Autovit Romania Car Scraper

---

🎯 What this scrapes

autovit.ro is Romania's largest car marketplace and the default place Romanians buy and sell used cars (autoturisme). It publishes no public API. This Actor collects the listings for you — paste a filtered autovit search URL or use the default car listing page, and pull every listing's price, currency, make/model, year, mileage (km), fuel, gearbox, power, body type, colour, seller type, and photos. Flip on detail enrichment and we fetch each listing's page for the full Romanian description and the complete spec sheet (gearbox, transmission, colour, body type, generation). Runs use the Apify Proxy RESIDENTIAL group.

🔥 What we handle for you

• 🌐 Residential proxy support via Apify Proxy.
• 🔁 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.
• 🧊 Consistently structured dataset rows — validated fields, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay per output — no Actor start fee. You pay for the output events listed in Pricing.

💡 Use cases

• Used-car price analytics — track asking prices by make/model/year across the Romanian market in EUR and RON.
• Dealer inventory monitoring — diff successive runs to spot new arrivals and price cuts at specific dealers.
• Market research — aggregate fuel-type and gearbox mix to gauge EV/hybrid and automatic adoption in Romania.
• Lead generation — build a directory of Romanian car dealers from seller_name + location.
• Arbitrage / sourcing — find under-priced listings filtered by mileage, year, and power.

🚧 Limitations

autovit.ro paginates 32 listings per page and very deep result sets eventually stop returning new pages — large queries cap out well before the full inventory. Gearbox, transmission, body type, and colour are only present on the detail page, so they are populated only when detail enrichment is on. The Actor requires the Apify Proxy RESIDENTIAL group and will refuse to run without it; very high request rates may still be throttled.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an autovit account or API key?

No. autovit.ro offers no public API. This Actor collects the public car listings — see the ToS Notice in the README.

How do I scrape a filtered search?

Apply your filters on autovit.ro, copy the resulting URL from your browser, and paste it into searchUrl. We walk the result pages from there.

What currency are prices in?

Autovit lists in both EUR and RON. We read each listing's own currency code and surface it in currency; price is an integer in that currency.

Is the detail enrichment worth it?

It adds the full Romanian description plus gearbox, transmission, body type, colour, and generation per listing at the cost of one extra request each. Price, make/model, year, mileage, fuel, power, and seller all come from the search payload — set enrichDetails to false to halve requests.

What happens if the site refuses a run?

The Actor retries temporary failures a limited number of times. If the site still refuses access, the run fails with a clear message rather than returning an empty dataset.
