AutoTrader.ca Scraper — Canada Car Listings & Prices, No Phones

Get new and used car listings from AutoTrader.ca, Canada's largest car marketplace: price in CAD and the site's price rating, model year, mileage, make, model and trim, fuel, gearbox, engine, the town, province and postal code, and the dealer. If you want, it also opens every listing for the body type, colours, drivetrain, doors, seats, equipment and the date listed. Paste your AutoTrader.ca search links — or type a make, model and postal code or town.

Why this one

• 🔗 Your search, as you set it up. Set every filter you like on autotrader.ca and paste the link. Or fill in make, model, new/used, a postal code or town with a radius (or a province), price, model year, mileage, seller type, gearbox and sort order here.
• ⚡ Fast. A live test run read four searches — 2,683 cars — in 77 seconds. The daily test input (30 RAV4s within 50 km of M5V 2T6) takes about 4 seconds.
• 🚙 Details when you need them. Tick Open every listing for its details for body type, colours, drivetrain, doors, seats, cylinders, equipment and the date listed. A live run read 375 cars with details in 38 seconds.
• 🧭 No silent surprises. AutoTrader.ca quietly widens a search when it does not know a place or a model (all of Canada instead of "Nowhereville"). This actor notices and tells you, instead of charging you for cars you did not ask for.
• 🔒 No phone numbers, no contact names. Dealers are named by their company; private sellers by nothing but their town and the first half of their postal code. Phone numbers and e-mail addresses written into titles and descriptions are replaced with [phone removed] / [e-mail removed] — in a live run of 2,683 cars, 42 numbers came out of 32 listings and none were left.
• 💸 You pay only for cars delivered. A link that is not an AutoTrader.ca search, a place or model the site does not know, or an old-style link comes back as a free record with the reason.

Pricing

You are charged per listing delivered — see the price on this page. Opening listings for their details costs nothing extra, only time. Links that are not AutoTrader.ca searches, places or models the site does not know, and old-style links are free.

FAQ

How many cars per search? AutoTrader.ca shows up to 4,000 cars (200 pages of 20) for one search. For more, split it — by province, model year or price band.

My old AutoTrader.ca link is refused. Links from before the site's 2026 redesign (with rcp=, srt=, loc=, prx= in them) are still forwarded by autotrader.ca, but without their place and sort order. Rather than hand you all of Canada, the actor returns a free record saying so. Open the link on autotrader.ca, check the place, and copy the new address.

Why do a few cars cost $1? Some dealers put $1 in the price field instead of a price (12 of 2,683 cars in a test run). The actor keeps the price as listed; filter them out with price > 1.

Why is there no VIN? AutoTrader.ca's search results do not show it, so the actor leaves it out.

Why no seller phone numbers? They are personal data. Every listing has its url; buyers contact the seller on AutoTrader.ca.

Is this affiliated with AutoTrader.ca? No. This is an independent tool that reads public AutoTrader.ca listings.
