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 runs the same Adevinta Next.js engine as OTOMOTO and Standvirtual, and publishes no public API. This Actor wraps a polite scrape of the listings — 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). Built on curl-cffi with rotating browser TLS impersonation and residential-proxy session rotation to ride past DataDome.

🔥 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 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.

Example: 1 000 results at the rates above ≈ $2.05. No subscription, no minimum, no card to start — Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit.

🚧 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. autovit.ro is fronted by DataDome; residential proxies are strongly recommended and 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 scrapes the public car listings politely — 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.

Why might a run get blocked?

autovit.ro is fronted by DataDome. We rotate browser TLS fingerprints and residential-proxy sessions and retry with backoff; on a hard ban the Actor fails loudly rather than returning an empty dataset.
