Why use Kavak Car Listings Scraper?

• The only Apify Actor covering Kavak's multi-country inventory — Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, UAE in one place
• No DOM scraping — extracts data directly from RSC (React Server Components) payloads, making it resilient to visual frontend changes
• Sub-cent per listing — approximately $0.01–0.02 per page (~24 listings), under $0.001 per car record
• Multi-country from a single Actor — switch countries with one dropdown, no separate deployments
• Anti-bot resilient — uses Camoufox (stealth Firefox) with Apify proxy rotation to handle Kavak's Cloudflare protection
• Structured, analysis-ready output — clean JSON with all listing fields, ready to drop into a spreadsheet, database, or BI tool
• Filter by make and model — narrow results to specific vehicles instead of scraping everything
• Full pagination support — scrape thousands of listings by increasing the page limit

How to use

1. Open the Actor's input page in Apify Console
2. Select your target country (mx, br, ar, cl, or ae)
3. Optionally enter a car make (e.g. toyota) and model (e.g. camry) to filter results
4. Set maxPages to control how many pages to scrape (each page ≈ 24 listings)
5. Click Start
6. Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect via the Apify API

Tip: Start with Mexico (mx) — it has the largest Kavak inventory and is the best country to test filters and validate output before scaling to other markets.

Pricing and cost

A single page run scrapes ~24 cars and costs approximately $0.01–0.02 in Apify platform credits — under $0.001 per car record.

The Actor uses browser-based scraping with Camoufox (stealth Firefox), which consumes more resources than HTTP-only scrapers but is required to bypass Kavak's anti-bot protection reliably.

---

Tips

• Use make/model filters to pull focused datasets — useful for tracking a specific vehicle across countries or over time
• Switch residential proxies on if you encounter 403 errors — Kavak's Cloudflare detection is aggressive on datacenter IPs
• Increase navigation timeout if scraping through slow proxy endpoints — the default is already 120s but JavaScript-heavy pages can be slow
• Schedule runs via Apify's built-in scheduler to track price changes over time automatically
• Pipe output to Google Sheets using the Apify → Google Sheets integration for a live pricing dashboard without any code

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Kavak? Web scraping of publicly available data is generally legal in most jurisdictions. Always review the target website's Terms of Service and comply with applicable data protection laws. This Actor is provided for research and educational purposes.

Why am I getting a 403 Forbidden error? Kavak uses Cloudflare and aggressive anti-bot measures. Your IP has likely been flagged. Fix:

1. Switch to Residential Proxies in the Proxy Configuration section (strongly recommended)
2. If already using residential proxies, try rotating to a different proxy group
3. The Actor already uses Camoufox (stealth Firefox) to minimize browser fingerprinting

The scraper returned no results — what happened? Kavak may have updated their RSC payload format. If the parser stops returning results after a previously working run, open an issue on the Issues tab. The Actor is actively maintained.

Can I scrape all listings, not just one page? Yes. Increase the maxPages input to scrape multiple pages. Each page contains approximately 24 listings. For massive datasets, use filters to segment the crawl.

Can I get pricing data for a specific car across all countries? Yes — run the Actor once per country with the same make/model filters, then merge the datasets. This is useful for cross-market price comparison (e.g. Toyota Corolla pricing: Mexico vs Brazil vs UAE).

What countries are supported? Mexico (mx), Brazil (br), Argentina (ar), Chile (cl), and UAE (ae).
