Scrape RockAuto catalog parts by a catalog URL or by make, year, model, and part category. Each row is one part: brand, part number, price, core charge, total, fitment note, and the info link. Turn on monitor mode and an Apify Schedule to save only new parts and price, core, or availability changes.

Best for: parts-counter price checks, a scheduled watch on one category, and a catalog export of brand, part number, and core charge.

Auto parts suite — US catalog price here, then another US aftermarket price, a EUR catalog price, a used yard price, and the donor car.

When to use this Actor

• Price a repair — Open brake pads, a filter, or another category for one vehicle and export brand, part number, price, and core.
• Start from a catalog link — Paste the category URL. The run reads that listing page.
• Watch a price — Schedule the same input. The first run stores a baseline. Later runs return only new parts and changes in price, core, or the availability note.
• Compare catalogs — After this run, check another US aftermarket price with CarParts.com Scraper and a French EUR price with Oscaro Scraper. For a used yard price, run PartsHotlines Scraper, LKQ Online Scraper, or Car-Part Scraper. To find the donor car, run Row52 Scraper or Pick-n-Pull Scraper.

This Actor reads public catalog pages. It does not log in, place orders, or open account pages. It does not walk every category of a vehicle in one run.

Data pipeline

Input                         Flow                         Output
─────────────────────        ─────────────────────        ──────────────────────────
catalog URL              ──► listing HTML             ──► brand, part number, price
make / year / model      ──► matching part type       ──► core, fitment, info link
monitorMode + Schedule   ──► named key-value store   ──► new, price, or core change

Key features

• Catalog URL or vehicle — Paste a listing URL, or pass make, year, model, and a part category such as brake pad.
• One part type at a time — The walk opens the matching category. maxPartTypes caps how many category pages a broader name can open.
• Price and core — Selling price, core charge, and total, in the currency the catalog prints for that request.
• Fitment note — The listing note, such as front or rear and the trim, plus a closeout or remaining-stock label when the page shows one.
• Monitor — Baseline on the first run. Later runs charge only new parts, price drops, price rises, and core or availability changes.

• A reseller schedules one category and reads only the rows whose price dropped.
• A catalog team exports brand, part number, core charge, and fitment for a single part type.
• A buyer compares the new-part price from this Actor with used recycler prices from the Car-Part Scraper.

FAQ

Does the first monitor run return parts?
Yes. The first run with an empty monitor store returns parts up to maxItems and stores every part scanned on the opened pages. The next run returns only changes.

What does a zero-row monitor run mean?
The catalog page still loaded. No scanned part was new, and none of the stored prices, core charges, or availability notes changed.

Why is the currency sometimes EUR?
The price and currency are whatever the catalog prints for that request. A run from another region can show a different currency. Compare prices inside one monitor store only when the runs use the same region.

Do I need a proxy?
No. Leave the proxy off. If a run fails because the catalog returned a captcha, turn a proxy on and run again.

Can I scrape a whole vehicle?
Pass a part category, or paste the category URL. maxPartTypes limits how many category pages one run opens.
