Subito.it Automotive Scraper: Extract Italian Car Listings Data Efficiently

Introduction: Unlocking Italy's Premier Automotive Marketplace

Subito.it stands as Italy's leading online classifieds service and the country's second-largest e-commerce platform, serving over 16 million buyers and sellers monthly across 38 categories. In the automotive vertical, the platform hosts thousands of listings from both private sellers and professional dealerships, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the Italian used car market.

For automotive businesses, market researchers, price comparison platforms, and data analysts, manually collecting data from Subito.it's vast automotive inventory is impractical and time-consuming. The Subito.it Automotive Details Scraper solves this challenge by automating the extraction of detailed vehicle information, enabling users to access structured data from multiple listings simultaneously. Whether you're analyzing market trends, monitoring competitor pricing, building automotive databases, or conducting market research, this scraper provides the foundation for data-driven decision-making in Italy's vibrant automotive sector.

• Flexible Geographic Targeting: Allows proxy configuration by country, enabling users to simulate local access patterns for more reliable results
• Retry Mechanism: Built-in retry logic handles temporary connection issues, ensuring robust data collection even with unstable connections
• Structured Output: Returns data in a clean, organized format ready for analysis, database integration, or application development

Input Format

The scraper accepts JSON configuration with specific parameters to control the extraction process:

{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2, // Maximum waiting time when accessing the links you provided.
  "proxy": { // Add a proxy to ensure that during the data collection process, you are not detected as a bot.
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL" 
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "SG" // You should choose an Country that coincides with the Country you want to collect data from
  },
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "urls": [ // Links to automotive information pages.
    "https://www.subito.it/auto/fiat-punto-natural-power-x-neopata-auto-perfetta-salerno-620662384.htm",
    "https://www.subito.it/auto/fiat-punto-1-3-mjt-ii-75-cv-5-porte-lounge-napoli-620650979.htm",
    "https://www.subito.it/auto/fiat-punto-evo-1-4-natural-power-easy-salerno-619584339.htm"
  ]
}

Parameter Explanations:

• max_retries_per_url (integer): Defines how many additional attempts the scraper makes if initial access fails. A value of 2 provides a balance between reliability and speed. Higher values increase success rates but extend execution time for problematic URLs.

• proxy (object): Critical for avoiding detection and rate limiting, especially when scraping multiple pages:

  • useApifyProxy (boolean): Enables Apify's proxy infrastructure
  • apifyProxyGroups (array): "RESIDENTIAL" proxies mimic real user behavior, significantly reducing detection risk compared to datacenter proxies
  • apifyProxyCountry (string): Two-letter country code. For Subito.it, using "IT" (Italy) is recommended for best results, though the example shows "SG" (Singapore) as an alternative

• urls (array): List of complete Subito.it automotive listing details URLs. Each URL must be a direct link to a vehicle detail page, not category pages or search results. You can include multiple URLs to process batch extractions efficiently.

ignore_url_failures allows continuing to the next url even if the previous page has an error.

Important Requirements:

• URLs must be from Subito.it's automotive section
• Each URL should point to a specific vehicle listing page
• URLs must include the complete path with listing ID
• Residential proxies significantly improve success rates for Italian websites
• Consider using Italian proxies (IT) for optimal geo-targeting

The scraper extracts an extensive range of automotive data fields, each serving specific analytical and business purposes:

Complete Output Fields:

1. Category Slug: The URL-friendly category identifier (e.g., "auto", "fiat-punto"). This field helps in categorizing and filtering data, particularly useful when building multi-category databases or when analyzing specific vehicle types.

2. URL: The complete listing page URL. Essential for reference, verification, and creating clickable links in your applications. Also serves as a unique identifier for tracking listing changes over time.

3. Shop: The seller's business or dealership name (if applicable). For private sellers, this field may be empty. This distinction between professional dealers and private sellers is crucial for market segmentation analysis.

4. Shop Google Reviews: Aggregated Google review data for professional sellers. Includes average rating and review count, providing trust indicators that influence buyer decisions. This data is valuable for assessing seller reputation and can be used in recommendation algorithms.

5. Category Specific Data: The core vehicle information including:

   • Make, model, and variant details
   • Year of manufacture and registration
   • Mileage (kilometers driven)
   • Fuel type (petrol, diesel, natural gas, hybrid, electric)
   • Transmission type (manual, automatic)
   • Body style (sedan, hatchback, SUV, etc.)
   • Engine specifications (displacement, power)
   • Color and number of doors
   • Price in Euros
   • Vehicle condition and features

   This structured data forms the foundation for comparison tools, price analysis, and inventory management systems.

6. Internal Links: Array of related links within the listing, such as similar vehicles, seller's other listings, or category navigation. Useful for building relationship maps between listings and discovering additional data sources.

7. Favorite Counter: Number of users who have marked this listing as a favorite. This engagement metric indicates listing popularity and buyer interest level, valuable for predicting how quickly a vehicle might sell or identifying trending vehicle types.

