About Copart + IAAI

Copart and IAAI (Insurance Auto Auctions) are the two largest salvage car auctions in the USA and Canada. Insurance companies, banks, rental fleets and dealers sell hundreds of thousands of damaged, recovered and used cars there every week.

Our auction API collects every lot from both sites: the car and its VIN, damage and title, odometer, photos, current bid, Buy Now, the seller reserve where it is known, and the final price once the car is sold. Sold lots stay in the archive, so you can show the full sale history of a VIN.

Questions about the Copart + IAAI API

Yes, where it is known: the minimum the seller will accept, with the time it was last seen. It is a reserve, not a sale price; the final price comes separately once the car is sold.

Yes. Sold lots move to the archive with their final price and stay there, so you can show the sale history of any VIN.

Yes. Ask once an hour for the lots that changed in the last hour and for the lots that were sold, instead of downloading everything again.
