AutoTrader.com Search Scraper

Search by keyword and ZIP code — no URLs needed. Just type a keyword like Toyota Camry or electric SUV, set a ZIP code, and get structured results. Filter by year, price, mileage, body style, drivetrain, fuel, color, deal rating, vehicle history, and more — all the same filters as AutoTrader's advanced search. Returns 40+ fields per listing including sale price, KBB fair purchase price, deal ratings, vehicle history flags, specs, dealer info, and images.

Built for dealers, resellers, and market researchers who need clean, structured data across thousands of listings — without scraping URLs one by one.

Output exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets via Apify's built-in integrations.

❓ FAQ

Do I need to pass URLs? No. Just enter a keyword and ZIP code (or use defaults). The Actor builds the search URL with your filters and paginates automatically.

Does it cover all of the US? Yes — set searchRadius to 0 for nationwide. Or narrow to a metro by ZIP + a smaller radius.

Can I filter by KBB deal rating? Yes — use dealType: "goodprice" or "greatprice" to surface only deals AutoTrader flags as a good or great price vs. KBB's fair purchase price.

Can I filter by accident-free or one-owner cars? Yes — pass vehicleHistoryType: ["NO_ACCIDENTS", "ONE_OWNER"] (or any combination including CLEAN_TITLE, NO_FRAME_DAMAGE).

Can I export to Google Sheets or CSV? Yes — Apify supports JSON, CSV, Excel, and Google Sheets export out of the box.

How fresh is the data? Each run pulls live results directly from AutoTrader's search index. Schedule the Actor (every hour, daily, etc.) to keep your dataset current.
