, status) in the URL to narrow the scope.

How to Use

1. Identify target search URLs — Visit Wilson Auctions, apply filters (class, category, price, location), and copy the resulting URL.
2. Extract filter parameters — Note the query string (e.g., fs_class=%5B%22car%22%5D). You can adjust page numbers with &fs_page=.
3. Build the input JSON — Paste URLs into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url to control scope (20–200 typical).
4. Enable error tolerance — Set ignore_url_failures: true to prevent interruptions in bulk runs.
5. Run the scraper — Initiate the actor and monitor the log for completion.
6. Download and process — Export results as JSON or CSV for analysis, import into Excel or databases.

Best practices:

• Use smaller max_items_per_url values (20–50) for initial test runs.
• Break large requests into multiple scraper runs by page or filter to avoid timeouts.
• Set ignore_url_failures: true when scraping multiple URLs to ensure fault tolerance.
