🚗 Be Forward Scraper

Want Japanese export cars from Be Forward without clicking through stock pages? This scraper makes it easy.

Use structured filters (make, type, fuel, year, FOB price) — structured filters work better for AI agents — or paste an input_url from your browser once you've already filtered on Be Forward. When input_url is set it overrides the filters below. Either way, you get clean CSV/JSON with FOB prices, specs, locations, and photos.

✨ Why you'll love this scraper

• 🔗 Input URL or Filters: Paste a Be Forward /stocklist URL (input_url) if you already filtered in the browser, or use structured filters (better for AI agents). input_url always wins when set.
• 🎯 Website-Matched Filters: Make, vehicle type, fuel, steering, and transmission use the same option values as beforward.jp.
• 🇯🇵 Built for Japan export stock: Covers the public Be Forward inventory with FOB USD prices.
