# loupe-this — Loupe This (online watch auctions, US)

Realised prices and live lots from Loupe This, through the public JSON:API the site loads.

- `GET api.loupethis.com/api/v1/auctions?status=closed|live&per_page=100&page=N&include=brand` (+ `/auctions/<slug>` for lookup).
- `status=closed` + `sold_price_cents` → **sale**: price = winning bid + 10 % buyer's premium (`buyerPremiumIncluded: true`, `metadata.hammer_price`), `saleDate` = `ends_at`, USD. Closed lots without a sold price (reserve not met) are skipped.
- `status=live` → **auction_lot** (current bid, starts/ends, live/upcoming). The endpoint also returns closed lots after the open ones; the connector keeps only open lots on that path and stops when a page has none.
- Watch attributes: brand from `included` brands, reference (`WATCH_REF_RE` + letter-prefixed fallback for Seiko/IWC/Panerai codes), material, size, completeness, condition hints. `identifiers.loupe_this_id` (+ `reference`).
- Backfill: ~4 250 closed lots since 2021 (43 pages of 100) with `ctx.progress` and cursor `{ status, page }`.
- Bidder ids, comments, payment/auth endpoints are ignored.
