Overview

Returns one pristineauction.com lot's full detail: title, description, image gallery, price (current high bid, or realized/sold price once the auction has ended), auction end time, sport/collectible category, auction type, no-reserve flag, and view/watch/bid counts. lot_number comes from pristine-auction-search's results[].lot_number. Credential-free public data -- see the endpoint markdown for the transport used. 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

- `price` is the lot's current high bid, or its realized/sold price once the auction has ended — pristineauction.com's own product schema uses the same field for both states. - `ends_at` is RFC 3339, as reported by the upstream product schema. - `category` is a sport/collectible category slug, one value from `pristine-auction-categories`' `categories[].slug`. - `images[]` is the lot's full photo gallery (front, back, and any additional angles the seller provided), not just the one thumbnail `pristine-auction-search` returns. - An unknown `lot_number` returns a `404` not-found error. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "lot_number": 13154611, "title": "Mickey Mantle 1969 Topps #500 (PSA 8) (MC)", "description": "Card has been graded PSA 8 (Miscut).

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.
