AutoScout24 Listings — One Row per Car, $0.0006 Each

What it does: Returns the AutoScout24 car listings that match your search on one country site, one row per car, at a flat rate per row.

You enter: Searches, each with a make, e.g. {"make": "bmw", "model": "3-series"}, and a country (default de).

You get: One row per car: price, make, model, variant, registration year, mileage, fuel, transmission, power (kW), dealer or private, seller country, URL; plus the site's total count and whether its 200-page ceiling was hit.

Price: $0.0006 per car delivered. No start fee, no monthly fee. No results = no charge.

Example: enter make bmw, model 3-series (Germany) → 11,005 cars found · one row: BMW 318 Touring · 2011 · 118,300 km · Benzin · Automatik · €11,900 · private seller

Pricing — the flat rate, and no start fee

$0.0006 per car delivered. Every plan. No start fee. No monthly rental.

You are charged for cars that are actually in your dataset — the event fires with the number of records pushed, never with the number you asked for and never with the site's hit count. A search that matches nothing costs nothing.

Because there is no start fee, the advantage is biggest on small and frequent runs. A 100-car run costs 29% less than the cheapest alternative and 41% less than the next; if you run a 100-car check hourly, that is $52.56 a year against $74.46 and $83.22. On very large single runs the start fee stops mattering and the saving settles at 25-33% on the per-car rate alone.

Input

{
  "searches": [
    { "make": "bmw", "model": "3-series", "priceTo": 20000, "yearFrom": 2018 },
    { "make": "audi", "model": "a4", "mileageTo": 100000 }
  ],
  "maxListings": 200,
  "country": "de"
}

field	meaning
searches	one object per search. make is required (AutoScout24's robots.txt disallows the make-less search).
maxListings	cars per search, 10-4000. Default 100.
country	de, at, be, es, fr, it, lu, nl. Default de.

Search keys applied: make, model, priceFrom, priceTo, yearFrom, yearTo, mileageTo (prices in EUR, years are registration years, mileage in km). Every one of them is checked against the server's own echo of the query before a single record is emitted — see below. Any other key is ignored, and the run log says which ones and that the results are not filtered by them.

Model slugs differ per country front-end (3er on .de, serie-3 on .fr). You do not have to know them: a wrong-but-recognisable slug such as 3-series is followed to the canonical one and the search runs normally.

The 200-page ceiling — the thing every AutoScout24 scraper hits

AutoScout24's numberOfPages saturates at 200. Measured: 200 pages for a 4,981-car search, 200 for an 11,008-car search, and 200 for the 62,000-car BMW population. At ~20 listings a page that is a hard wall at roughly 4,000 cars, and it applies to every scraper on the platform, including this one and including every competitor above. No amount of runtime gets past it.

So a "10,000 BMWs" claim is not a thing anyone can deliver, and a 4,000-row dump of an 11,000-car market is 36% of that market, not the market.

Every record therefore carries:

• totalFound — the site's own exact hit count for your search;
• pagesReported — numberOfPages as returned;
• pagesCeilingHit — true when that number is 200, i.e. the site stopped enumerating and there are cars you cannot reach.

When the ceiling is hit the run log says so explicitly. To reach the rest of the market, split the search with priceFrom/priceTo, yearFrom/yearTo or mileageTo into slices that each stay under ~4,000 cars.

Placeholder prices (priceIsPlaceholder)

Dealers use the price field for things that are not prices: price-on-request, a deposit, a parts-only car. On the cheapest page of bmw/3er the first two listings are €1, and the third is €400.

These are not filtered out — you paid for the rows and you get them — but each one is flagged priceIsPlaceholder: true and counted in the run log, so "cheapest car" never means "€1 non-price". The cut is on price alone (≤ €100). The site's own priceLabel (top-price, toolow-price, unknown) is passed through untouched but is not used for the flag: it is a price evaluation and appears on perfectly real cars at €10,900.

Seller details are not emitted

Company name, contact person, phone numbers, seller id, street, postcode and city are never read from the page and never appear in a record. The only seller facts you get are sellerType (Dealer / PrivateSeller) and sellerCountry (a two-letter country code). Detail pages are never requested — /angebote/ is disallowed by robots.txt, so the listing URL is emitted for you to open, not fetched.

If you need dealer contact data, this Actor is not the tool and will not become it.

Output

One record per car, "type": "listing":

{
  "type": "listing",
  "search": "bmw/3-series",
  "country": "de",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "totalFound": 11005,
  "pagesReported": 200,
  "pagesCeilingHit": true,
  "id": "44a79204-d10d-4551-95ae-24061aa1f969",
  "url": "https://www.autoscout24.de/angebote/bmw-3er-touring-318i-...",
  "price": 11900,
  "priceLabel": "unknown",
  "priceIsPlaceholder": false,
  "make": "BMW",
  "model": "318",
  "modelGroup": "3er",
  "variant": "Touring",
  "registrationYear": 2011,
  "firstRegistration": "03-2011",
  "mileageKm": 118300,
  "fuel": "Benzin",
  "transmission": "Automatik",
  "powerKw": 105,
  "sellerType": "PrivateSeller",
  "sellerCountry": "DE",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-10T..."
}

price, mileageKm, registrationYear and powerKw are numbers, not strings; a value the page does not carry is null, never 0 and never "". Field names and text come from the country front-end you searched, so a German run says Benzin and Automatik.

How it stays honest

• The redirect echo-check. AutoScout24 answers 308 when a slug is not the canonical one for the front-end, and the redirect target has the query string stripped. A naive scraper follows it and returns a perfectly plausible page of the unfiltered population — right shape, right make, wrong cars. This Actor re-attaches the query by hand and then refuses any response whose pageQuery does not echo every filter it sent.
• The sort is never the site default. sort=standard is tier- and ad-weighted (a measured page was 20/20 dealers). Enumeration always uses sort=age&desc=1 — newest listing first, independent of price and stable across pages.
• Paid placements are dropped. Promoted (Nfm) and OCS slots sit inline among the organic hits and look identical; they are excluded and counted, so you are not charged for adverts.
• Charged = pushed. The run log prints both, and they are asserted equal.

Limits

• Asking prices of live listings, not transaction prices.
• ~4,000 cars per search maximum — the site's wall, not ours (above).
• One page every 1.5s, and a run stops paging before the 300s Actor timeout rather than being killed mid-write; a truncated search says so in the log.
• autoscout24.ch is deliberately unsupported: it is a separate operator quoting CHF, and mixing currencies into one feed is not worth it.

If something goes wrong

• Wrong number or a failed run? Open a ticket on the Issues tab. I read every one and reply within 2 business days (Japan time).
• You never get a fake "empty" result. If the site can't be read, the run fails and says so.
• No results = no charge. You only pay for results you actually get.
• Checked every week. An automatic test runs this tool weekly; if the site changes, I fix it.
• Public pages only. No login, no personal data, and it goes easy on the site.
