Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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. ### Related Actors | Mobile.de | Truck1 | Car-Part | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | [Mobile.de Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/mobile-de-scraper) | [Truck1 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/truck1-scraper) | Car-Part Scraper ◄── you are here | ### When to use this Actor - **Parts price benchmarking** — Compare recycler asking prices for engines, transmissions, body panels, lighting, and electronics by vehicle year and model. - **Local sourcing** — Sort by distance from a buyer ZIP and export supplier phones and emails. - **Interchange-aware searches** — Take the first option, match a trim/VIN label, or walk all interchange choices. - **Exact browser searches** — Paste a `search.cgi` URL to resume a filtered results set without re-entering the form. ### Data pipeline ```` Input Flow Output ───────────────────── ───────────────────── ────────────────────────── year + makeModel + part ──► catalog resolve + form POST ──► interchange (optional) startUrls (search.cgi) ──► paginate results pages ──► quoteForm + table parse ZIP + sort + location ──► US residential HTTP ──► price, grade, contacts, images ```` ### Key Features - **Catalog resolution** — Fuzzy-matches make/model and part names against the live dropdown catalog (1,600+ models, 700+ part types). Prefer exact labels like `Engine` or `Headlight Assembly`. - **Structured quote fields** — Reads `quoteForm.cgi` parameters (stock, price, email, seller id) for reliable records. - **ARA grade & core charge** — Captures part grade and core / exchange fees when shown. - **Supplier contacts** — Name, phone, email, website, city / state / country, live chat flag. - **Images** — CDN photo URLs when recyclers upload pictures. - **US residential proxy default** — Required for stable access to `search.cgi` behind Cloudflare. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `startUrls` | Array | `[]` | Car-Part `search.cgi` result URLs. Skips the form when set. | | `year` | Integer | — | Vehicle year (required for form search). | | `makeModel` | String | — | Catalog make/model, e.g. `Toyota Camry`. | | `part` | String | — | Catalog part name, e.g. `Engine`. | | `userZip` | String | — | ZIP / postal code for distance sorting. | | `userLocation` | String | `USA` | All States / USA / Canada / Mexico. | | `sortBy` | String | `price` | `price`, `zip`, `grade`, `year`, `condition`. | | `interchangeMode` | String | `first` | `first`, `match`, or `all` interchange options. | | `interchangeQuery` | String | — | Substring for `match` mode (e.g. `2.5L`). | | `vin` | String | — | Optional VIN for Smart VIN search. | | `maxItems` | Integer | `100` | Max listings to collect (`0` = unlimited). | | `maxPages` | Integer | `20` | Max result pages per interchange branch. | | `concurrency` | Integer | `3` | Parallel page fetches (1–10). | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | US RESIDENTIAL | Apify Proxy — US residential required. | #### Input example — form search ```json { "year": 2019, "makeModel": "Toyota Camry", "part": "Engine", "userZip": "90210", "userLocation": "USA", "sortBy": "price", "interchangeMode": "first", "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` #### Input example — result URL ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?userDate=2013&userModel=Volkswagen%20Golf%20GTI&userPart=Engine&userZip=06095&userPreference=price&userPage=1" } ], "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` ### Output Format Each dataset item is one recycler part offer: | Field | Description | | :--- | :--- | | `listingId`, `sessionId` | Composite listing key; search-session token | | `year`, `makeModel`, `partName` | Donor vehicle and part type | | `description`, `interchangeCode` | Condition / interchange notes | | `price`, `priceFormatted`, `coreCharge`, `currency` | Pricing | | `partGrade`, `stockNumber`, `mileage` | Grade, stock tag, donor miles | | `supplierName`, `supplierPhone`, `supplierEmail`, `supplierWebsite` | Recycler contacts | | `country`, `stateProvince`, `city`, `distanceMiles` | Location & distance from ZIP | | `liveChatAvailable`, `imageUrls` | Chat flag and photo URLs | | `scrapedAt` | UTC ISO timestamp | #### Output example ```json { "listingId": "1127-3S2523-2010-3120", "sessionId": "13000000735758473", "year": 2010, "makeModel": "Audi A3", "partName": "Engine Assembly", "description": "2.0L,AT,AWD,W/TURBO", "price": 3120, "priceFormatted": "$3120", "coreCharge": null, "currency": "USD", "partGrade": "A", "stockNumber": "3S2523", "mileage": 0, "supplierName": "All Foreign Auto Parts - PRP Freight, CDC", "supplierPhone": "412-782-5580", "supplierEmail": "info@allforeignautoparts.com", "supplierWebsite": "http://Www.AllForeignAutoParts.com", "sellerId": "1127", "country": "USA", "stateProvince": "PA", "city": "Pittsburgh", "distanceMiles": 390, "liveChatAvailable": true, "imageUrls": ["https://wsimgky.car-part.com/3885/2023/3S2523/3885_396029_01.jpg"], "dbPart": "300.1", "dbModel": "75.29.1.1", "interchangeCode": "CDFDE", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-24T16:00:00Z" } ``` ### 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`. ### Related Actors | Actor | Link | | :--- | :--- | | Mobile.de Scraper | [apify.com/crawloop/mobile-de-scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/mobile-de-scraper) | | Truck1 Scraper | [apify.com/crawloop/truck1-scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/truck1-scraper) | # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Paste Car-Part search result URLs (cgi-bin/search.cgi?...). Skips the year/model/part form when provided.
