How it works

• Input one or more Autotrader.com.au search URLs (any make, model, state, or price filter)
• Actor reads the API's last_page field to determine total pages per search automatically
• max_pages acts as an optional cap if you want to limit depth
• Each listing is fetched and 30+ data points are extracted from the page and API response
• Results are available in JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify dataset

Why this scraper

• Uses the site's own API last_page value to determine pagination scope — no guessing or hardcoded limits
• Extracts both advertised price and driveaway price, giving a more complete cost picture than most alternatives
• Returns GPS coordinates per dealer location, enabling state-level and city-level geographic analysis
• Includes VIN and registration data — useful for cross-referencing against other databases
• No proxy configuration needed; Apify proxy is used by default
