IAAI Scraper for IAA Salvage Auction Vehicles

IAA puts a stock number, a loss type and a start code on every vehicle it auctions for insurers. Our IAAI scraper reads those pages branch by branch before the sale takes them down.

IAAI Scraping Without Running a Crawler

IAAI scraping is work we do for you end to end. You name the scope - all branches or a few, a vehicle category such as Cars, SUVs, Heavy Trucks or Motorcycles, an auction channel, a make list, a damage or title filter - and the schedule. We build the crawlers, keep them running and fix them when IAA changes a page.

iaai.com turns plain automated requests away, so proxy rotation, request pacing, rendering and CAPTCHA handling are included. We read the site as a guest and never sign in: live bidding and the imagery reserved for Premium Guest and Registered Buyer accounts stay out, and the seller field stays masked as a guest sees it. Start with a free assessment or a sample; deliveries come as CSV, XLSX, JSON or JSONLines by SFTP, to Amazon S3 or Google Drive, or through an endpoint we host.

Fields Our IAAI Data Scraper Extracts

IAA does not call its unit a lot. Each vehicle gets a stock number, and its detail page is addressed by an internal id with a country suffix. The page is laid out like an adjuster's file, and we keep its sections as field groups:

  • Vehicle information - stock number, selling branch, the VIN as shown to guests (closing characters masked) with its status, loss type, primary damage and secondary damage, title/sale doc with the issuing state, its brand and notes, start code, key, odometer with its qualifier and airbags.
  • Vehicle description - year, make, model and series, vehicle type, body style, engine, transmission, drive line type, fuel type, cylinders, restraint system, exterior and interior colour, country of manufacture.
  • Sale information - vehicle location, auction date and time with time zone, lane and run number, aisle and stall, and who can bid: public, dealer, dismantler, rebuilder, exporter and the other buyer classes.
  • Values - Actual Cash Value, Estimated Repair Cost and the Buy Now Price where the seller has set one.
  • Status - the state shown beside the auction date, such as Pre-Bid, and the time pre-bidding closes.
  • Media - addresses of the photos a guest can open. The interactive walk-around view and the engine start video belong to upgraded accounts and are not collected.

The start code deserves its own column. IAA grades every arrival as Run & Drive, Starts or Stationary and prints the grade beside the key and airbag status. Read together with the loss type - collision is one value among several - it tells a rebuilder more than the damage location does, so we never fold these fields into a single condition string. Lane, run, aisle and stall are kept as separate columns and stay empty until the page shows them.

IAAI Price History, Sale Lists and Branch Calendars

IAAI Price History, Sale Lists and Branch Calendars

The vehicle page is one of five public layers, and the other four are what make the data usable for planning.

  • Sale lists - each branch publishes a list per auction day, headed by the branch, the time of the last update and the vehicle total, with every stock and its lane.
  • Auction calendar - for each day, the branches that sell, the start time, the state of the sale and two counters: total vehicles and how many of them are Run & Drive.
  • Branch pages - address, phone, office and yard hours, the standing auction slot, preview hours, payment deadlines, the free storage period and the daily storage fee after it.
  • Search and category listings - inventory by vehicle category and make, by channel (Live Auctions, Timed Auctions, Buy Now, Public Auctions, Dream Rides, Rec Rides, Specialty, Virtual Lane) and by New Inventory window, which is how fresh stock is picked up within a day of being listed.

A price history on IAA has to be built by observation. A vehicle that fails to sell in its first run can come back with a Buy Now Price, move to another auction date or change lane, and after the sale its page is eventually taken down. Runs repeated against the stock number keep each reading, so you see how long a vehicle stayed in inventory and how its public figures moved. IAAI prices in the bidding sense - current and winning bids - are not shown to guests.

About IAA (iaai.com)

IAA - Insurance Auto Auctions, today part of RB Global and run from Westchester, Illinois - sells total-loss, damaged and low-value vehicles for insurers, rental and fleet companies, dealerships and charities. People type iaai because that is the domain; the company signs itself IAA.

