Search HiBid's whole catalogue of live and timed online auction lots across thousands of independent North-American auction houses, or its closed archive. Every row names the auction house it belongs to — name, town, state, country, phone, e-mail and its own website — plus the sale it sits in and the HiBid lot URL, so any lot can be traced back to the house that is selling it. Live bidding state comes with it: current bid, number of bids, next bid required, buy-now, reserve status and the lot's own closing instant in UTC. Every filter is optional, but pass at least one of `query`, `category_id`, `auction_id`, `lot_ids`, `state` or `zip` — with none of them you get the newest slice of the entire catalogue.

What you can run here, without an account

ReefAPI is one HTTP gateway to 438 live web-data APIs covering 2778 endpoints across 14 categories. Every endpoint answers with the same JSON envelope, so one integration reaches all of them. Each response reports what it cost and when the source was read.

No signup, no API key and no card are required to try an endpoint on this page. Anonymous calls run on a shared demo key, capped at 15 calls per hour per visitor. Pick an API, fill the parameters and the real response comes back from the live source, not from a canned sample. A free account lifts the cap and gives you 1,000 credits and your own key.

Browse every API in the catalog, read an endpoint's fields and example response in the docs, or see per-call credit costs on the pricing page.
