Pristine Auction API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Pristine Auction search API to extract supported public Pristine Auction data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/pristine-auction/searchBrowses or searches pristineauction.com's current sports card and memorabilia auction lots. term or category is required, matching pristineauction.com's own search form. All enum values (category, auction_type, sort, status) come from pristine-auction-categories. status=completed browses ended/sold lots (a prices-realized view); the default (all statuses) mirrors the site's own default. Every filter is optional and combines with AND semantics. 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.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
- `total_pages` is computed as `ceil(total / per_page)`. - Every filter is optional and combines with AND semantics. - `results[].ends_at` is the auction's end time, RFC 3339, read from the card's own countdown timestamp. - `results[].high_bid` is the lot's current bid price in USD (not the realized/sold price, even for a `status=completed` lot — use `pristine-auction-lot-detail`'s `price` field for that). - A syntactically valid search that matches nothing returns a well-formed empty result (`total: 0`, `results: []`), not an error.

Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
