Copart Parser

copart.com auction parser that bypasses blocking through a proxy pool.

Stack: Node.js / Worker-threads

What we had to solve

The auto dealer picked lots on copart.com manually: opened hundreds of pages every morning, copying photos and specs into a spreadsheet. Generic scripts hit the anti-bot wall and lost data on every run.

What we did

Wrote a Node.js parser on worker threads that queues lots, rotates a proxy pool and saves lots and media to a local database. Added incremental updates so already collected lots are not refetched on each run.

What the client got

  • 01

    Page loads in under 1 second on 4G

  • 02

    Manual steps removed, processing runs on autopilot

  • 03

    Leads and player actions reach the team without loss thanks to validated forms and logging
