GET /bonhams/lots/search

Search Bonhams lots across every auction

Searches Bonhams lots across every auction, current and historical -- including sold/prices-realized lots -- optionally filtered by department, country, a GBP-normalized estimate price range, and/or a free-text query, in a caller-selected sort order. Without a query and without an explicit sort, results are ordered by most recently active sale date first. Credential-free public data from bonhams.com's own search API.

API key required. Paste a full key or rotate one from the API Keys page.
