CarGurus Scraper

Scrape car listings from CarGurus (US, Canada, and UK) by ZIP/postal-code search or by pasting a CarGurus search URL. Returns one clean, flat JSON record per car — including VIN, price, total price, MSRP, CarGurus deal rating, deal score, mileage, dealer name + phone, days on market, drivetrain, fuel type, MPG, photos, and more.

Built for dealers, resellers, and automotive analysts who need fresh inventory and pricing intelligence, and for AI agents that need structured car data from a single query. HTTP-only, fast, and MCP-ready.

When to use it

• Dealer / reseller price intelligence — track competitor inventory and deal ratings in your market.
• Lead generation — VIN + dealer name + phone per listing.
• Market research — price differentials vs. CarGurus Instant Market Value, days-on-market trends.
• AI agents — a single ZIP-based query returns structured listings as JSON.

Do not use this for CarGurus dealer reviews or for non-CarGurus sites (Cars.com, CARFAX, AutoTrader have their own scrapers).

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

• $0.00005 per actor start
• $0.005 per listing returned

A run that returns 100 listings costs about $0.50. Pay-per-usage (compute + proxy) is also available — pick whichever billing model you prefer at run time.

Example input

{
  "country": "US",
  "postalCode": "90210",
  "distance": 50,
  "make": "Toyota",
  "model": "Camry",
  "minYear": 2019,
  "maxMileage": 60000,
  "sortBy": "deal_score",
  "maxResults": 100
}

Advanced: paste a search URL

Filter on CarGurus in your browser (trim, body type, specific make/model), copy the results-page URL, and paste it into searchUrls. The actor reuses every filter in that URL and paginates through all matching results.

{
  "country": "US",
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?zip=10001&distance=50"
  ],

}

How it works

The actor calls CarGurus' inventory search JSON endpoint directly over HTTP through Apify's datacenter proxy with browser-grade TLS, paginating until your maxResults is reached. Price, year, mileage, make, and model filters are enforced on the returned data so results always match your input. No browser is launched, so runs are fast and cheap.

Notes & limits

• US is the most reliable marketplace; CA and UK are supported and tested but served through US-region proxies.
• CarGurus may cap a single search at a few thousand results — narrow your radius or filters for deep inventory.
• Deal ratings, scores, and price differentials are CarGurus' own computed values.
