🚘Carfolio Website Car Data Scraper 🇺🇸

Extract complete automobile specifications from carfolio.com — body type, dimensions, engine and powertrain data, performance figures, fuel consumption, chassis details and more — for any make, model, or search you're interested in. Start from a search, a single manufacturer, one specific car page, or crawl the entire site in one run. Every result is delivered as clean, structured JSON ready for the Apify API, scheduling, and your other integrations, with automatic proxy rotation so runs keep working reliably at scale.

Why use this Carfolio scraper?

Carfolio.com hosts specification sheets for tens of thousands of production and historical cars, but the site is only really browsable one page at a time. This Actor turns that into a dataset you can actually use:

• Market and competitor research — pull specs for every model in a segment (SUVs, EVs, a specific decade) to compare dimensions, power, and efficiency side by side.
• Automotive data projects — feed a structured car specification dataset into an app, a price/valuation model, or a recommendation engine.
• Enthusiast and historical archives — collect full specs for a marque's entire back catalogue, including long-discontinued models.
• Content and publishing — generate accurate spec tables and comparisons for articles, listings, or catalogs without manual data entry.

How to scrape carfolio.com car data

1. Click Try for free (or Start) to open the Actor.
2. On the Input tab, add one or more Start URLs — a search results page, a manufacturer page, or a single car's page. Or turn on Scrape whole site to crawl every manufacturer and every car listed on carfolio.com.
3. Set Max cars to how many records you want (per start URL, or in total for a whole-site run). Leave the default for a quick test, or set it to 0 for no limit.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Open the Dataset tab (or the Output tab) to browse, filter, and export your results.

Input

The Actor accepts a JSON input with the following fields (see the Input tab for the full form):

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	array	One or more carfolio.com URLs to start from: a search results page (e.g. https://carfolio.com/search/results/?terms=ford), a manufacturer page (e.g. https://carfolio.com/ford/2561/), or a single car page (e.g. https://carfolio.com/ford-model-a-tudor-sedan-364958). Ignored when scrapeWholeSite is true.
scrapeWholeSite	boolean	When true, ignores startUrls and crawls every manufacturer and every car on carfolio.com, starting from its full make index. Combine with maxItems: 0 for a complete, unrestricted crawl (this can take a very long time and produce a very large dataset).
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of cars to scrape per start URL (or in total, when scrapeWholeSite is enabled). Default 5. Set to 0 for no limit.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings. Enabled by default — carfolio.com blocks a meaningful share of requests sent without a proxy, so leaving this on gives the most reliable results.

Example input:

{
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://carfolio.com/search/results/?terms=porsche" }],
    "scrapeWholeSite": false,
    "maxItems": 20,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Output

Each dataset item is one car, with a compact set of top-level fields plus the site's complete specification table grouped by section — nothing is left out. You can download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML from the Dataset tab, or fetch them via the API.

Cost and performance

This Actor uses lightweight HTTP requests rather than a full browser, so it's fast and inexpensive to run. A run of a few dozen cars typically finishes in well under a minute on the free plan. Larger runs (a full manufacturer, or the whole site) scale linearly with the number of cars requested — use maxItems to control run size and cost, and check the Runs tab for actual usage on your plan.

Tips

• Start with a small maxItems value to preview results before committing to a large or whole-site run.
• You can mix start URL types freely — search pages, manufacturer pages, and individual car pages can all be in the same startUrls list, each with its own maxItems budget.
• A whole-site run with maxItems: 0 will scrape carfolio.com's entire catalogue, which can be very large — plan your compute unit budget accordingly.

FAQ

Is this legal? This Actor only collects publicly available specification data. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with carfolio.com's terms of service and applicable law in your jurisdiction.

Some fields are empty/null for a car — why? Not every car page has every spec filled in on the source site (older or rarer models especially). The Actor captures exactly what's published, without inventing or guessing values.
