AutoTrader.ca Scraper — Cars, Price, Mileage & Dealer

What is AutoTrader.ca Scraper — Cars, Price, Mileage & Dealer?

AutoTrader.ca Scraper returns Canadian vehicle listings from AutoTrader.ca as a dataset, one row per vehicle, from structured filters, pasted search URLs or direct listing URLs. Each row has make, model, trim, model year, condition, asking price in CAD, mileage in km, transmission, fuel type, dealer name, dealer phone, dealer street address and postal code, photos and the listing URL. Optional detail enrichment adds the full description, all photos, VIN when published, feature list and GPS coordinates. Dealers, used-car buyers, lenders, market analysts and AI agents use it to price vehicles and track inventory across Canada.

Why car teams use this AutoTrader.ca scraper

• Search the way buyers do. Filter by make, model, province, city, condition, price range, year range and mileage range.
• Dealer contact on every row. dealerName, dealerPhone, street, city, province and postalCode come with listing-level rows.
• Numbers ready for analysis. priceCad and mileageKm are numbers, with the display strings kept in priceFormatted and mileageRaw.
• Three ways in. Structured filters, searchUrls copied from the browser, or directUrls for specific vehicles.
• Model-year filtering on the real model year. yearMin and yearMax check each vehicle's year field after the fetch.

Best fit for this Actor

• Best fit for new and used vehicles listed on AutoTrader.ca, from a single city to a whole province.
• Use structured filters for repeatable market pulls and searchUrls when you have already refined a search in the browser.
• For US listings with the same fields, use Autotrader Scraper — US Car Listings, Prices & Dealers.
• To compare the same model's asking prices in the US market, then pass the make and model to Car Listings Scraper for CarGurus.

Used cars in one city	{"make": "toyota", "model": "corolla", "province": "BC", "city": "Vancouver", "condition": "used", "priceMax": 25000, "maxMileageKm": 80000}

A search refined in the browser	{"searchUrls": ["https://www.autotrader.ca/cars/bmw/x5/reg_on/cit_toronto?pricefrom=20000"]}

Example workflow: from a model and city to a pricing sheet

A used-car dealer in Calgary starts with make set to honda, model set to cr-v, province set to AB, condition set to used and yearMin set to 2020. The dataset returns each CR-V's year, trim, priceCad, mileageKm, dealerName and url. He exports the rows to a spreadsheet, compares asking price against mileage to set his trade-in offers, and schedules the same input weekly so he can see which competing dealers cut prices. For the three closest competitors he reruns their listing URLs with enrichDetails on to read the full description and feature list.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. Each run charges one Actor Start event, one Listing scraped event per vehicle row, and one Detail enriched event per vehicle when enrichDetails is on. Platform usage is billed on top at Apify's standard rates. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current event prices.

Worked example: a city search with maxResults at 50 costs up to 50 Listing scraped events plus one Actor Start event. The same search with enrichDetails on adds up to 50 Detail enriched events and one extra page visit per vehicle.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Actor through Apify MCP in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and ask:

Find used Honda CR-Vs from 2020 or newer in Alberta under 35,000 dollars. Return year, trim, price, mileage, dealer and phone, cheapest first.

The agent sends the make, model, province, condition, price and year filters, then reads rows with get-dataset-items. It should cite each vehicle's url and scrapedAt. Every saved vehicle is one Listing scraped event, so agents should set maxResults to the number of cars the user wants to review and turn on enrichDetails only for a final shortlist.

Best results

Starting situation	Helpful action	Expected outcome
You want one city	Set both province and city	Listings centered on that city
You want a whole province	Leave city empty and split large pulls by make or price band	Broad coverage in manageable runs
You refined filters in the browser	Paste that page into searchUrls	The same results, paginated
You need VIN or features	Turn on enrichDetails for a shortlist	Full detail rows
Weekly price watch	Schedule the same input and compare by id	A view of price changes over time

Builder's note

I built the listing-level row to already carry the dealer's phone and street address, because most people pricing cars want to call the dealer next, and detail pages double the work. I designed the year filter around each vehicle's model year after I found that the site's own year parameter follows a registration date that Canadian listings rarely publish.

FAQ

Does it cover AutoTrader in the US?

It covers AutoTrader.ca in Canada. For US listings, use the US Autotrader Actor linked above.

When is the VIN included?

On rows with enrichDetails on, when the dealer publishes the VIN on the listing.

Can I pull a whole province?

Yes. Split very large pulls by make, model or price band so each search stays focused.
