Cars.com Scraper [$1.50/1K💰] | US Cars · VIN · Dealer Data

Extract US car listings from Cars.com — prices, VINs, specs, dealer data, photos and history-report flags. Filter by make, model, price, year, mileage and location, or start from a Cars.com search URL.

Main Use Cases

• Car price monitoring — track US used car prices
• VIN-level tracking — segment and deduplicate listings by VIN
• Dealer lead generation — collect dealer contact data
• Market analysis — analyze pricing trends by make and model
• Fleet management — build structured vehicle databases
• Investment screening — find underpriced vehicles

How It Works

The Actor reads Cars.com search-result pages through the site's GraphQL listing endpoint. It applies the supplied make, model, price, year, mileage and location filters, pages through results 24 listings at a time and maps each vehicle to a normalized record.

Each row contains 46 dataset fields, including title, price, VIN, make, model, year, mileage, fuel type, transmission, engine, colors, dealer contact data, photos, history-report flags and listing URL. A search URL or the structured make/model filters define the query; no Cars.com API key is used.
