Steps
Call the auction endpoints (index, view, count) on Handbid's REST API to list auctions and item counts.
Call the bidders and bids endpoints to retrieve current bid activity for a given auction.
Use the add-participants endpoint to add bidders programmatically to an auction roster.
Poll on an interval appropriate to your use case, since bid data freshness depends on Handbid's API rather than a confirmed push/webhook model.
Known gotchas
Exact pagination and rate-limit behavior for these endpoints wasn't directly verifiable this session; treat any specific limits as unconfirmed until checked against Handbid's live developer docs.
Handbid also offers a Zapier integration as an alternative to direct API calls - don't build a custom polling loop if a supported Zapier trigger already covers your use case.
