❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

Is there a The Market Classic Car Auctions API? Do I need an API key?

The Market Classic Car Auctions has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a The Market Classic Car Auctions API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP.

Why do I get only 10 auction lots?

On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

How many lots are there?

About 5,750 as of October 2026: about 5,720 sold or not sold results, plus live, coming soon and sealed bids lots.

Can I pick several makes or search words?

Yes. Any lot matching one of the values is kept, and duplicates are removed. "Mercedes" also finds Mercedes-Benz.

What does soldAfterAuction mean?

The bidding ended below the reserve, but the car was sold afterwards. price is that later price, highestBid the top bid in the auction.

The log shows more lots than were saved

The count in the log is the site's. Every filter is checked by the Actor, so fewer lots are kept.

Prices are in different currencies

Each lot is in its sale's currency (currency): GBP, EUR, USD or CHF. The price filter and price sort use the number as it is, without converting.
