CarsIreland.ie Vehicle Details Scraper: Extract Irish Automotive Market Data

Introduction

CarsIreland.ie is Ireland's premier online automotive marketplace, connecting buyers and sellers across the Irish vehicle market. The platform hosts thousands of vehicle listings ranging from new and used cars to commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and specialty automobiles. With detailed specifications, pricing data, seller information, and vehicle history checks, CarsIreland.ie serves as the primary resource for automotive transactions throughout Ireland.

For automotive dealers, market analysts, pricing consultants, and businesses operating in the Irish vehicle market, accessing structured vehicle data is essential. Manual collection of detailed vehicle information is time-consuming and impractical when analyzing market trends, tracking competitor inventory, or building comprehensive pricing databases.

The CarsIreland.ie Vehicle Details Scraper automates this extraction process, enabling systematic collection of vehicle specifications, pricing data, seller details, and history information from individual listings.

Scraper Overview

The CarsIreland.ie Vehicle Details Scraper is a specialized tool designed to extract comprehensive data from individual vehicle listing pages on Ireland's leading automotive marketplace. Using advanced automation, it captures detailed vehicle specifications, pricing information, seller data, media content, and history verification details.

Key advantages include residential proxy support for reliable Irish market access, configurable retry mechanisms for handling connection issues, and simultaneous processing of multiple vehicle listings. The scraper is valuable for automotive dealers tracking competitor inventory and pricing, market researchers analyzing Irish vehicle market trends, pricing intelligence firms building valuation models, fleet managers sourcing vehicles, and data analysts constructing automotive market databases.

The tool extracts rich vehicle metadata including advertiser information, comprehensive specifications, sale conditions, media assets, vehicle history checks, and timestamp data for temporal analysis.

Input Format

The scraper uses JSON configuration focused on extracting detailed information from specific vehicle listing pages.

{
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IE"
  },
  "max_retries_per_url": 2,
  "urls": [
    "https://www.carsireland.ie/4291450?journey=FeaturedListing"
  ]
}

The urls parameter: Add URLs of specific vehicle detail pages you want to scrape. Paste URLs individually or use Bulk edit for prepared lists. These should be direct links to individual vehicle listings, not search results pages.

The max_retries_per_url parameter: Set retry limit for each URL if scraping is detected as bot activity or page loading fails. Default value of 2 balances thoroughness with efficiency.

The proxy parameter: Configure proxies for maintaining anonymity and avoiding detection. For optimal CarsIreland.ie access, use Irish residential proxies (apifyProxyCountry: "IE") to reduce blocking likelihood and improve reliability.
