Autohero Cars Scraper — All Europe

Scrape used-car listings from Autohero (AUTO1 Group's B2C marketplace) across all 10 European storefronts — make, model, trim, price, monthly finance, mileage, power, fuel, transmission, drivetrain, emissions, accident & damage counts, service-book status, previous owners, dealer branch location, image, and the direct car URL. One flat row per car, straight from Autohero's own catalog API.

Why this actor

Autohero sells inspected used cars online in 10 European markets — Germany, Austria, Spain, France, Belgium (FR + NL), Italy, Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden — a combined live inventory of ~23,000 cars. This actor pulls them all as clean structured rows:

• All 10 storefronts from one actor — pick the locales you want; each is an independent country catalog with prices in the local currency (EUR / SEK / PLN).
• Autohero's own catalog API — no HTML scraping, no anti-bot, no fingerprinting. We call the same endpoint the Autohero website uses, so the data arrives pre-structured.
• ~40 fields per car in one pass — the search response carries everything, so there's no slow per-car detail fetch.
• Condition signals competitors miss — accident count, damage count, previous-owner count, service-book status, last-service date. Autohero inspects every car and exposes this; we surface it.
• Decoded, not coded — fuel type, transmission, and emission class come back as integer codes from the API; we translate them to readable labels (Petrol / Diesel / Electric / Hybrid, Manual / Automatic / Dual-clutch, EURO 5 / 6 / 6d-TEMP) while keeping the raw code too.
• Mixed input — scrape a full locale catalog, or paste direct car URLs to grab specific vehicles.

Use cases

• Used-car price intelligence — track asking prices by make/model/year/mileage across 10 markets; spot cross-border arbitrage (a model cheaper in PL than DE).
• Dealer & remarketing analytics — monitor Autohero's inventory mix, ageing, and pricing as a market signal.
• Automotive market research — fuel-mix shift (EV/hybrid share), emission-class distribution, average mileage by segment.
• Lead & inventory feeds — pipe structured car rows into your own marketplace, comparison site, or valuation model.
• Condition-aware sourcing — filter the dataset for low-accident, full-service-history cars.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Notes
locales	string[]	no	Storefronts to scrape in full. Any of de, at, es, fr, fr-be, nl-be, it, nl, pl, se. Defaults to ["de"] (largest catalog, ~7,400 cars).
startUrls	string[]	no	Optional direct car URLs (https://www.autohero.com/de/{brand-model}/id/{uuid}/). Each scrapes one car. Any /{locale}/... URL also adds its storefront to the locale set.
maxItems	integer	no	Max car rows per locale. 3 locales × maxItems: 500 → up to 1,500 rows. Each row is one paid dataset item. Default 1000. Free-tier users are capped at 100 total.
pageLimit	integer	no	Cars per API request (1–100). Default 100.
maxConcurrency	integer	no	Parallel API calls. No anti-bot, so 4–8 is comfortable. Default 6.
maxRequestRetries	integer	no	Per-request retry budget on transient errors. Default 5.
proxy	object	no	Apify Residential (any country) recommended. Direct + datacenter also work. Override the country if a locale returns empty.

Example input

{
  "locales": ["de", "fr", "it"],
  "maxItems": 500,
  "pageLimit": 100,
  "maxConcurrency": 6,
  "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

How it works

1. Resolve the plan — your locales (+ any locales implied by pasted URLs) become catalog jobs; direct car URLs become single-car lookups.
2. Page 0 per locale — a single paginated request to Autohero's structured catalog feed (scoped by country) returns the first 100 cars and the total count.
3. Parallel pagination — remaining offsets are fetched with a sliding window (limit + offset), capped by your maxItems.
4. Map + dedupe + emit — each ad is mapped to a flat row, deduped globally by vehicleId, and pushed to the dataset. Direct car URLs are fetched by id.

FAQ

Which markets are covered? All 10 Autohero storefronts: Germany (de), Austria (at), Spain (es), France (fr), Belgium French (fr-be), Belgium Dutch (nl-be), Italy (it), Netherlands (nl), Poland (pl), Sweden (se). Prices come back in each market's currency.

How many cars are there? ~23,000 across all locales at the time of writing (DE ~7,400; IT ~3,500; FR ~3,400; ES ~2,500; BE ~1,900; AT ~950; NL ~670; PL ~670; SE ~500). Inventory changes daily.

Why is maxItems per locale, not per run? So multi-country runs are predictable: ["de","fr","it"] with maxItems: 500 gives up to 500 from each (1,500 total), not 500 split arbitrarily.

Why are some fields null? Autohero doesn't publish every field for every car — dealerSalesPrice, emissionSticker, previousOwners, and a few specs are populated for most but not all listings. We never synthesize; absent data is null. The raw fuelTypeCode / transmissionCode / emissionClassCode are always present even when a new code hasn't been added to the decode map yet.

Can I scrape one specific car? Yes — paste its URL (https://www.autohero.com/de/{brand-model}/id/{uuid}/) into startUrls. It's fetched by id and emitted as one row.

What does each dataset-item charge cover? One car row with all ~40 fields. maxItems is per locale, so a maxItems: 100 run with 3 locales = up to 300 charges. The Apify Store pricing event is apify-default-dataset-item.
