## What you can build on Copart

### Get vehicles in Payments Due

- Takes: Nothing
- Returns: Lot number, vehicle, sale date, location, sale price, fees, total due, delivery estimate

### Check Bid Status

Reads the Bid Status tab: the lots you placed a Max Bid on or watched, and whether you won or lost each one.

- Takes: Sale date from (optional)
- Returns: Lot number, vehicle, sale date, your bid, high bid, result

### Get a lot's details

Reads the Lot Details page for one lot number: title, damage, odometer and the sale date and location.

- Takes: Lot number
- Returns: VIN, title type, odometer, primary damage, secondary damage, estimated retail value, keys, seller, location, sale date

### Send won vehicles to a transporter

Selects lots on the Payments Due page, chooses Send to Transporter and enters the transporter's email address, so they get the Gate PIN.

- Takes: Lot numbers, transporter email address
- Returns: Lot numbers sent, transporter email address, confirmation shown

## Automate Copart with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### Newly won vehicles, before storage fees start

Starts: Every weekday at 7:00

1. Get the vehicles in Payments Due.
2. Keep the lots that were not there on the last run.
3. Email you each lot with its sale date, location, total due and delivery estimate.

### Daily auction results, posted to your system

Starts: Every day at 20:00

1. Check Bid Status for lots sold today.
2. Keep the lots whose result changed since the last run.
3. Post lot number, vehicle, your bid, high bid and result to your webhook.

### Lot details for the lots your buyers flag

Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with a list of lot numbers

1. For each lot number, get the lot's details.
2. Keep the lots with a sale date still ahead.
3. Post VIN, title type, damage, odometer, estimated retail value and sale date to your system's webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get vehicles in Payments Due” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.copart.com/get_payments_due",
    "input": {}
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "vehicles": [
      {
        "lot_number": "40118263",
        "vehicle": "2019 Toyota Camry SE",
        "sale_date": "2026-11-10",
        "location": "TX - Dallas",
        "sale_price": 4250,
        "fees": 845,
        "total_due": 5095,
        "delivery_estimate": 410,
        "currency": "USD"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## Copart’s own options

Copart documents no API for buying members. Members search, bid, pay and arrange pickup on copart.com and in the Copart Member App, get alerts by email, text, push or browser, and can download the CSV Sales Data of upcoming lots. Copart's published integration is for sellers: a Guidewire ClaimCenter accelerator for insurers' salvage claims.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| CSV Sales Data | A spreadsheet of vehicles scheduled for sale: lot numbers, sale times, locations, makes, models, damage types and sale titles. | Signing in as a member on the website. Copart's Canadian site says it updates every 15 minutes and is typically 25 MB. |
| Action Alerts and Preference Center | Auction Alerts 15 minutes before a watched or Max Bid lot's auction, Lane Alerts 5 lots away, and win and loss notices. | A member account. Sent by text message, Member App push, web browser alert or email. |
| Copart ClaimCenter accelerator | Sends salvage assignments from Guidewire ClaimCenter to Copart's B2B gateway and returns auction and post-auction updates. | A seller running Guidewire ClaimCenter 10. Not for buying members. |
| Copart.com by hand | Payments Due, Bid Status, Watchlist, Lot Details, payments, Schedule Pickup and Send to Transporter, one screen at a time. | A Copart membership with documents approved and a deposit paid. |

## Signing in to Copart

Copart's Member sign in takes your email or member number and a password, with Remember me, and also offers Sign in with Google, Sign in with Apple and Sign in with a passkey. With Fous you sign in once through Copart's own sign-in with your own member account: the login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs, and code and AI agents never see it.

## Worth knowing

- **Three days of free storage**: Copart holds a vehicle at no charge for up to three days, including the day you bought it. After that storage fees apply, and they vary by location.
- **Pay within 8 calendar days**: A high bidder who does not pay within 8 calendar days, including the sale day, loses the vehicle to a relisting, with a fee of 10% of the final sale price or $600, whichever is higher.
- **Bids cannot be taken back**: Copart states that all bids are legally binding and cannot be cancelled, and a Monster Bid cannot be undone. A bid amount counts against your Buying Power until the vehicle sells.
- **Title pickup has its own status**: You can pick up the title once the Payments page shows Title Ready to be Mailed, for a $20 service fee.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Copart have an API?

Not for buying members. Copart documents no member API: you use copart.com, the Copart Member App, its alerts and the CSV Sales Data of upcoming lots. Its published integration is for sellers, a Guidewire ClaimCenter accelerator that sends insurers' salvage assignments to Copart's B2B gateway.

### How do I know if I won a Copart auction?

Check the Payments Due tab, which lists the vehicles you have won, or the Bid Status tab. Copart also alerts you by email, text message or Member App push, depending on your Preference Center settings. Lots you lost after a Max Bid or from your Watch List also appear in Bid Status.

### Can I export Copart lots to a spreadsheet?

Yes, as a signed-in member you can download the CSV Sales Data of vehicles scheduled for sale. It does not cover your own Payments Due or Bid Status. With Fous, you can build a method that reads those pages and returns JSON, and a workflow that posts it to your system by webhook.

### How do I get a vehicle from Copart to my yard?

From the Payments Due page, choose Order Delivery for Copart Delivery, Send to Transporter for your own carrier, who gets a Gate PIN by email, or Schedule Pickup to collect it yourself. Arrange it quickly: free storage lasts up to three days, including the day of sale.

### Is Fous affiliated with Copart?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Copart member account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of Copart (Copart). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
