🚘 UK Used Car Data Scraper 6 Websites 🇬🇧

Search 6 UK used car marketplaces at once, from a single input. Give it a make and model and it queries PistonHeads, Cinch, Exchange & Mart, Arnold Clark, Gumtree, and AutoTrader concurrently, returning one unified dataset instead of running six separate scrapers by hand.

What does Used Car Data Scraper UK do?

Used Car Data Scraper UK searches multiple UK used car sites for the same make/model in a single run: PistonHeads, Cinch, Exchange & Mart, Arnold Clark, Gumtree, and AutoTrader - the UK's largest marketplace. Every result lands in one dataset with a consistent set of fields and a source field showing which site it came from.

Why use Used Car Data Scraper UK?

• Cross-site price comparison - see what the same make/model is going for across enthusiast, dealer-group, and marketplace sites in one table.
• Broader coverage - catch listings a single-site search would miss (private sellers on Gumtree, dealer stock on Arnold Clark, enthusiast cars on PistonHeads).
• One input, one dataset - no need to run and merge six separate Actors yourself.
• Market research - get a fuller picture of a model's UK market than any single site shows.

How to use Used Car Data Scraper UK

1. Go to the Input tab.
2. Set Make (required) and Model (optional - leave empty to search the whole make).
3. Optionally pick specific Sites to search - by default this runs the 5 fast sites and skips AutoTrader (which needs a real browser and residential proxy, so it's slower).
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Open the Dataset tab - filter by source to see results from a specific site, or view everything together.

Input

Field	Type	Description
make	String	Car make to search for, e.g. bmw (required).
model	String	Car model to search for, e.g. 3-series. Leave empty to search the whole make.
sites	Array	Which sites to search. Leave empty for the default fast set (everything except AutoTrader).
maxItemsPerSite	Integer	Maximum listings to collect from each site (default: 30).
proxyConfiguration	Object	Used only by AutoTrader (required there). Other sites don't need a proxy.

Example input:

{
    "make": "bmw",
    "model": "3-series",
    "sites": ["pistonheads", "cinch", "exchangeandmart", "arnoldclark", "gumtree", "autotrader"],
    "maxItemsPerSite": 30
}

Output

Each listing is saved as one item, tagged with which site it came from:

{
    "source": "cinch",
    "url": "https://www.cinch.co.uk/used-cars/bmw/3-series/details/842d15d9-fc01-4cd9-9c49-bbb2d7e52371",
    "title": "318i Sport 4dr",
    "image": "https://eu.cdn.autosonshow.tv/4828/15317/VA67HJX/e01_md.jpg",
    "make": "BMW",
    "model": "3 Series",
    "price": 9000,
    "currency": "GBP",
    "year": 2018,
    "mileage": 70621,
    "fuelType": "Petrol",
    "transmission": "Manual",
    "sellerName": null,
    "location": "Marshall Hyundai Hereford",
    "condition": "used"
}

Data table

Field	Description
source	Which site this listing came from (pistonheads, cinch, exchangeandmart, arnoldclark, gumtree, or autotrader)
url	The listing's own page on that site
title, make, model	Vehicle identification
price, currency	Asking price (GBP)
year, mileage, fuelType, transmission	Core spec, where the site provides it
sellerName, location	Who's selling it and where, where shown
condition	Trade/private/used, as each site labels it
image	Listing photo URL

Not every site returns every field - each site module only fills in what that site actually publishes; everything else is null rather than guessed.

Pricing / Cost estimation

How much does it cost to run this Actor? Pricing depends on your Apify plan's compute unit rate, how many sites you select, and (if AutoTrader is included) residential proxy usage. The 5 default sites are all fast, no-browser requests; AutoTrader adds real browser time on top.

Tips for better runs

• Leave AutoTrader out of sites for quick, cheap runs - add it back in when you specifically need its (much larger) inventory.
• Use exact make/model slugs matching each site's own URL format where possible (e.g. 3-series not 3 series) for the best match rate.
• Use the Apify Schedule feature to re-run this Actor periodically and track price changes across all six sites at once.

FAQ

Is this legal? This Actor only collects publicly visible listing data. You are responsible for using the data in accordance with each site's Terms of Service and any applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

Why did one site return 0 results? Some sites only match on specific make/model slug formats - check that site's own URL structure if a search comes back empty. A single site failing (e.g. a transient block) doesn't stop the other sites' results from being returned. If you opt into AutoTrader (off by default), note it currently returns 0 results for every search - its make/model filter needs further work.
