🔍 What does it do?

This actor scrapes AutoScout24's search pages and extracts structured data from every car listing. It reads data directly from the embedded __NEXT_DATA__ JSON on each search page — meaning it's fast, accurate, and doesn't require a browser or JavaScript rendering.

💡 Tips and tricks

• Use startUrls for complex filters — the website UI supports body type, color, seller type, and more. Configure your search there, copy the URL, paste it in.
• Country codes: A=Austria, B=Belgium, D=Germany, E=Spain, F=France, I=Italy, L=Luxembourg, NL=Netherlands. Leave blank for all Europe.
• Make slugs use lowercase with hyphens: mercedes-benz, alfa-romeo, land-rover.
• Fuel type codes: B=Gasoline, D=Diesel, E=Electric, 2=Gasoline/Electric Hybrid, 3=Diesel/Electric Hybrid, L=LPG, C=CNG.
• Max 8000 listings per run — AutoScout24 limits search results to 400 pages × 20 per page. For larger datasets, split by make, model, or price range.
• Year range filter applies to first registration year, not model year.
• Images are high-resolution (800×600px) — suitable for product cards, comparisons, and visual tools.
• Private sellers will have dealerName set to their contact name and sellerType = "Private".

⚖️ Legal and compliance

AutoScout24 makes listing data publicly accessible without login. This scraper only collects publicly visible information — the same data any visitor can see on the website.

Key considerations:

• ✅ Only public data is extracted (no login, no private user data).
• ✅ Results are typically used for legitimate purposes: market research, price comparison, business intelligence.
• ⚠️ Do not use scraped data to re-publish or resell listings as-is — AutoScout24's terms prohibit this.
• ⚠️ Respect rate limits — use maxListings and schedule runs at reasonable intervals.
• ⚠️ GDPR applies to personal data (dealer names, phone numbers) — ensure you have a lawful basis if processing EU personal data.

Always review AutoScout24's Terms of Service and robots.txt for the latest restrictions.

❓ FAQ

Q: What countries does AutoScout24 cover?

AutoScout24 operates in 9 European countries: Germany (DE), Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), France (FR), Italy (IT), Spain (ES), Netherlands (NL), Luxembourg (LU), and pan-European search. Use the country dropdown in the input or leave it blank for all Europe.

Q: How many listings can I scrape?

AutoScout24 paginates at up to 400 pages × 20 listings = 8,000 results per search query. For larger datasets, split your search by make, country, or price range and run multiple jobs.

Q: Why is my run returning listings from the wrong make/country?

The make field must match AutoScout24's slug exactly (e.g., mercedes-benz not mercedes, alfa-romeo not alfaromeo). If you're unsure of the slug, use startUrls with the URL copied directly from the website — that guarantees the exact filters you set on AutoScout24 are respected.

Q: Can I scrape private seller listings?

Yes — the scraper includes both dealer and private seller listings. sellerType will be "Private" for private sellers. Note that private sellers may not have a phone number in the listing (AutoScout24 hides it behind a contact form).

Q: The run finished but I got fewer listings than requested — why?

This happens when the search has fewer total results than your maxListings value. For example, if you search for a rare make/model combination in a small country, there may only be 50 listings available.

Q: Images aren't loading — what happened?

Image URLs are hosted by AutoScout24's CDN (prod.pictures.autoscout24.net). They are valid at the time of scraping. CDN links don't expire, but individual listings can be removed if the car is sold.
