The invention discloses a method, server and system for obtaining auction data in real time. The method is used for obtaining the auction data in real time from the Redis server storing the auction data. The method includes the steps that a request for obtaining the auction data is sent to the Redis server in a short polling mode; a preset script embedded in a proxy server is carried out according to the request for obtaining the auction data so as to obtain the auction data from the Redis server; the auction data returned by the Redis server by making response to the request for obtaining the auction data are received. By means of the method, server and system, it is avoided that the performance is lowered due to the fact that a service logic for obtaining the data enters a PHP service architecture, and the performance of obtaining the data in real time is improved.
