What is AutoTrader.ca Scraper?
This Actor scrapes AutoTrader.ca search results and optionally fetches each listing’s detail page. You provide one or more search URLs; the Actor returns a dataset of vehicle listings. No browser or cookies — it uses HTTP requests with Apify proxy (Canada only). It validates that URLs are from autotrader.ca and uses Apify’s platform for scheduling, API access, and proxy rotation. Run it from the Actor page or via the Apify API.
What can this Actor do?
- Multiple search URLs — Run several AutoTrader.ca search URLs in one run.
- List-only or full detail — Get list-page data only, or enable Fetch listing details for full VDP data (make, model, VIN, dealer, specs, etc.).
- Newest first — Optional sort by newest listings (
srt=9). - Configurable volume — Set max listings per URL (default 50); total results = max per URL × number of URLs.
- Platform benefits — Scheduling, API, integrations, and proxy rotation via Apify.
