Questions and answers
Where does the data come from?
From the auctions' own public listings and inventory feeds, recorded by SalvageAlert as they are published and kept after the sale. SalvageAlert is independent and not affiliated with Copart or IAA.
How fast is the file delivered?
The file is written as soon as the payment is confirmed — usually within minutes, a few more for millions of rows. The receipt page shows the progress and we email you the link.
Can I use it commercially?
Yes, inside your organisation: analysis, models, internal tools and products built on it. Reselling or republishing the rows as a dataset is not allowed.
Will the rows change after I buy?
Your file is a snapshot of the lots that matched when you paid, with the values we held then. Buy again later for a fresh one, or use the API for live data.
Which formats do you deliver?
CSV or JSON Lines, gzip-compressed. Both carry the same fields, with dates in ISO 8601 UTC and prices in the lot's own currency.