8. Advertiser Profile: Comprehensive seller information including:

   • Seller type (private individual vs. professional dealer)
   • Contact information availability
   • Member since date
   • Location/city
   • User ID for tracking multiple listings from the same seller

   This data is essential for seller verification, fraud detection, and building seller reputation systems.

9. Trust Info: Platform-provided trust indicators such as verified seller status, identity confirmation, and any security badges. These elements help assess listing credibility and can be incorporated into risk scoring systems.

10. Shipping Costs: If the seller offers delivery service, this field contains shipping price information and available delivery methods. Increasingly important as remote vehicle purchases become more common, this data affects total cost calculations.

11. Promo: Information about any promotional features applied to the listing (e.g., "Featured Ad", "Top Ad", "Urgent"). These promotional tiers affect listing visibility and can indicate seller seriousness or urgency to sell.

12. Houston Banner: Special promotional banners or alerts displayed on the listing. These may include limited-time offers, price reductions, or special financing options that impact buyer urgency.

13. Category: The hierarchical category path (e.g., "Vehicles > Cars > Fiat > Punto"). Useful for navigation, filtering, and understanding the classification system for machine learning applications.

14. Ad: The complete advertisement description provided by the seller. This unstructured text contains valuable insights about vehicle condition, history, special features, and seller motivations. Can be processed with natural language processing for sentiment analysis or feature extraction.

15. Page Title: The HTML page title, typically containing key vehicle information in a condensed format. Useful as a human-readable summary and for SEO analysis of listing optimization strategies.

Example Output Usage:

A price comparison platform might use Category Specific Data and Price fields to show users how a specific Fiat Punto compares to similar listings. The Favorite Counter and Shop Google Reviews help rank listings by popularity and seller reputation. Advertiser Profile data enables filtering between private sellers and dealerships, while Trust Info contributes to safety scores that protect users from fraudulent listings.

Step-by-Step Usage Guide

Step 1: Gather Target URLs Navigate to Subito.it's automotive section and collect the full URLs of vehicle listings you want to scrape. Ensure each URL points directly to a vehicle detail page, not search results pages.

Step 2: Configure Your Input Create your JSON configuration file with the collected URLs. For optimal results with Italian websites, set apifyProxyCountry to "IT". Adjust max_retries_per_url based on your reliability needs—2 is generally sufficient, but increase to 3-4 for critical extractions.

Step 3: Execute the Scraper Run the scraper through your chosen platform (typically Apify). The residential proxy configuration ensures reliable access while the retry mechanism handles temporary issues automatically.

Step 4: Process Output Data The scraper returns structured data for each URL. Export to CSV for spreadsheet analysis, JSON for application integration, or directly to your database. The consistent structure ensures compatibility with analytics tools and custom applications.

Best Practices:

• Batch Processing: Process 50-100 URLs per run to balance speed and reliability. Larger batches may trigger rate limiting despite proxy usage.
• Regular Scheduling: For market monitoring, schedule scraping jobs daily or weekly to track price changes and new listings.
• Data Validation: Always verify that URLs are current and accessible before large batch runs. Subito.it may remove or relocate listings.
• Proxy Selection: Use Italian residential proxies ("IT") for best results. While other countries work, Italian IPs provide more consistent access to Italian marketplaces.
• Error Handling: Monitor failed URLs in your results. If specific listings consistently fail, they may be restricted or removed from the platform.

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Empty Results: Verify the URL is still active on Subito.it. Listings may expire or be removed after sale.
• Incomplete Data: Some fields may be optional. Not all sellers provide comprehensive information like shipping costs or shop reviews.
• Access Blocked: If experiencing consistent failures, switch proxy country to "IT" or increase the residential proxy pool.
• Slow Execution: Reduce URLs per batch or check your retry settings. High retry values on failed URLs can significantly extend runtime.

Practical Benefits and Business Applications

Time Efficiency What would take days of manual copying and data entry—visiting each listing, extracting information, organizing in spreadsheets—is completed in minutes. For businesses monitoring hundreds of listings, this represents savings of dozens of work hours weekly.

Market Intelligence Access to comprehensive, structured data enables sophisticated analysis previously impossible at scale. Track average prices by make/model, identify underpriced opportunities, monitor competitor inventory strategies, and understand seasonal pricing trends in the Italian automotive market.

Competitive Advantage Dealerships can monitor competitor pricing in real-time, adjusting their own strategies dynamically. Price comparison platforms can offer users the most comprehensive view of available inventory. Market researchers gain insights into seller behavior, promotional strategies, and market dynamics.

Real-World Applications

• Automotive Marketplaces: Aggregate Subito.it listings alongside other Italian platforms to create comprehensive search experiences

• Dealer Management: Track local market inventory to inform purchasing and pricing decisions
• Investment Analysis: Private equity and investment firms analyzing the Italian automotive retail sector
• Academic Research: Study used car market dynamics, pricing patterns, and e-commerce trends in Italy

Data-Driven Decision Making Transform subjective market understanding into quantifiable insights. Instead of guessing at fair market value, analyze hundreds of comparable listings. Rather than assuming buyer preferences, measure engagement through favorite counters and listing longevity.
