Otomoto scraper for car listings in Poland. Each row is a public search card: asking price in PLN, year, mileage, fuel, gearbox, city, seller type (private or dealer), price evaluation, and the CEPiK flag when the card includes it. Use it as an Otomoto API alternative from Python, Node.js, cURL, or Apify MCP.

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

Actor	Role
Otomoto Scraper ◄── you are here	Poland car listings, price evaluation, CEPiK, price monitor
Allegro Scraper	Poland marketplace products
mobile.de Scraper	Germany vehicle listings

When to use this Actor

• One make — Set Make to Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota, or another brand. Leave Search URLs empty.
• A filtered search you already built — Paste the search URL. Make and the price, year, and mileage fields are ignored when Search URLs is set.
• Price versus the site’s evaluation — priceEvaluation is the code on the card (for example IN). Cards with no evaluation omit the field.
• 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

• Seller phone numbers — Those are not read. The row is the search card, not the listing page.
• A national dump in one run — Cap maxItems (320, ten pages of 32). Split by make or price.
• German inventory — Use mobile.de Scraper. For Polish marketplace products, use Allegro Scraper.

Key features

• Search cards — One request returns up to 32 listings. Default 256 MB. No browser.
• Price evaluation and CEPiK on the card — Kept when the search payload includes them.
• Make, or a pasted URL — Price, year, and mileage filters are optional.
• Private versus dealer — sellerType is private or dealer.
• Monitor — Named key-value store of listing id and last price for that search.

});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("crawloop/otomoto-scraper").call(run_input={
    "make": "BMW",
    "maxPrice": 60000,
    "maxMileage": 150000,
    "maxItems": 32,

FAQ

Does this open every listing page? No. Rows are the search cards. Phone numbers are not requested.

What if the run is blocked? Datacenter IPs receive HTTP 403. The input proxy must be Apify residential in Poland.

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 price evaluation always present? No. Some cards leave it empty or mark it as none. Those rows omit priceEvaluation.
