PCauto.com.cn Car Catalog & Price Scraper

Scrape the new-car catalog of pcauto.com.cn (太平洋汽车, PCauto), one of China's largest automotive portals. The Actor reads the site's public car-selection catalog (选车) and returns one record per car series (e.g. a model line like 速腾 or 秦PLUS) with the official price range, brand, manufacturer, vehicle class, powertrain, sale status, latest monthly sales and the full list of trims with their official prices. No login and no browser are needed — the data comes from the same public JSON endpoint the site uses.

What it collects

• Series ID, name and page URL on price.pcauto.com.cn
• Brand and manufacturer (with pcauto IDs)
• Vehicle class (紧凑型SUV, 中型车, MPV ...) and powertrain types (燃油, 纯电, 插混, 增程)
• Official price range as shown (12.99-16.69万) plus numeric minPriceCny / maxPriceCny in CNY
• Sale status (on_sale / upcoming), new-car flag, number of trims
• Latest monthly sales figure and label
• Usage tags and selling-point highlights
• Series image, brand logo, links to the price, specification and photo pages
• Optional trims: every trim (model version) with name, model year, official price and URL
