Developer APIs for auctions, media and AI agents

Apibara.tech is a developer API platform for building data-driven products faster. The launch includes ready-to-use APIs for vehicle auction data, media data, YouTube tools, streaming links and captions. It stands out with OpenAPI documentation, GitHub examples, a free plan, live demo, and a WordPress plugin for adding Copart and IAAI auction listings to websites without building a custom scraper.
How often do you refresh the auction data on Copart and IAAI, and is there any way to get real-time updates or is it on a fixed schedule?

Great question.
Bid and auction price updates are refreshed almost in real time — usually within up to 15 seconds. Full vehicle details are refreshed within up to 30 minutes, although this can vary depending on the source and auction activity.
We currently run 20+ parallel update streams across different filters and segments. Since some vehicles can appear in multiple flows, they may be refreshed more than once during that period.
So it is not one fixed schedule for all data. Prices are updated much closer to real time, while full vehicle data uses a distributed refresh process.
