Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### What does Autotrader UK Car Scraper do? Autotrader UK Car Scraper extracts structured listing data from [autotrader.co.uk](https://autotrader.co.uk) โ€” including make, model, registration year, price, mileage, full descriptions, and seller contact details. It supports keyword search, location filters, and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions and contact information) where the source provides them. ### How to use this actor - ๐Ÿ‘‰ **Register for a free Apify account** โ€” no credit card required. - ๐ŸŽ‰ Just click **[Sign up free on Apify โ†’](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi&fp_sid=ctarich)** and complete a quick signup. - ๐Ÿ’ฐ A free Apify account includes $5 in monthly credits โ€” enough to test this actor. - โณ Scrape during the free trial, with no commitment or upfront payment required. ### Key features - **๐Ÿš— Vehicle data depth** โ€” every car returns structured vehicle fields as first-class columns โ€” make, model, registration year, mileage, fuel type, transmission, body type, engine, colour, and price (with Auto Trader's price indicator) โ€” not buried in description text. Enable detail enrichment to add the full seller description, the complete photo gallery, spec and history highlights, and seller contact details in the same pass. Filter by make, model, price, year, mileage, fuel, transmission, body type, colour, and seller type. - **๐Ÿ”— Paste-mode** โ€” build the search you want on autotrader.co.uk โ€” make, model, price, range โ€” copy the resulting car-search URL, and paste it in. Every filter in the URL is honored; paste several and the results are merged and de-duplicated by advert ID into a single dataset. (Paste search URLs, not individual car-details pages.) - **๐Ÿ“‹ Detail enrichment** โ€” two-stage scraping: first collect the listings, then enrich each advert with its full detail page โ€” complete description, spec and running-cost fields, history highlights, the full image gallery, and seller contact. On by default; turn it off for a faster, lighter run with the headline fields only. - **๐Ÿ”” Notifications** โ€” Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, and generic webhook out of the box. Pair with incremental for daily new-listing alerts without pipeline glue. - **๐Ÿ“ฆ Compact mode** โ€” AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only. - **โœ‚๏ธ Description truncation** โ€” cap description length with `descriptionMaxLength` to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size โ€” set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim. - **๐Ÿงน Empty-field stripping** โ€” drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards that already handle missing fields gracefully. - **โ™ป๏ธ Incremental mode** โ€” recurring runs emit and charge only for listings that are new or whose tracked content changed. First run builds the baseline; subsequent runs emit only NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED records (UNCHANGED + EXPIRED opt-in). Saves 80โ€“95% on daily monitoring. - **๐Ÿ“ค Export anywhere** โ€” Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console, or stream live via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, n8n, โ€ฆ). - **๐Ÿ”Œ MCP connectors** โ€” export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors โ€” a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows. ### What data can you extract from Auto Trader? Each result includes Core listing fields (`listingId`, `listingKey`, `url`, `portalUrl`, `listingType`, `title`, `subtitle`, and `attentionGrabber`, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (`engineDescription`, `description`, `descriptionText`, and `detailFetched`), and contact information (`contactEmail` and `contactPhone`). In standard mode, all fields are always present โ€” unavailable data points are returned as `null`, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned. Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and contact information where the source provides them. ### Input The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema. Key parameters: - **`query`** โ€” Optional free-text keyword(s), e.g. "M Sport" or "low mileage". Combine with the make/model filters below to narrow a search. Leave empty to browse purely by the filters. - **`make`** โ€” Manufacturer to search, e.g. "BMW", "Audi", "Ford". Use the brand name exactly as it appears on Auto Trader. - **`model`** โ€” Model to search within the chosen make, e.g. "3 Series", "Golf", "Fiesta". - **`location`** โ€” UK postcode used as the distance anchor, e.g. "SW1A 1AA" or "M1". Results are sorted by distance from this point. - **`startUrls`** โ€” Paste Auto Trader UK car-search URLs (one per line). Each URL's filters are honored, and results are merged and deduplicated across all URLs. When provided, search URLs take precedence over the filter fields below. (default: `[]`) - **`country`** โ€” Market to search. (default: `"GB"`) - **`maxResults`** โ€” Maximum total cars to return (0 = unlimited). The actor self-sizes memory to the run: 256 MB for runs up to 2000 results, 512 MB above that. (default: `25`) - **`minPrice`** โ€” Lowest price to include, in GBP. - **`maxPrice`** โ€” Highest price to include, in GBP. - **`minYear`** โ€” Earliest registration year to include, e.g. 2015. - **`maxYear`** โ€” Latest registration year to include, e.g. 2023. - **`minMileage`** โ€” Lowest mileage to include (miles). - ...and 28 more parameters ### Input examples **By make & model with full detail** โ€” Scrape a specific make and model, enriching every advert with full specification, seller details, and the advert description. โ†’ Up to 50 BMW 3 Series adverts, each with full spec + seller + description. ```json { "make": "BMW", "model": "3 Series", "maxResults": 50, "includeDetails": true } ```` **By keyword search** โ€” Search by free-text keyword instead of structured filters โ€” useful for trims, packages, or descriptive terms. โ†’ Up to 50 adverts matching the keyword, with full detail. ```json { "query": "M Sport diesel estate", "maxResults": 50, "includeDetails": true } ``` **Paste an Auto Trader search URL** โ€” Configure the search on autotrader.co.uk, copy the resulting URL, and paste it in. All filters in the URL are honored; multiple URLs are merged and deduplicated. โ†’ Adverts from the pasted search, deduplicated across URLs. ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-search?advertising-location=at_cars&make=Audi&model=A4&postcode=M1%201AE" ], "maxResults": 75, "includeDetails": true } ``` **Track new & changed adverts (incremental)** โ€” Run on a schedule and return only adverts that are new or changed since the previous run, keyed by a stable state key. โ†’ Only new or changed adverts since the last run for this state key. ```json { "make": "BMW", "model": "3 Series", "maxResults": 25, "includeDetails": true, "incrementalMode": true, "stateKey": "bmw-3series-uk" } ``` ### Output Each run produces a dataset of structured listing records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console. ### Example listing record ```json { "listingId": "5fe34791be66f91f0bdbbaaf2da9da8ceaa9b9b642d196cd6715633261225842", "listingKey": "202605252681294", "url": "https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202605252681294", "portalUrl": "https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202605252681294", "listingType": "FEATURED_LISTING", "title": "BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo", "subtitle": "3.0 630d M Sport GT Auto xDrive Euro 6 (s/s) 5dr", "attentionGrabber": "M SPORT PLUS", "make": "BMW", "model": "6 Series Gran Turismo", "trim": "M Sport", "year": 2018, "condition": "used", "mileage": 49885, "registration": "2018 (18 reg)", "registrationDate": "06/06/2018", "fuelType": "Diesel", "bodyType": "Hatchback", "transmission": "Automatic", "colour": "White", "engineSizeLitres": 3, "engineSizeCc": 2993, "engineDescription": "3.0L", "drivetrain": "Four Wheel Drive", "emissionClass": "Euro 6", "doors": 5, "seats": 5, "owners": 2, "co2Emissions": "154g/km", "insuranceGroup": "44P", "taxPerYear": "ยฃ200*", "fuelConsumptionAvg": "48mpg", "priceText": "ยฃ18,868", "priceValue": 18868, "priceCurrency": "GBP", "priceIndicator": "LOW", "priceIndicatorLabel": "Lower price", "priceDeviation": "ยฃ1,857 below market average", "priceDeviationValue": -1857, "adminFee": "ยฃ99", "hasFinance": true, "sellerName": "Carsa", "sellerType": "TRADE", "sellerId": "10026616", "sellerRating": 4.1, "sellerReviewCount": 2122, "sellerLogoUrl": "https://m.atcdn.co.uk/dealer-logo/at2/adbranding/10026616/images/fpa_logo.gif", "sellerWebsite": "https://www.carsa.co.uk/autotradervehiclelocator?vehicleid=202605252681294&VRM=YD18VVK&extref=2652716&utm_source=autotrader&utm_medium=referral", "contactEmail": "marketing@carsa.co.uk", "contactPhone": "(023) 8221 7045", "location": "Can be moved to 62 miles away", "distanceMiles": 0, "description": "Experience luxury and innovation with this stunning white BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo.

`changeType` โ€” one of `NEW`, `UPDATED`, `UNCHANGED`, `REAPPEARED`, `EXPIRED`. Default output covers `NEW` / `UPDATED` / `REAPPEARED`; set `emitUnchanged: true` or `emitExpired: true` to opt into the others. - `isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt` โ€” populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set `skipReposts: true` to drop detected reposts from the output. ### How to scrape Auto Trader 1. Go to [Autotrader UK Car Scraper](https://apify.com/blackfalcondata/autotrader-uk-scraper?fpr=1h3gvi) in Apify Console. 2. Enter a search keyword and optional location filter. 3. Set `maxResults` to control how many results you need. 4. Enable `includeDetails` if you need full descriptions, contact info, equipment and emissions data. 5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish. 6. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel. ### Use cases - Extract listing data from Auto Trader for market research and competitive analysis. - Track pricing trends across regions and categories over time. - Monitor new and changed vehicles on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time. - Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode. - Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses. - Benchmark seller / dealer reputation using rating fields. ### How much does it cost to scrape Auto Trader? Autotrader UK Car Scraper uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/paid-actors/pay-per-event) pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced. - **Run start:** $0.005 per run - **Per result:** $0.00075 per listing record Example costs: - 10 results: **$0.013** - 25 results: **$0.024** - 100 results: **$0.08** - 200 results: **$0.15** - 500 results: **$0.38** #### Example: recurring monitoring savings These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of vehicles that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency โ€” the scenarios below are examples, not predictions. Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count. | Churn rate | Full re-scrape run cost | Incremental run cost | Savings vs full re-scrape | Monthly cost after baseline | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | 5% โ€” stable niche query | $0.08 | $0.00875 | $0.07 (89%) | $0.26 | | 15% โ€” moderate broad query | $0.08 | $0.02 | $0.06 (80%) | $0.49 | | 30% โ€” high-volume aggregator | $0.08 | $0.03 | $0.05 (66%) | $0.82 | Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $2.40. First month with incremental costs $0.33 / $0.55 / $0.88 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply. Platform usage (compute and proxies) is billed separately by Apify based on actual consumption. Incremental runs consume less on result processing, though fixed per-run overhead stays the same. ### FAQ #### How many results can I get from Auto Trader?
