About Catawiki scraper

Need to pull structured data from Catawiki for your art market research or inventory project? I've used this scraper to turn messy auction listings into clean, usable datasets. You give it a Catawiki search URL—like results for "mid-century ceramics" or "vintage watches"—and it crawls through the listings, grabbing exactly what you need: artwork titles, descriptions, artist names, current bids, estimates, and end dates. It also reliably captures the essential contact and seller information tied to each lot, which is crucial if you're building lead lists or analyzing seller networks. The beauty is in the automation. Instead of manually copying and pasting details from hundreds of auction pages, this tool does the tedious work in minutes. I've found it perfect for a few key jobs: tracking price trends for specific art categories, aggregating inventory for online galleries, or compiling data for investment analysis. The output is neatly organized, usually in a spreadsheet or JSON, ready to drop into your database or analysis software. It handles Catawiki's pagination and page structure smoothly, so you get a complete dataset from your search query without hitting manual roadblocks.
