Collecting Cars Scraper for Auction Lots, Bids and Results
Every Collecting Cars lot is a timed online auction with a public bid count, and sold lots keep their price in the Results archive. Our Collecting Cars scraper captures both.

To scrape Collecting Cars properly you follow each lot through three stages - Coming Soon, live and sold - and the live stage changes by the minute as the end time approaches. We build that crawler, run it and repair it when the site changes, so you receive rows, not code.
You choose the lot types, makes, regions or collections and the cadence; a common set-up is a tight pass over lots in their final hours plus a daily sweep of the Results archive. Anti-bot handling, pacing and proxy rotation come with the service. We start with a free assessment of your project, then a sample, and field documentation ships with every delivery.
Fields we extract from Collecting Cars listings
A Collecting Cars lot lives under /for-sale/ with a slug built from year, make and model, and the page splits into a specification panel, the seller's description and the bidding block. The slug is the row key we keep between runs. Fields we return:
- Lot identitytitle, slug and URL, lot type (car, bike, number plate or part), make, model and year, and the named collection a lot is grouped into, such as a single-marque sale.
- Specificationmileage exactly as written, with the site's Indicated qualifier and miles or kilometres, engine size, transmission, fuel type, left- or right-hand drive, exterior and interior colour, original market, registration and VIN.
- Location and currencytown and country of the vehicle and the currency the lot bids in, so pounds, euros and Australian, New Zealand or US dollars never end up in one unlabelled column.
- Biddingcurrent bid, bid count, time left and end time, and the views and watchers counters on the lot page.
- BadgesNo Reserve, Reserve Lowered, Boosted, Managed Sale and VAT-Q, the marker for a vehicle that is tax deductible for eligible buyers.
- Seller and checksseller type, private seller or trade seller, the HPI result line shown on UK-registered cars and bikes, and whether MOT history is linked.
- Description and mediathe seller's text under its own headings (Key facts, Equipment and features, Condition, Service history, Summary), the photo count, gallery groups for exterior, interior, mechanical and documents, and video links.
- Resultthe sold for figure and sale date once the auction closes, with its currency beside it.
Seller usernames, bidder names in the Bid History and the names of Collecting Cars staff attached to a lot are personal data, so we leave them out by default and keep the counts.
Collecting Cars auction results and sold prices over time
One lot page is a single moment in an auction. The useful dataset comes from the views around it and from repeating the pass.
- Live Auctions and Coming Soonthe live grid sorts by Ending soonest, Just Listed, Nearest, age and manufacturer, and Coming Soon shows lots before bidding opens, so a feed can catch a car the day it is announced.
- Results archivethe sold listings page gives title, year, make, location, sold figure and date for cars, bikes and number plates. That is where a sold-price series starts; where a result is not shown publicly, the row says so instead of guessing.
- Bid curve and price historysnapshots of current bid and bid count in the closing hours show how late bidding moves a price, and a Reserve Lowered badge that appears mid-auction is stored with the time we first saw it.
- Marques and collectionsShop by Marque pages and named collections let us pull one make or one curated sale across every region.
- Questionsthe public question thread under each lot, with text and timing but without usernames.

Collecting Cars is an online auction platform for enthusiast and collector vehicles that started in the UK, sold its first car in 2019 and describes itself as a 24/7 online auction. A seller submits the car, a market specialist gets in touch, the platform sends a photographer and writes the listing, and the seller sets a reserve before the lot goes live. A lot page names the consignment specialist handling it and states whether the seller is private or trade.
The brand is British, the stock is not. Live grids mix lots in Britain, continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the Gulf, and each lot bids in its region's currency: a Porsche in Knoxfield, Victoria runs in Australian dollars, one in Bielefeld in euros, and lots in Tokyo, Hong Kong or Dubai in US dollars. The site is available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Dutch, Chinese and Japanese.
Beyond cars it auctions motorcycles, cherished number plates and parts, and the home feed also carries watch auctions. Sellers who want no publicity can choose Sealed Bids or an off-market sale; those deals never reach the public grid, so a dataset covers the open auctions only.

Full plan detailsWhy scrape Collecting Cars auction data
An auction result is a price somebody paid, not an asking price, and on Collecting Cars it comes with the specification, mileage and bidding behind it.
- Valuation comparablessold figures by make, model, year and mileage give insurers, lenders and dealers evidence for pricing a car they plan to buy, insure or consign.
- Reserve strategyresults with and without the No Reserve badge, and lots that showed Reserve Lowered, show how the choice of reserve relates to the final price.
- Cross-border spreadsone model sold in pounds, euros and Australian dollars shows where it is cheaper to source after conversion, and the original market field separates a home-market car from an import.
- Attention versus moneyviews, watchers and bid count against the final figure separate cars that draw a crowd from cars that draw bids.
- Plates and bikesnumber plate and motorcycle results are markets of their own that a car-only feed would miss.
For dealers the Coming Soon tab doubles as a sourcing list: a car can be spotted, researched and budgeted before the first bid is placed.

Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
How Artificial Intelligence Is Used In Web Scraping
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
What is Web Scraping and What is it Used For?
Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.
Web Scraping for Machine Learning
If you specialize in machine learning, you need to feed large amounts of data to the algorithms. Web scraping is the easiest and the most efficient method of collecting the data from all over the Internet.
About ScrapeIt
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping service: we build, run and maintain the crawlers and deliver the dataset, one-off or on the schedule you set. Timed auctions shape how we work - the decisive data appears in the last hours of a lot and then moves to a results page - so runs are planned around end times rather than the calendar. Field documentation comes with every dataset, and a sample can be ordered first. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.
FAQ
Still unsure? Write to info@scrapeit.io
Do you offer a Collecting Cars API for live auction data?
Yes. The ScrapeIt Collecting Cars API returns the lot title, current bid, bid count, end time, the No Reserve and Reserve Lowered flags and the sold figure as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. You can also take the same rows as CSV or XLSX files, through a JSON feed or loaded straight into your database.
Can you get Collecting Cars sold prices for past auctions?
Yes, from the Results archive, which lists sold lots with year, make, location, the sold figure in the auction currency and the sale date. Each result links back to its lot page, so specification, mileage and bid count join to the price. Where a result is not shown publicly, the price column stays empty rather than estimated.
Does Collecting Cars show the reserve price?
No. The seller sets the reserve before the auction and the figure stays private. A visitor sees the No Reserve badge on lots without one and Reserve Lowered when the seller has reduced it; we record both flags with the time they appeared, so you can set them against the final price.
Is it legal to scrape Collecting Cars?
Yes. Lot pages, bid counts, badges and the Results archive are open to any visitor without signing in. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Collecting Cars - and we collect it legally. Seller usernames and bidder names are personal data under GDPR and stay out of the dataset by default.
Do you cover only Collecting Cars UK listings, or other regions too?
Every region the site lists. UK listings share the grid with lots in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the Middle East, each in its region's currency, so rows carry a country and a currency column and, if you want it, a price converted at the sale-date rate. A feed can also be limited to one country, one make or the plate auctions.
