Carsoup Scraper

Carsoup (carsoup.com) is a US vehicle marketplace for new and used cars. This actor collects structured vehicle listing data from Carsoup search result pages.

Introduction

The Carsoup scraper starts from Carsoup search result URLs, paginates through result pages, and extracts structured vehicle listing data such as title, listing URL, price, mileage, location, dealer name, image URL, VIN, and listing attributes.

Use Cases

• Market research: Track vehicle prices, models, inventory, and regional availability.
• Dealer monitoring: Monitor listings from specific locations or search result pages.
• Inventory tracking: Build datasets of available vehicles for analysis and comparison.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed BI tools, dashboards, and internal data workflows.

Input

Provide the following fields:

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

Notes:

• The actor is designed for Carsoup search result pages such as /for-sale/....
• Crawling stops per source URL when maxItems is reached.
• Detail pages are not crawled because they are outside the main website flow targeted by this actor. The actor extracts data available on listing cards.
• Proxies are recommended for stability because Carsoup may block direct datacenter requests.

Input Examples

1) Start URLs

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.carsoup.com/for-sale/White-Pigeon-MI?currentPage=2&r=50&resultsPerPage=30&sorting=distance+asc&ss=active"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

{
  "title": "2026 KIA Seltos EX",
  "url": "https://www.carsoup.com/details/New/KIA/Seltos/SUV/2026/KNDERCAA3T7929793-54746?srp_link=...",
  "price": "$30,465",
  "priceAmount": 30465,
  "priceLabel": "Sale Price",
  "mileage": "0 Mi.",
  "location": "Niles, MI",
  "dealerName": "Tyler Kia",
  "imageUrl": "https://d25hqhdfvc6x6o.cloudfront.net/?url=...",
  "year": "2026",
  "make": "KIA",
  "model": "Seltos",
  "trim": "EX",
  "vin": "KNDERCAA3T7929793",
  "attributes": [
    "New",
    "Automatic",
    "FWD",
    "Blue",
    "4 Cyl.",
    "26 Days on site"
  ]
}

The scraper paginates through listing results and stops when maxItems is reached per start URL or when no more result items are found.
