Frequently Asked Questions

How much data can I scrape?

The scraper can return up to 125,000+ live listings in a single run. Copart currently lists approximately 125,799 total vehicles across all locations. The maxItems parameter controls how many records you receive.

How fresh is the data?

Each run scrapes Copart's live search index. Auction dates, bid prices, and availability are current at scrape time. We recommend running the scraper regularly if you need up-to-date bid information.

Why is the VIN partially masked?

Copart's public search API masks the last 6 characters of VINs (e.g., WBAVL1C50FV******) in public search results. This is by design from Copart. The full VIN is available to registered Copart members.

What Copart search filters are supported?

Any URL you can create by browsing copart.com works as the startUrl. The scraper reads the search parameters directly from the URL, so all Copart filter combinations are supported.

Can I scrape a single lot?

Yes! Paste a single lot URL (e.g., https://www.copart.com/lot/99714325) and the scraper will return that vehicle's details.

Can I search globally or only in the US?

Copart operates globally. The scraper supports Copart's international sites if you navigate to them and copy the search URL. The primary focus is US inventory where the lotSearchResults URL pattern is used.

What is the estimated retail value (ERV)?

The estimated_retail_value field is Copart's automated valuation based on vehicle condition, market data, and auction history. The acv (Actual Cash Value) represents the insured/appraised value.

Are motorcycle and truck listings supported?

Yes — Copart lists all vehicle types including cars, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and heavy equipment. Filter by vehicle type on copart.com and paste the filtered URL.

What happens if a lot has no images?

The imageUrl, images, and images_high_res fields will be absent from the record. Only fields with actual data are included in the output.