The site is organised around branches, not around a national catalogue. A vehicle belongs to a selling branch, the branch has a fixed weekly auction slot, and the sale list for that slot is the real unit of supply. On top of the branch auctions sit themed channels: Timed Auctions, Buy Now for vehicles that did not sell in their first run, Public Auctions for stock available to the public, Gov Auctions, Dream Rides for classic and exotic cars, Rec Rides for motorcycles and powersports, Specialty for trucks, trailers and RVs, and Virtual Lane, which is open round the clock.

What a guest sees is generous on description and closed on money. Damage, loss, title document, start code, odometer and Actual Cash Value are public; the seller is masked and bids appear after sign-in. This page covers the US inventory on iaai.com. IAA's header also links to separate sites for Canada (ca.iaai.com), the United Kingdom (iaai.co.uk) and Australia (iaai.com.au); each is scoped as a project of its own.

Why Scrape IAAI Inventory Before It Sells

Supply at IAA is announced days ahead and removed after the sale, which is the whole case for collecting it on a schedule. What the data is used for:

  • Sourcing for rebuilders and exporters. Start code, key, airbags, primary damage and title/sale doc decide whether a vehicle is worth a bid. A daily table across branches replaces opening sale lists one by one.
  • Parts demand. Dismantlers follow series, engine and loss type to find donor vehicles for the models they break.
  • Total-loss benchmarking. Actual Cash Value against Estimated Repair Cost, by model year and damage location, shows where the write-off line is being drawn.
  • Regional supply. Calendar counters and sale lists give vehicles per branch per week, the figure that transport, storage and catastrophe-response teams plan around.
  • Buy Now monitoring. Vehicles that return with a set price form a small, fast market of their own.
  • Salvage records. Photos, damage and odometer at the time of auction, kept against the stock number, for products that document a vehicle's salvage past.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Used In Web Scraping

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?

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 builds and operates crawlers as a service and hands over the finished table. For salvage auctions that means reading many branch sale lists every day, joining them to vehicle pages on the stock number and keeping earlier readings instead of overwriting them.

Branches, insurers and dealers are businesses and appear as the site shows them. Branch managers are named on IAA's location pages; those names and e-mail addresses are personal data, and under GDPR we leave them out by default.

FAQ

Do you offer an IAAI API for auction vehicle data?

Yes. The ScrapeIt IAAI API returns stock number, selling branch, loss type, primary damage, start code, title/sale doc, Actual Cash Value and auction date as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. If you prefer files, the identical table is delivered as CSV, XLSX or JSONLines, or loaded into your database.

Is it legal to scrape IAAI?

Yes. Vehicle pages, sale lists, the auction calendar and branch pages on iaai.com open without an account. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on IAA - and we collect it legally. Bidding and the upgraded imagery sit behind sign-in, and we do not go there.

Which IAAI auction prices are visible without an account?

Three figures: the Actual Cash Value, the Estimated Repair Cost and, where the seller has set one, the Buy Now Price. Current bids and winning bids are not shown to guests, so they are not in the dataset. What repeated runs add is the movement of the public figures and of the auction status for each stock number.

Can you cover every IAA branch and its sale lists?

Yes. The branch directory gives us every location, and for each one we collect the branch page, the upcoming sale lists and the vehicle page of every stock on them. A project can also be limited to chosen states or branches, to one vehicle category, or to channels such as Timed Auctions and Buy Now.

How fresh does IAA inventory data need to be?

Daily is the working minimum. New stock arrives continuously and is picked up through the New Inventory filter, a branch sale list is still being updated on the eve of its auction, and a sold vehicle's page is taken down some time after the sale. A weekly run would miss vehicles that arrive and sell between two visits.

How does it Work?

Step 1 - Make a Request

You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We’ll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.

Step 2 - Configuring Custom Web Crawlers

Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.

Step 3 - Collect and Deliver

Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.

Step 4 - Maintain and Support

Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
