Response schema

#/definitions/alt.listingResponseDoc

Overview

One listing's full public detail -- title, description, price/bid state, grading info, and images -- normalized across Alt's own native listings and its aggregated external listings. id and listing_type come from a prior alt-search/alt-auctions result. Not every response field applies to every listing_type -- see the field-level notes in this endpoint's markdown doc. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.

Infrastructure behavior

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.

• Proxy strategy: managed automatically where needed
• Browser rendering: enabled for supported targets that require rendered HTML or JavaScript execution
• Browser cluster: supported dynamic workloads can be routed through distributed browser instances
• Retry behavior: automatic retry/fallback may be used depending on endpoint type
• Challenge handling: challenged pages or unusable upstream HTML are detected and surfaced clearly when they cannot be used
• Billing: credits are charged only for successful 2xx responses
• Observability: responses include request context where available

Response behavior

- Not every field applies to every `listing_type`: `state` and `alt_value` are only present for Alt's own native listings (`AUCTION`/ `FIXED_PRICE`); `current_bid`, `bid_count`, `auction_ends_at`, and `external_url` are only present for external listings (`EXTERNAL_AUCTION`/`EXTERNAL_FIXED_PRICE`). - `external_url` is the click-through link back to the original listing on its source site (e.g. eBay). - `badges` (e.g. `1/1 Rare`, `Pop 1`) are only present for Alt's own native listings. - An `id`/`listing_type` combination Alt cannot resolve returns `404`. Example response (native Alt listing): ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "id": "58e5a6a5-a7ad-417f-8cda-ceffb226928c", "listing_type": "AUCTION", "auction_house": "Alt", "name": "2007 Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs Kobe Bryant/Lebron James #DL-BJ 1/1 PSA 8", "subject": "Kobe Bryant/Lebron James", "year": 2007, "brand": "Exquisite Collection", "variety": "Dual Logoman Autographs", "card_number": "DL-BJ", "category": "BASKETBALL_CARDS", "description": "The 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs #DL-BJ pairs Kobe Bryant and LeBron James on a singular 1/1 issue.", "grading_company": "PSA", "grade": "8.0", "cert_number": "175673254", "state": "ACTIVE", "list_price": 1772280, "alt_value": 8460808.16, "expires_at": "2026-09-25T01:00:00+00:00", "badges": ["1/1 Rare", "Ghost Card", "Pop 1"], "images": [ {"position": "FRONT", "url": "https://onlyalt-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/image/public/front.png"}, {"position": "BACK", "url": "https://onlyalt-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/image/public/back.png"} ] } } ```

Error behavior

Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.

When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
