}About the auctiontime.com API
The AuctionTime API exposes 9 endpoints covering live and sold equipment auction listings from AuctionTime.com, including full listing detail, category browsing, keyword search, and auctioneer profiles. The get_listing_detail endpoint returns per-item fields like current bid, sale end time, specs, location, images, and lot number. Together the endpoints cover discovery, bulk collection, and result tracking for agricultural and heavy equipment auctions.
Browsing and Searching Listings
The get_listings endpoint fetches paginated auction listings for a specific category, identified by both a category_id (e.g., '1100' for tractors) and a URL slug. The search_listings endpoint accepts a free-text query string and returns matching listings across categories. Both return a listings array and a total_pages integer for pagination. If you need an entire category in one call, get_all_pages retrieves all pages at once and additionally returns a pages_fetched count.
Listing Detail and Auction Results
get_listing_detail takes a numeric listing_id and an optional URL slug, and returns a detail object with fields including title, description, category, specs, current_bid, sale_ends, location, images, image_url, url, and lot_number. For completed sales, get_auction_results returns sold listings for a given category using the same slug and category_id parameters. get_auction_by_date filters active listings to a specific auction date supplied in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Auctioneers and Categories
get_auctioneers returns a paginated list of auctioneer profiles, each including name, url, phone, address, items_sold, premier_seller status, and image_url. To pull listings for a single auctioneer, get_auctioneer_listings accepts an auctioneer_slug. The get_categories endpoint requires no inputs and returns all top-level categories with their id, slug, and name — useful for seeding category_id and slug values into the other endpoints.

Does AuctionTime.com have an official developer API?+
What fields does `get_listing_detail` return beyond the bid price?+
detail object includes listing_id, title, description, category, specs (equipment specifications), current_bid, sale_ends, location, images (array), image_url, url, and lot_number. It does not include bidding history or individual bidder information.Does `get_auction_results` return final hammer prices or only the last known bid?+
Are subcategories supported, or only top-level categories?+
get_categories currently returns top-level categories with their id, slug, and name. Subcategory navigation is not covered by the current endpoints. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add a subcategory endpoint if you need finer-grained browsing.How should I get the `category_id` and `slug` values required by several endpoints?+
get_categories first — it requires no inputs and returns the full list of top-level categories with both id and slug for each. Pass those values directly into get_listings, get_all_pages, or get_auction_results.
