❓ Frequently asked questions

Do I need an API key or an account? No. This Actor reads a public feed.

What happens if the source blocks the run? A refused exit IP is replaced within a quarter of a second, up to five times, before the Actor tries anything else. If nothing gets through, the run fails with the reason — it never reports success with zero rows, because "there is no such data" and "the source would not answer" are very different answers and you should not have to guess which one you got.

How do I schedule this? Use the Schedules tab. Daily is usually enough; the sources here do not change by the minute.

Can I get the results into Google Sheets or a database? Yes — use the dataset export, or the Apify API and integrations. Every run writes a SUMMARY record to the key-value store with the outcome and counts, which is handy for monitoring an automated pipeline.

💰 Pricing

Pay per result. You are charged for the rows you receive and nothing else, so a run that finds nothing costs nothing.

⚖️ Legal

This Actor collects publicly available information only. It does not log in, does not bypass access controls, and collects no private data. You are responsible for using the output in line with the source's terms and with applicable law, including GDPR where personal data is involved.

How much CarWale data can you extract in one run?

A single run returned 33 vehicle listings in 8 seconds on the example input. That example is deliberately narrow; the result limit and the input list are both yours to widen. That is roughly 247 vehicle listings a minute.

There is no hard ceiling built into this Actor. What bounds a run is the result limit you set, the breadth of the input you give it, and how much CarWale itself publishes. Because billing is per result, a wider run costs proportionally more and a narrow one costs almost nothing — so it is worth starting small and scaling once the output looks right.

CarWale scraping — frequently asked questions

Do I need a CarWale API key, account or login?

No. This Actor reads publicly available pages and feeds, so there is nothing to register for and no credentials to manage.

How do I export CarWale data to CSV, Excel, JSON or Google Sheets?

Open the Storage tab after a run and pick the format you want — CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or an HTML table. For Google Sheets, Airtable or a database, use the dataset URL or the Apify API so the sheet refreshes itself on every run.

Can I schedule this CarWale scraper to run daily or hourly?

Yes. Use the Schedules tab and pick a cadence. Daily is enough for most tracking work; pick hourly only if the vehicle listings you care about really do change that fast.

How many vehicle listings can I get, and what does it cost?

See the volume section above for a measured figure. Billing is per result, so you pay for the rows you actually receive and a run that finds nothing costs nothing.

Is scraping CarWale legal?

This Actor collects only information that CarWale publishes publicly. It does not log in, does not defeat access controls and does not touch private data. You remain responsible for how you use the output, including under GDPR and similar rules where personal data is involved.

What happens if CarWale blocks the run or changes its layout?

A refused exit IP is swapped for a fresh one within a quarter of a second and retried, and rate limiting is waited out rather than fought. If nothing gets through, the run fails with the reason instead of reporting success with zero rows — so an empty result always means "no matches", never "the source would not answer".

Can I use this with an AI agent, LangChain or an MCP client?

Yes. The Actor is callable over the Apify API and through Apify's MCP server, so an agent can run it and read the dataset back as a tool call.
