AUTO.RIA Ukraine Car Scraper

---

🎯 What this scrapes

AUTO.RIA (auto.ria.com) is Ukraine's largest car marketplace with around 300,000 live used-car ads. This Actor discovers listing IDs through AUTO.RIA's own search backend, then enriches each car from its detail page — pulling the structured Vehicle data (make, model, year, mileage, fuel, transmission, body type, color, VIN, price in USD or UAH, and photo gallery) plus the full seller description. Paste a filtered AUTO.RIA search URL or scrape the whole used-car catalogue. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation and Apify Proxy.

🔥 What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per page, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.

💡 Use cases

• Used-car price intelligence — track asking prices by make / model / year across Ukraine.
• Dealer inventory monitoring — diff successive runs to catch new arrivals and price drops.
• Market analytics — aggregate mileage, fuel-type, and transmission mix for a segment.
• Lead generation — build a directory of private sellers and dealers by region.
• Import / export sourcing — find specific models with VINs for cross-border resale.

💰 Pricing

Pay-Per-Event — you pay only when these events fire:

Event	USD	What it is
actor-start	$0.05	One-off warm-up charge per run
result-row	$0.002	PPE event

Example: 1 000 results at the rates above ≈ $0.05. No subscription, no minimum, no card to start — Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit.

🚧 Limitations

Some fields (engine power, VIN, exact posting date) are only present on a subset of listings and come back null when AUTO.RIA omits them. Prices are quoted by sellers and may be negotiable. AUTO.RIA's search backend paginates the catalogue; very deep pagination beyond a few thousand results can repeat or thin out, so target queries with a Search URL when you need a specific slice.

❓ FAQ

What currency is the price in?

AUTO.RIA quotes most cars in US dollars; currency reflects what the listing uses (USD, EUR, or UAH). When the page also shows a hryvnia figure we surface it in price_uah.

Can I scrape a filtered search?

Yes. Paste any AUTO.RIA results URL into searchUrl — its filters (brand, model, price, region, year) are forwarded to AUTO.RIA's search backend so you only get matching cars.

Can I disable detail enrichment?

Yes — set enrichDetails to false to return just the listing IDs and URLs, halving the request count. Enable it for the full vehicle record.

Is this an official AUTO.RIA API?

No. AUTO.RIA offers a separate keyed developer API; this Actor scrapes the public website politely. See the ToS note in the README.

How many cars can I get?

AUTO.RIA lists around 300,000 used cars. The Actor paginates through the catalogue up to your maxResults cap (max 1000 per run).
