Standvirtual Portugal Car Scraper

---

🎯 What this scrapes

Standvirtual.com is Portugal's largest car marketplace and the default place Portuguese buyers and dealers trade used cars (carros usados). It publishes no public API. This Actor wraps a polite scrape of the carros listing — paste a filtered Standvirtual search URL or use the default listing page, and pull every listing's price (EUR), make/model/version, year, mileage (km), fuel, gearbox, engine power and size, seller type, location, and photos. Flip on detail enrichment and we fetch each listing's page for the full Portuguese description, body type, and colour. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation.

🔥 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 Portuguese market.
• Dealer inventory monitoring — diff successive runs to spot new arrivals and price cuts at specific stands.
• Market research — aggregate fuel-type and gearbox mix to gauge EV/hybrid adoption in Portugal.
• Lead generation — build a directory of car dealers from seller_name + location.
• Arbitrage / sourcing — find under-priced listings filtered by mileage, year, and power.

🚧 Limitations

Standvirtual paginates 32 listings per page and very deep result sets eventually stop returning new pages — large queries cap out well before tens of thousands of rows. Body type and colour are only available via detail enrichment. Detail enrichment adds one request per listing and roughly doubles run time. Standvirtual is protected by DataDome; a residential proxy is strongly recommended.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Standvirtual account or API key?

No. Standvirtual offers no public API. This Actor scrapes the public carros listing politely — see the ToS Notice in the README.

How do I scrape a filtered search?

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

Is the detail enrichment worth it?

It adds the full Portuguese description, body type, and colour per listing at the cost of one extra request each. Price, specs, seller, location, and photos all come from the search payload — set enrichDetails to false to halve requests.

What currency are prices in?

Standvirtual prices are in EUR; the Actor reads the currency code from each listing and reports it in currency. Mileage is always in kilometres.

Why does Standvirtual need a residential proxy?

Standvirtual sits behind DataDome anti-bot. Datacenter IPs get challenged; Portuguese residential exits sail through. The Actor defaults to RESIDENTIAL and rotates sessions on any block.
