FAQ

Can I get historical sold prices? Yes. Set Auction status to Sold results to get over 26,000 completed auctions with hammer prices.

Why is the sold price empty for some sold lots? Some sellers hide the final price; the current bid at the end of the auction is still included.

What currency are prices in? currentBid and soldPrice are in the lot's local currency (currency); priceUSD, priceEUR and priceGBP give converted values.

What formats can I export? CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, HTML and RSS, or read the results through the Apify API.

Can I integrate Collecting Cars Scraper with other apps? Collecting Cars Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JS/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

Is it legal to scrape Collecting Cars? The scraper only collects publicly listed auction information. You are responsible for using the data in line with Collecting Cars' terms and applicable law.
