Kavak Scraper

Scrape used-car listings from Kavak — no account, no proxy, no bot-protection headaches. Supports the 4 active Kavak markets: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile.

What This Scraper Does

This actor fetches Kavak search pages and extracts every listing card's publicly visible data: title, make, model, year, mileage, asking price, monthly payment, transmission, body type, location, thumbnail, badges, and more. With Fetch Listing Details enabled, it also fetches each listing's detail page for VIN, photo gallery, fuel type, color, full specs, warranty, and financing info.

Supported Countries

Code	Country	Browse URL	Currency
mx	Mexico	/mx/seminuevos	MXN
br	Brazil	/br/seminovos	BRL
ar	Argentina	/ar/usados	ARS
cl	Chile	/cl/usados	CLP

Kavak's other historic markets (Turkey, Colombia, Peru, UAE) are not currently active or serve only landing pages.

Input

Two input modes — use either or both:

Mode 1: Country dropdown (simplest)

Select a country; the scraper uses that market's browse URL.

Mode 2: Paste Kavak URLs (Start URLs)

Apply filters on Kavak.com (brand, price, year, etc.), copy the URL, paste it as a Start URL. Covers any filter combination Kavak offers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Kavak account? No. Only publicly visible listing data is scraped.

Is a proxy required? No. Kavak has no bot protection in our testing. The actor runs reliably without proxy. Add proxy only if you're running very large scrapes and want IP rotation.

Which currency are prices in? Local currency per country: MXN (Mexico), BRL (Brazil), ARS (Argentina), CLP (Chile). The currency field is on every record.

How many listings are available per country? Mexico is the largest market (~6,000 listings). Brazil, Argentina, and Chile range from a few hundred to ~2,000 each. The scraper paginates until it hits maxItems or runs out of listings.

Can I filter by brand, year, or price? Yes — apply the filters on Kavak.com first, then paste the resulting URL into Start URLs.

What's the difference between the country dropdown and Start URLs? country picks a marketplace's default browse URL. Start URLs support any filter combination you apply on Kavak.com. You can use either or both.

How fresh is the data? Near real-time. Kavak updates inventory frequently.

What about the reference actor at apify.com/hgservices/kavak? That actor uses Camoufox (stealth Firefox) + proxy rotation, which are heavyweight defenses against bot protection Kavak doesn't actually apply. Our actor achieves the same result with plain httpx — faster, simpler, and cheaper to run.

Can I scrape a single listing by URL? Yes. Paste the listing's detail URL (e.g. https://www.kavak.com/mx/usado/bmw-x1-...-2021) as a Start URL. Enable Fetch Listing Details for full data.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Set up an Apify Schedule (daily/hourly) and dedupe downstream by stockId.
