Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## CarGurus Vehicle Listings Scraper Extract used and new vehicle listings from [CarGurus](https://www.cargurus.com) — the U.S. auto marketplace with over 5 million active listings and CarGurus' proprietary deal-rating system (Great Deal / Good Deal / Fair Deal / High Price / Overpriced). This actor parses vehicle data directly from CarGurus browse pages. No browser required — listing data is available in the server-rendered HTML via CarGurus' Remix streaming architecture, enabling fast and cost-efficient extraction at scale. ### What you get Each listing record includes: - **listing_id** — CarGurus internal listing identifier - **title** — Full listing title (e.g. `2022 Toyota Camry LE`) - **make / model / year / trim** — Vehicle identity fields - **price** — Listed asking price in USD (number) - **deal_rating** — CarGurus' proprietary price intelligence: `Great Deal`, `Good Deal`, `Fair Deal`, `High Price`, `Overpriced`, or `null` (no rating) - **mileage** — Odometer reading in miles (number) - **vin** — Vehicle Identification Number - **exterior_color / interior_color** — Color descriptions when available - **transmission / drivetrain / fuel_type / engine** — Powertrain specs when available - **dealer_name / dealer_city / dealer_state / dealer_phone** — Seller info - **dealer_rating / dealer_review_count** — Dealer ratings when present - **days_on_market** — How long the listing has been active - **listing_url** — Direct CarGurus listing URL - **photos** — Array of photo URLs - **scraped_at** — ISO 8601 timestamp ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchUrls` | array | **required** | One or more CarGurus browse/search page URLs | | `maxItems` | integer | 15 | Maximum total listings to return across all URLs | #### How to get a `searchUrl` Navigate to CarGurus and filter by make, model, year, zip code, price range, or any combination. Copy the URL from your browser. Examples: ```` https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Toyota-Camry-d448 https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Toyota-Camry-d448?zip=90210\&distance=200 https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Toyota-Camry-d448?zip=10001\&distance=100\&minPrice=15000\&maxPrice=25000 https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-New-Honda-Civic-d2282 ```` CarGurus browse URLs follow the pattern `/Cars/l-{Used|New}-{Make}-{Model}-d{carId}`. ### Example output ```json { "listing_id": 449258845, "title": "2022 Toyota Camry LE", "make": "Toyota", "model": "Camry", "year": 2022, "trim": "LE", "price": 24995, "deal_rating": "Great Deal", "price_vs_market": null, "mileage": 18000, "exterior_color": "Silver", "interior_color": "Black", "transmission": "8-Speed Automatic", "drivetrain": "Front-Wheel Drive", "fuel_type": "Gasoline", "engine": "2.5L 4-Cylinder", "vin": "4T1C11AKXNU123456", "dealer_name": "Toyota of Los Angeles", "dealer_city": "Los Angeles", "dealer_state": "CA", "dealer_phone": null, "dealer_rating": null, "dealer_review_count": null, "vehicle_history": null, "days_on_market": 3, "listing_url": "https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?listing=449258845", "photos": [ "https://static.cargurus.com/images/forsale/2026/06/01/00/00/2022_toyota_camry-pic-999-1024x768.jpeg" ], "scraped_at": "2026-06-11T14:32:00.000Z" } ```` ### Use cases - **Price benchmarking** — Track market prices by make/model/trim/region over time - **Deal discovery** — Filter by `deal_rating: "Great Deal"` to find below-market vehicles - **Inventory monitoring** — Track dealer stock and days-on-market for specific models - **Market research** — Aggregate pricing data across multiple models and geographies - **Competitive analysis** — Compare your inventory pricing against market comps ### Notes - Browse pages return up to 20 listings per page. This actor scrapes from the first page of each URL. - `price_vs_market` and `vehicle_history` fields are not available on browse pages and will always be `null`. - CarGurus' deal rating compares the listing price to similar vehicles in the local market. - Some listings may not have all fields populated (e.g. mileage or VIN not disclosed by seller). # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): List of CarGurus browse URLs to scrape.
