One API layer for supported Copart and IAAI auction data

Search current inventory and use normalized VIN, lot, vehicle details, high-quality source media, pricing, auction status and retained history without maintaining separate source-specific integrations.

Apibara.tech automatically collects, normalizes and refreshes supported source records so your team can focus on product features instead of parser maintenance.

Search & filters

Find vehicles by source, VIN, lot, make, model, year, location, damage, status and other supported fields.

Vehicle details & media

Use specifications, damage, odometer, title, seller, auction fields and source-provided high-quality images.

Pricing & live monitoring

Display available bids, Buy Now values, final sale information and supported live auction changes.

History & synchronization

Connect retained historical records and build incremental synchronization workflows with cursor pagination.

Current auction data

Build with active and upcoming auction inventory

Use supported Copart and IAAI listings for search pages, lot details, auction monitoring, pricing workflows, vehicle sourcing and customer-facing inventory.

  • VIN & lot identifiers
  • Auction dates & status
  • Current bids & Buy Now
  • Photos & vehicle details
Historical auction data

Connect vehicles with retained auction and sale history

Retrieve available previous auction appearances and sale records for supported vehicles. Historical coverage depends on the VIN, lot, source and retained records.

  • Previous auction records
  • Sale dates & prices
  • Previous condition data
  • Retained photos when available

Apibara.tech currently indexes more than 20 million auction records across current vehicle and lot data plus retained historical auction records. This includes more than 2.5 million vehicle and lot records. The 20M+ figure is a record count, not a claim of 20 million unique vehicles.

Does Apibara.tech provide auction history? +

Yes. Available previous auction and sale records can be retrieved for supported retained vehicles. Historical coverage depends on the VIN, lot, source and retained data and should not be treated as complete ownership or accident history.

Yes. Apibara.tech provides integration assistance for supported projects, including API setup, endpoint selection, synchronization patterns, WordPress integrations and custom implementation requirements.
