✨ Tips and advanced options

• Leave includeDetails off for bulk market scans. It is off by default and is noticeably faster when you only need listing card data.
• Turn includeDetails on when you need full technical specs, equipment lists, service history, or photo galleries for each car.
• Combine filters for precision. "make=Tesla, fuelType=Electric, maxPrice=40000" gives you every electric Tesla under £40K.
• Schedule daily runs via Apify Schedules to track new listings and price changes over time.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping Cinch legal? This actor extracts publicly visible car listings that anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for ensuring your use case complies with Cinch's Terms of Service and applicable laws. Do not scrape private data beyond what is publicly displayed.

Does it work from non-UK IPs? Yes. Cinch has no geo-fencing. Tested from US and EU datacenter IPs without issues.

What if a field is empty? Some fields are optional and depend on what Cinch publishes for that listing. The default output always has make, model, year, price, mileage, basic specs, and the finance quote shown on the listing card. Turn on includeDetails to add full technical specs, equipment lists, service history, and photo galleries. Without it, those detail-page fields are empty.

How does the free trial work? New Apify users get $5 of platform credit. That is enough to run this actor roughly 5,000 times. Run a small test to evaluate data quality before spending anything.
