Car-Part Scraper — Used Auto Parts Prices, Grades & Recycler Inventory

Disclaimer: Unofficial integration for publicly accessible Car-Part search results. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Car-Part.com / Hollander or related trademarks. Provided for informational and research use only. You must comply with applicable laws and platform terms.

Scrape used auto parts inventory from North America's largest recycler marketplace network. Extract structured listings: part name, donor year / make / model, asking price, core charge, ARA part grade, stock number, mileage, supplier name / phone / email / website, distance from ZIP, live-chat flag, and part photos.

Search by year + make/model + part type (resolved against the live catalog) or paste existing search.cgi result URLs. Handles interchange refine pages, multi-page results, and US residential proxy defaults for Cloudflare.

Best for: used-parts price intelligence, salvage / recycler sourcing, body-shop inventory checks, core-charge research, and ZIP-distance supplier shortlists.

Notes

• Proxy: Datacenter IPs typically receive Cloudflare 403 on cgi-bin/search.cgi. Keep US residential enabled.
• Exact catalog names: Prefer exact part labels (Engine, not a free-text synonym). The Actor fuzzy-matches, but exact values are more reliable.
• Interchange all: Can multiply requests significantly — pair with a tight maxItems / maxPages.
