Bring a Trailer auction
One Bring a Trailer auction: status (live, sold, reserve not met, withdrawn), current or high bid, sale price, currency, end time, bid count, comments, views, watchers, lot number, chassis/VIN, location, make, models, era, origin, categories, the BaT Essentials details list, no_reserve, vehicle_specs read from the details list (mileage in miles and as written, TMU flag, engine, transmission, transmission type, gear count, drivetrain, exterior colour, interior; each null when not stated), description, all photo URLs and the bid history shown on the page (amounts and times).

Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/bringatrailer/v1/listing" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/bringatrailer/v1/listing",
params={},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/bringatrailer/v1/listing");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
