AutaBuy Scraper

AutaBuy (autabuy.com) is a US vehicle marketplace for classic cars, used cars, trucks, motorcycles, parts, and dealer inventory. This actor collects structured vehicle listing data from AutaBuy search result and vehicle detail pages.

Introduction

The AutaBuy scraper starts from search result or detail URLs, goes through result pages, and extracts structured vehicle data such as listing ID, title, year, make, model, price, colors, engine, transmission, seller details, location, description, and images.

Use Cases

• Market research: Track vehicle pricing, dealer inventory, availability, and listing metadata for selected keywords or categories.
• Classic car monitoring: Watch newly listed classic and collectible vehicles over time.
• Lead generation: Build structured vehicle and seller datasets for enrichment and outreach workflows.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed BI tools, dashboards, CRMs, and internal warehousing.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): AutaBuy search result or vehicle detail URLs.
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of vehicle detail items to extract per start URL.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.

Notes:

• Crawling stops per source URL when maxItems is reached.
• Proxy usage is recommended for better stability.
