Output

Each record contains the following fields (empty fields are omitted):

Field	Type	Description
title	string	Listing title (Year Make Model Trim)
url	string	iSeeCars listing URL
listingId	string	iSeeCars internal listing ID
vin	string	Vehicle Identification Number
year	integer	Model year
make	string	Manufacturer name (e.g. Toyota)

condition	string	used or new
exteriorColor	string	Exterior paint color
listingDetailsIncomplete	boolean	Present (true) ONLY when iSeeCars served a soft-degraded results page (its anti-bot mitigation strips the per-listing detail table) — the record is then missing the rich detail fields below. The actor retries such pages automatically; this flag marks records from a run where every retry still came back degraded, so downstream pipelines can detect and re-run them instead of trusting missing fields.

engine	string	Engine description (e.g. 4-cylinder)

Frequently Asked Questions

How many listings can I scrape? iSeeCars serves geo-located results (~20-22 per region). This scraper cycles through 40 major US metro ZIP codes (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, etc.) to collect diverse nationwide results. Up to 500 listings per run.

Do I need an API key or login? No. iSeeCars listings are publicly accessible without authentication.

What does priceRating mean? iSeeCars analyzes every listed price against similar vehicles in the area: great (significant discount) > good > fair > high (priced above market).

What is the goodDeals mode? It filters to only cars iSeeCars has flagged as "Great Deals" — cars priced below market value. Useful for finding the best value vehicles quickly.

What is savings? The dollar amount this car is priced below similar vehicles in the area (e.g. savings=1500 means the car is $1,500 below typical market price).

Can I filter by electric vehicles? Yes, use fuelType: "ELECTRIC" in the input.

What ZIP code should I use? The scraper uses its own built-in list of 40 major US metro ZIP codes to collect nationwide results. Setting zip in the input makes that your starting point.

Can I sort the results? Yes, use sortBy (e.g. priceAsc for cheapest first). iSeeCars' own search page does not expose a working server-side sort parameter, so this scraper collects a larger candidate pool across regions first and sorts it client-side before returning maxItems results.

Why does the url field end in #cars-for-sale#id=... instead of a normal listing page path? iSeeCars renders listing detail as a client-side (JavaScript) view keyed by that ID fragment rather than a separate server-rendered URL per listing — opening the link in a real browser loads that specific car. A plain curl/bot request (no JS execution) will just see the generic search page, the same behavior noted below for iSeeCars' anti-bot layer.

Note on the url field / anti-bot: like RentCafe and similar sites in this collection, iSeeCars blocks requests whose TLS fingerprint doesn't match a real browser — a plain curl gets a 429/403 even though the URL opens normally in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. This scraper uses a Chrome-TLS-fingerprint HTTP client to fetch pages server-side; end users clicking the output url in their own browser are unaffected.

Are imageUrl links always reachable? The vast majority (~90% in testing) load directly; iSeeCars' own image CDN (t1-t4.iseecars.com`) occasionally 403s a small fraction of image links even from a real-browser user agent, independent of proxy/IP — this is an upstream CDN quirk affecting the source data itself, not a bug in how the actor extracts the URL.
