Upload catalogs up to three times faster with Invaluable’s new Application Programming Interface (API). This integration enables auction houses to add, edit, or delete lots in Timed and Live sales on Invaluable, AuctionZip and Private Label sites directly from their auction management software.
The longer your catalog is online, the more exposure you receive to the millions of monthly bidders on our platform. Direct integration with any of the auction house software systems listed below will:
Reduce friction by managing catalogs from one central location.
Improve upload speed of text and images by as much as 3X through enhanced performance.
Improve the upload speed of text and images up to 3x with enhanced performance.
Invaluable’s Catalog Upload API is provided to auction management software companies. If you work with any of the partners listed above, you will now be able to use the API to streamline the loading of catalog content to Invaluable, AuctionZip, and Private Label sites. This will make it easier for you to get your objects in front of our network of bidders. This is the next step toward our goal of providing the best services to our auction community.
How do I access the API?
Your auction management software provider will determine how you access the catalog content ingest API. They will also be your primary support resource.
If I upload my catalog using the API, can I still manage it through DIY?
All of the same management tools for sale logistics will be available through Invaluable Auctions, but modifications to the catalog data itself should be managed through the API.
You may continue to use DIY at your convenience, but once you upload a catalog through the API, data management for that catalog should be performed through the API.
What if I’m working with an auction software company that isn’t listed here?
We hope to make this available to as many of our auction houses as possible. If you work with a company that is not currently listed as a partner, please reach out to them and encourage them to get in touch with Invaluable about collaborating.
