## Pricing

from $3.00 / 1,000 listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Coches.net Scraper — Spain Used Cars & Prices

> **Disclaimer:** Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Adevinta Spain S.L.U. or its affiliates. Data is read from publicly accessible search and category pages only. No login. You are responsible for complying with applicable law (including GDPR where personal data appears) and the site’s terms. No warranty on accuracy or availability. Provided for informational and research use.

**Coches.net scraper** for used-car listings in Spain. Each row is a public search card: asking price in EUR, the site’s average price and price rank, year, kilometres, fuel, horsepower, city, province, and seller type (dealer or private). Export the dataset as JSON or CSV. Use it as a **Coches.net API alternative** from **Python**, **Node.js**, **cURL**, or **Apify MCP**.

**Best for:** dealer comps on one make, a price-band check against the site average, and a scheduled run that saves only new ads and price changes.

| Actor | Role |
| :--- | :--- |
| Coches.net Scraper ◄── you are here | Spain used-car search cards, market average, price rank, price monitor |
| [AutoScout24 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/autoscout24-scraper) | Europe used-car listings |
| [mobile.de Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/mobile-de-scraper) | Germany vehicle listings |
| [Otomoto Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/otomoto-scraper) | Poland car listings |
| [Cars.com Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/cars-com-scraper) | United States vehicle listings |

### When to use this Actor

- **One make or model** — Set Make to Seat, BMW, or Volkswagen, and optionally Model to Ibiza or Golf. Leave Search URLs empty.
- **A filtered search you already built** — Paste the category URL. Make, price, year, mileage, fuel, and seller type are ignored when Search URLs is set.
- **Price versus the site average** — `priceAverage` and `priceRank` come from the search card. `priceRank` is the site’s 1–5 code.
- **New ads and price cuts** — Turn on monitor mode and schedule the same search. The first run stores a baseline and saves nothing. Later runs save new listing ids and price changes.

### When not to use this Actor

- **A hidden phone** — The row includes a phone only when the search card already shows one. This Actor does not open the listing page to reveal a hidden number.
- **Motorbikes on a different host** — This card reads car search pages. It does not cover the motorcycle site.
- **A national dump in one run** — Cap `maxItems` (400, about twelve pages). Split by make, province, or price.
- **Germany or the rest of Europe** — Use [mobile.de Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/mobile-de-scraper) or [AutoScout24 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/autoscout24-scraper).

### Key features

- **Search cards** — One request returns about 35 listings. Default **256 MB**. No browser.
- **Market average and price rank on the card** — Kept when the search page includes them.
- **Make and model, or a pasted URL** — Price, year, kilometres, fuel, and seller type are optional.
- **Dealer versus private** — `sellerType` is `dealer` or `private`.
- **Monitor** — Named key-value store of listing id and last price for that search.

### Use cases

- Compare asking prices for one model inside a year and price band, and keep rows whose `price` is under `priceAverage`.
- Split a dealer watchlist by make and export city, seller type, and mileage to a sheet.
- Schedule monitor mode each morning and export only listings whose price moved.
- For German asking prices on the same makes, run [mobile.de Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/mobile-de-scraper). For listings across Europe, run [AutoScout24 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/autoscout24-scraper).

const run = await client.actor("crawloop/coches-net-scraper").call({
  make: "Seat",
  model: "Ibiza",
  minYear: 2018,
  maxItems: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### Python

```python
import os

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("crawloop/coches-net-scraper").call(run_input={
    "make": "BMW",
    "maxPrice": 25000,
    "fuel": "diesel",
    "sellerType": "dealer",
    "maxItems": 100,

### Suite next step

This Actor covers Spain car search cards. For used cars across Europe, run [AutoScout24 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/autoscout24-scraper). For Germany, run [mobile.de Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/mobile-de-scraper).

### FAQ

**Does this open every listing page?**
No. Rows are the search cards. A phone is included only when that card already shows it.

**What if the run is blocked?**
Some networks receive a short bot page instead of the search results. Turn proxy on and choose residential in Spain, then run the same input again.

**What does monitor mode skip?**
Listing ids already stored for that same search, unless the asking price changed. A quiet tick writes zero rows. The first run only fills the baseline.

**Is the average price always present?**
No. Some cards omit `priceAverage` or `priceRank`. Those fields are left off the row.

**How do I export the dataset?**
Each saved listing is one dataset row. Download JSON, CSV, or Excel from the run, or read the items with the Apify API from Node.js or Python.

# Actor input Schema

Brand used when Search URLs is empty. Example: Seat, BMW, Volkswagen. Spaces become underscores in the URL.

## `model` (type: `string`):

Model used with Make. Example: Ibiza, Golf. Ignored when Search URLs is set.
