Pristine Auction Scraper API
Pristine Auction runs weekly sports-card and memorabilia auctions at pristineauction.com. Crawlora reads its public inventory directly: the whole value space for category, auction type, sort, and status, keyword or category search across the current auction, and one lot's full detail -- price, auction end time, sport/collectible category, no-reserve flag, and view/watch/bid counts. Credential-free.
Extract Pristine Auction's live lot search, full lot detail, and the platform's own search enum values as structured JSON.

Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Pristine Auction endpoint catalog — 3 endpoints, 13 documented request parameters, and 3 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
3 documented Pristine Auction endpoints, grouped into 3 request families — Categories, Lot and Search.
Published request surface
13 request parameters are documented across those Pristine Auction endpoints, 4 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
3 of the 3 Pristine Auction endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 3 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Documented failure modes
Pristine Auction endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 500 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
Agent-callable MCP tools
3 hosted MCP tools back the Pristine Auction endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

/pristine-auction/searchSearch Pristine Auction's live auction inventory
Browses 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.
Response notes
- `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.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 30 items, 10 fields filled in every item, 1 not. ends_at: 2026-10-14 to 2026-10-26; auction_type: CLASSIC (16), CARD AUCTION (6), ELITE (3) and 3 more.

/pristine-auction/lot/{lot_number}Get a Pristine Auction lot's full detail
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.
Response notes
- `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.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 17 of 17 fields returned with a value. ends_at: 2026-09-29; lot_number: 13,154,611.

/pristine-auction/categoriesDiscover Pristine Auction's search enum values
Returns the whole value space for pristine-auction-search's category, auction_type, sort, and status params. categories[] is fetched live (with a current listing count per category, refreshed on every call); auction_types[], sort[], and statuses[] are pristineauction.com's own fixed, small search-form value sets.
Response notes
- `categories[]` is fetched live from pristineauction.com's own category select on every call, so `count` reflects the current live listing count for that category, not a static snapshot. - `auction_types[]`, `sort[]`, and `statuses[]` are pristineauction.com's own fixed, small search-form value sets. - `statuses[].slug` values `future`/`active`/`canceled`/`completed`/ `forfeited` map to `pristine-auction-search`'s own `status` filter. `status=completed` browses ended/sold lots — a prices-realized view.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 18 items, 1 field filled in every item.

How to scrape Pristine Auction
Extract Pristine Auction data in 5 steps
Pristine Auction's own search form expects specific enum values that shift as categories are added. Crawlora's Pristine Auction endpoints return those enum values, keyword/category search results, and one lot's full detail as normalized JSON -- no account. A pull on 2026-10-27 showed 19 categories led by fine-art with 5,379 lots, and 981 results for jordan across 33 pages of 30.
- Step 1
Read the search enum values
Call /pristine-auction/categories for the live category list (with a current listing count per category) plus the fixed auction_type, sort, and status enums.
- Step 2
Search or browse lots
Send a term or category to /pristine-auction/search, with an optional auction_type, status, price range, and sort order; status=completed browses ended/sold lots.
- Step 3
Get one lot's full detail
Pass a lot_number from a search result to /pristine-auction/lot/{lot_number} for title, description, image gallery, current or realized price, auction end time, and view/watch/bid counts.
- Step 4
Use the facets from categories
categories returned 19 category slugs with counts (fine-art, labelled ART, held 5,379), 18 auction types, 8 sort orders (including newly-listed) and 5 statuses. Pass those slugs to search.
- Step 5
Expect name matches, not just players
search for jordan returned total 981 over 33 pages of 30, and the first lot was a Jordan Addison signed Vikings jersey with a high bid of 50 USD and no_reserve false. A word can match a person, not a brand, so add a category.

FAQ
Scraping Pristine Auction: common questions
How do I scrape Pristine Auction lots?
Call /pristine-auction/categories for the search enum values, send a term or category to /pristine-auction/search, then pass a result's lot_number to /pristine-auction/lot/{lot_number} for full detail -- all as structured JSON, no account.
Can I browse Pristine Auction's completed sales, not just live lots?
Yes -- pass status=completed to /pristine-auction/search to browse ended/sold lots instead of the current live auction.
Are Pristine Auction's category values fixed?
No -- /pristine-auction/categories reads categories[] live from pristineauction.com's own current listing count per category; auction_type, sort, and status are the site's own fixed, small enums.
Does Pristine Auction lot detail show a no-reserve flag?
Yes -- /pristine-auction/lot/{lot_number} returns a no-reserve flag alongside price, auction end time, and view/watch/bid counts.
Is scraping Pristine Auction legal?
Collecting publicly accessible lot, search, and category data is generally permissible if you respect Pristine Auction's terms of use, robots directives, rate limits, and applicable law.
How many results per page does Pristine Auction search return?
30. A jordan query on 2026-10-27 reported 981 results over 33 pages.
