Paid layer — dealer contact phones: With getDealerContacts (default ON; aliases fetchDealerPhone / get_contacts), listings include dealerPhone / dealerPhoneSource when Cars.com exposes a number, and charge dealer-contact $0.001 once per such listing. SoftCTA mesh unchanged. Demo mode uses fictional 555 phones on sample rows for CEC verification only.

Scrape public Cars.com vehicle listings at scale. Search by make / model / ZIP or paste a Cars.com results URL and get clean rows: year, make, model, price, mileage, dealer name, VIN when shown, and listing URL.
Bulk-friendly, no API key, pay only for listings delivered.

Honest coverage & billing (read this): Source is Cars.com public search/listing pages (US). Fields depend on what Cars.com shows on the page — VIN is included when present. Billing is pay-per-event: Actor start $0.005 once per run + $0.002 per listing pushed via pushData (apify-default-dataset-item) + $0.01 listings-summary once per search when includeListingsSummary is on (heuristic price/mileage/make/dealer stats — no external LLM) + $0.001 dealer-contact once per listing when getDealerContacts is on and a dealer phone is present on that row. Phones are taken only from Cars.com HTML/JSON when exposed — never invented. Empty runs still incur the start event. Set demoMode: true for a fictional format sample (demo fixtures may include fictional 555 phones to verify CEC) — not live Cars.com data and not for production decisions.
