The short manual.

What Huntrr does, what to do when it doesn't, and how to get a human if you need one.

How does Huntrr work?

You save a search like "Hamilton railroad pocket watch under $400". Every 15-60 minutes (depending on your tier) Huntrr polls eight auction sites — HiBid, LiveAuctioneers, Invaluable, eBay, OfferUp, ShopGoodwill, Craigslist, and Bring a Trailer — looking for new lots that match. When something hits, you get an email (and optionally a Pushover ping or SMS). Tap the alert, you're on the auction's listing page bidding before most people refresh.

I created a saved search but haven't gotten any alerts.

A few common reasons, in order of likelihood:

  • Your criteria are tight. If you set "max bid: $50" and the lots you want sell for $200, no alerts will fire. Loosen the threshold or check "deal" mode to alert on anything significantly below typical price.
  • The search hasn't run yet. Free tier polls every 60 minutes, Pro every 15, Dealer every 5. Click "Check now" on the saved-search detail page to trigger an immediate run.
  • The query is too narrow. Auction lot titles are messy — "Hamilton 992 RR PW" doesn't match "Hamilton railroad pocket watch." We auto-generate alternate phrasings via AI when you create a search, but very obscure phrasings may need a broader original query.
  • Free tier covers HiBid + eBay only. If you're hunting on LiveAuctioneers or Invaluable, you need Pro.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Open /accountManage billing. Cancel inside Lemon Squeezy's portal; you keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for. Monthly = no partial refund. Annual = refundable within 14 days; email nick@huntrr.app after that and we'll see what we can do.

How do I get push notifications on my phone?

Huntrr uses Pushover — a one-time-purchase notification app for iOS and Android. Install the app, copy your user key from pushover.net → Your User Key, then paste it on /account → Phone alerts. Every alert routes to your phone from then on.

How do I get SMS alerts?

SMS is a Dealer-tier feature. Upgrade at /upgrade, then enter your phone number (E.164 format, e.g. +15551234567) on /account → SMS alerts. Texts arrive within seconds of a match firing.

I'm a Dealer — how do I use the API?

Mint a token at /account → API access. Use it as a Bearer token against the same endpoints the UI uses:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer hntr_pk_..." \
  https://api.huntrr.app/search?q=hamilton+pocket+watch

Tokens are revocable; revoking is instant. Endpoints work the same as the UI does — same rate limits, same tier gates.

Why isn't [some auction site] covered?

We cover the eight U.S. auction houses where collectors actually buy. Heritage Auctions and Proxibid are planned but currently blocked by Cloudflare anti-bot — we need either their official partner API or a commercial unlocker. Both are on the list once a Dealer customer asks for them enough times.

Live source health is at /health. If a site shows degraded, it's probably WAF whack-a-mole on our end.
