Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this require an API key or login? A: No. The scraper uses Autoweb's public vehicle database API which does not require authentication.

Q: What data is included? A: New car model data including pricing (MSRP), MPG, body styles, passenger capacity, and images. Dealer inventory (actual for-sale listings with VINs) requires a ZIP code on Autoweb and is outside the scope of this actor.

Q: How current is the data? A: The Autobytel vehicle database is updated regularly with new model year data.

Q: Can I get specific trim data? A: The defaultStyleId field in each record can be used to request additional trim details from the Autobytel API.

Q: Why does AutoWeb scraper use the Dealix/Autobytel API? A: Autoweb.com is a Next.js application that loads its vehicle data client-side from the Autobytel/Dealix API. This actor queries that same public API directly, which is more reliable and efficient than browser automation.

Q: Can I search used car listings? A: This actor returns car model information (MSRP, specs, images). For actual used car listings with dealer inventory and VINs, check the sister actor for UsedCars.com.
