Car Specs API — 102k+ vehicle variants, 19 languages, EV data
The car-specs data source built for AI agents. Search, full localized specs,
side-by-side compare, and structured filters over 102,191 vehicle
variants, 1,300+ models, 5,299+ generations, 180 spec types,
across 19 languages (including Arabic, RTL) — from cars-data.com.
No other car-specs provider covers this many European generations in this many languages. This Actor is also auto-exposed as an MCP tool, so it works directly inside Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf — not just the Apify Store.
What it does
Pick a mode and this Actor calls the matching cars-data.com endpoint and
pushes the result to the run's dataset:
mode | What it does | Required input |
|---|---|---|
search | Free-text search by brand/model/generation name | query |
get_specs | Full localized specs for one variant — 180 spec types, with confidence + freshness | variantId |
compare | Side-by-side specs for 2-4 variants | variantIds |
filter | Structured filter: fuel, body, drive, power, price, year, EV | (all optional) |
Every get_specs/compare result carries a confidence score per spec value
and a last_synced_at timestamp — so you can be honest about data freshness
instead of presenting stale or uncertain values as fact.
What's in the 180 specs
| Category | Specs | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Interior | 32 | seat material, layout, storage |
| Safety | 30 | ABS, airbags, ADAS, crash rating |
| Exterior | 21 | lights, wheels, roof, body trim |
| Fuel & Engine | 14 | displacement, cylinders, injection |
| Interior Sizes | 12 | headroom, legroom, shoulder room |
| Comfort | 15 | climate control, seats, infotainment |
| Chassis | 11 | suspension, brakes, steering |
| Weights | 9 | kerb weight, payload, towing |
| Exterior Sizes | 7 | length, width, height, wheelbase |
| Performance | 5 | 0-100, top speed, power-to-weight |
| Consumption (WLTP/NEDC) | 7 | combined/city/highway consumption |
| Electric/Hybrid | 3 | battery capacity, range, charging |
| General, Drive, Transmission, Luggage, Service, Costs | 22 | the rest of the 180 |
