Copart Public Search Scraper

Extract vehicle auction data from Copart's public search. Search by keyword, make, model, year range, damage type, and location. Returns lot details including VIN, mileage, damage, current bid, auction date, images, and more.

Notes

• Copart returns up to 20 lots per page. The actor paginates automatically until maxItems is reached or all matching lots are retrieved.
• Filters must be in uppercase (e.g. TOYOTA not toyota). The make, model, damageFilter, and location fields are automatically uppercased by the actor.
• Fields not available for a particular lot will be null in the output.
• Copart's public search covers salvage title and clean title vehicles, fleet, donation vehicles, and repossessions.
• Reaching Copart's search is handled for you and included in the actor.
