KB Chachacha Scraper — Korean Used Cars 🚗

Scrape live used-car listings from KB Chachacha (KB차차차) — Korea's #2 used-car marketplace (~168k active listings) — as clean, structured JSON. Get make, model, trim, year, price (KRW), mileage, and region for every vehicle in one run.

The perfect second inventory source next to Encar: bundle the two and you cover the vast majority of Korea's used-car market for export sourcing, price analytics, and market research. See encar-scraper for the sibling actor.

Try it free. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit — at $2.00 / 1,000 results that's roughly 2,500 vehicles from this actor, no credit card required. Set your input, click Start, and export JSON/CSV/Excel.

What it does

This actor reads listing data straight from KB Chachacha's own public search feed (the same endpoint the website calls as you browse), so results are fast and complete — no fragile full-page scraping, no headless browser. You can scrape:

• The whole marketplace (all makes, domestic + imported), or
• A specific make (e.g. Hyundai, Genesis, Mercedes-Benz), or
• A specific make + model (e.g. Kia → K5).

Results can be sorted by newest listed, price, mileage, or model year.

Why KB Chachacha? Korea is one of the world's largest used-car export markets, and KB Chachacha — run by KB Kookmin Card — is the #2 marketplace after Encar. Exporters who already pull Encar use KB Chachacha as their second sourcing feed to widen inventory and catch cars the other market doesn't list. This actor turns that feed into a structured dataset you can filter, price-model, and pipe into your own tools.

Output

Each vehicle listing is one dataset record. price_krw is the full price in Korean won (KB Chachacha shows prices in 만원 / 10,000-won units — this actor converts them to plain KRW). mileage_km is in kilometres. region is the coarse city/province where the car is listed. title keeps the full original vehicle name.

Use cases

• Used-car export sourcing — build a live, filterable catalogue of Korean used cars (with photos, price, mileage, and year) to source vehicles for export. Run this alongside encar-scraper to cover Korea's two biggest markets in one pipeline.
• Price & depreciation analytics — track price_krw against year, mileage, make, and model to model residual values and spot underpriced listings across a second marketplace.
• Market & inventory research — measure supply by brand and region across ~168k listings, and compare KB Chachacha vs Encar inventory.
• AI agents & datasets — feed structured used-car data into pricing models, dashboards, or LLM agents.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape this data? This actor collects only public, non-personal listing data — the same used-car listings any visitor sees on kbchachacha.com without logging in. No personal or dealer data is collected. You are responsible for how you use the data; see the legality note below.

What does it cost in practice? $2.00 per 1,000 results (launch pricing) + a few cents of platform usage. Example: a 500-result daily pull costs about $1.00/day. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers ~2,500 results (5 ÷ 2 × 1,000).

Do I need to configure proxies? No — the default settings work out of the box. KB Chachacha serves its listing feed without a bot wall, so the actor runs fine on a direct connection. For very heavy pulls you can optionally enable Apify Proxy — see the proxy note below.

How fresh is the data? Every run scrapes the live KB Chachacha feed at run time. Schedule the actor for recurring snapshots (e.g. daily price tracking).

What is NOT included? Transmission (it isn't shown on the public list, only on the per-vehicle detail page that also carries dealer PII we deliberately don't fetch) and dealer contact details. Fuel is best-effort — populated only when the listing title states it. Make/model/fuel/region come as Korean strings, with a make_en convenience field for common brands.

Rate limiting & legality

• The actor collects only public, non-authenticated data. It never logs in and never touches private endpoints.
• No personal / dealer data is collected. This actor deliberately does not fetch KB Chachacha's per-vehicle detail page, which carries dealer names and phone numbers. Only vehicle attributes and a coarse listing region are returned.
• Requests are rate-limited: one page at a time with a ≥ 500 ms delay between requests, to stay gentle on KB Chachacha's servers.
• You are responsible for using the data in line with KB Chachacha's terms of service and applicable law.

Known limitations (honesty note)

• Transmission is not included (always null). It isn't shown on the public list feed — it's only on the per-vehicle detail page, which also exposes dealer PII, so per our privacy rules we don't fetch it (same policy as encar-scraper).
• Fuel is best-effort: it's populated only when the listing title states it (≈50% of listings in the live test) and is null otherwise. It is not billed as a guaranteed field.
• model / trim are parsed heuristically from the listing title. The authoritative, always-present full vehicle name is kept in the title field; trim is null when it can't be split out.
• Make/model/region are Korean strings (a make_en convenience field is provided for common brands). Model and trim are not translated.
