AutoTrader.ca Scraper · Canada

Scrape vehicle listings from AutoTrader.ca — Canada's largest automotive marketplace. Search by make, model, location, price, year, body type, fuel, transmission, colour and power — no URL building required — or paste any AutoTrader.ca URL. Every car comes back fully detailed: price, mileage, specs, dealer name + phone, location, all photos, stock number, and optional VIN + CarFax. New and used, every province. One clean row per vehicle, JSON or CSV.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

• Search by filters, not URLs — pick make, model, location, radius, price, year, mileage, condition, body type, fuel, transmission, colour and power right in the input. No hand-building AutoTrader.ca URLs (though you can paste those too).
• VIN + CarFax (optional) — flip one toggle and every car also carries its VIN and CarFax-availability flag, plus dealer phone number and stock number on every row.
• Full detail, not just the card — every listing is expanded into a complete record: technical specs, dealer info, location with coordinates, the full description, and all photos.
• Canada-wide — every province and territory, new and used, dealer inventory. Search one city with a radius, or all of Canada at once.
• Clean structured output — data comes from AutoTrader.ca's own mobile API as JSON, so there are no fragile HTML selectors to break.
• Smart resolution — make/model names become category codes and cities become geocoded provinces + radius automatically. You type "Toyota Corolla in Toronto", we handle the rest.
• Pay per result — one dataset row per vehicle, no padding.

📥 Supported inputs

Input	Example	Notes
Search filters	Make: Toyota, Model: Corolla, Location: Toronto	All optional — combine any of them
Search (SRP) URL	https://www.autotrader.ca/cars/toyota/corolla/on/toronto/?prx=100&pRng=10000,25000	Pasted from the browser address bar
Listing (VDP) URL	https://www.autotrader.ca/a/toyota/corolla/.../5_70046900_.../	Narrows the search to that make/model near that city

Not supported: auction-only listings, private classified sections behind a login, and non-AutoTrader.ca URLs (these are skipped with a warning).

🔄 How it works

1. Read your input. Start URLs win if present; otherwise the search filters are used. Leave the location empty to search all of Canada.
2. Resolve. Make + model are looked up to AutoTrader's internal category code; the city/postal code is geocoded to a province + radius.
3. Search. The actor queries AutoTrader.ca's mobile GraphQL API and walks every results page (100 cars per page) until your maxItems cap.
4. Enrich. Each result is expanded into a full detail record — specs, dealer, every photo, and the description.
5. Filter. Price, mileage, condition, and sort run on the API; the year range is enforced on every row.
6. Emit. One flat, self-contained row per vehicle is pushed to the dataset.

❓ FAQ

Does it cover all of Canada? Yes — every province and territory. Set a city + radius to scope it, or leave the location empty to search nationwide.

Can I just paste a URL from AutoTrader.ca? Yes. Copy any search-results or listing URL from your browser into startUrls. The actor reads the make, model, location, price, and year range from the URL.

New cars, used cars, or both? Both by default. Use the condition filter to restrict to new or used only.

How many results can I get? As many as the search returns, up to your maxItems cap. The actor paginates through every page automatically.

Why is firstRegistration or powerHp sometimes empty? Canadian listings don't always populate every field (they're keyed on model year rather than registration date). Those fields are null when the source omits them.

Can I filter by drivetrain (AWD) or by dealer vs. private seller? Those aren't filterable on this API — the marketplace doesn't expose a drivetrain or seller-type search parameter. Both values are still in the output (driveTrain, dealer.type), so you can filter the results yourself after scraping. For specific equipment (e.g. all-wheel-drive package), use the advanced equipmentIds field.

Is the VIN included? Turn on Add VIN + CarFax availability (enrichVehicleHistory) and each row gets its vin and carfaxAvailable flag. It's off by default because it adds one extra web request per vehicle. The dealer's phone number (dealer.phone) and stock number (stockNumber) are always included.

Do I need a proxy? A Residential proxy (country CA) is recommended for reliability and is pre-configured by default.
