Download the dataset

Get the full dataset as one CSV or JSONL file. If the data is older than maxAgeHours, it is refreshed automatically first. The key needs the datasets:export scope.

At its current 673,323 rows, this download costs $404.04, down to $101.01 in volume (6,734 credits) when the data is fresh enough, or $808.08, down to $202.02 in volume (13,468 credits) when it has to be refreshed first.

This is a Standard dataset: 1 credit per 100 rows cached and 2 credits live, charged on the rows in the dataset when the download becomes ready. A failed refresh is not charged. The file stays downloadable for 24 hours. See pricing.

Start a run

To get exactly the targets you want, send the parameters below as input. The call returns 202 with the run; the key needs the scrapers:run scope and the account a positive credit balance.

curl -X POST "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/scrapers/artnet-lots/runs" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{    "input": {      "maxLots": 0,      "maxSales": 0,      "includePast": true,      "includeUpcoming": true    }  }'

A run is billed at the live rate once it finishes: 2 credits per 100 rows it collected ($1.2, down to $0.3 in volume per 1,000 rows). A run that collects nothing costs nothing.

Parameters

Every parameter is optional. Anything you leave out uses the default shown here; an unknown name or an invalid value is rejected with a 400 that lists each problem.

Run, poll, read rows

The run is asynchronous. Poll it until it reaches a terminal status and its billing is paid, then page through its rows. Until then the rows endpoint answers 409 (still queued or running) or 402 (payment required).
