AutoTrader.co.uk Scraper
How it works
This actor is designed to extract comprehensive vehicle information from AutoTrader.co.uk, the UK's largest digital automotive marketplace. The scraper captures detailed data about used and new cars including specifications, pricing, finance options, dealer information, and media content. It processes both search result pages and individual vehicle listings with advanced data sanitization and context-aware field extraction.
Features
This actor offers the following features:
- Comprehensive Vehicle Data Extraction: Captures detailed vehicle information including specifications, pricing, finance options, and dealer details.
- Advanced Data Sanitization: Context-aware field extraction that preserves meaningful relationships between data points.
- Rich Media Support: Extracts high-resolution images, videos, and 360-degree views with classification tags.
- Finance Information: Detailed finance quotes, payment breakdowns, and representative APR examples.
- Dealer Intelligence: Complete dealer profiles with ratings, contact information, and service capabilities.
- Multiple Page Processing: Can process search results and individual listings in a single run.
- Automatic Retries: Failed requests are retried automatically (
maxRequestRetries, 30 by default), so a temporary error doesn't cost you a listing. - Customizable Configuration: Adjust settings like concurrency, retries, and item limits.
How to Use

- Example:
-
Every vehicle type on AutoTrader Search URLs and ad URLs work for every section of the site, with the filters you set on the search page (make, model, berth, price and so on):
Vehicle type Search URL example Ad URL path Cars https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-search?postcode=SW1A%201AA&make=Volkswagen&model=Golf/car-details/{id}Vans https://www.autotrader.co.uk/van-search?postcode=SW1A%201AA&make=Ford&model=Transit%20Custom/van-details/{id}Motorbikes https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-search?postcode=SW1A%201AA&make=Honda/bike-details/{id}Motorhomes https://www.autotrader.co.uk/motorhome-search?postcode=SW1A%201AA&berth=4/motorhome-details/{id}Caravans https://www.autotrader.co.uk/caravan-search?postcode=SW1A%201AA&berth=4/caravan-details/{id}Trucks https://www.autotrader.co.uk/truck-search?postcode=SW1A%201AA/truck-details/{id}Farm machinery https://www.autotrader.co.uk/farm-search?postcode=SW1A%201AA/farm-machinery-details/{id}Plant machinery https://www.autotrader.co.uk/plant-search?postcode=SW1A%201AA/plant-machinery-details/{id}Electric bikes https://www.autotrader.co.uk/electric-bike-search?postcode=SW1A%201AAsearch URLs only The homepage
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/is read as a search for every car on the site. A dealer's stock page, such ashttps://www.autotrader.co.uk/cars/retailer/stock?retailerId=10007255, returns that dealer's listings.Electric bikes come from the search results only, so e-bike rows have no seller description and a single e-bike ad URL returns no data.
-
Links that are checked before the run
- Website extras in a link, such as
searchId,fromsraorpage, are fine. - Links to other websites and AutoTrader pages that are not a search or an ad (leasing, dealer pages, guides) are skipped and named in the run log, so they never turn into a search you didn't ask for. If no link is usable, the run stops straight away.
- When AutoTrader does not apply one of the filters in your link, the run log names it, so you know which results are wider than you set.
- Website extras in a link, such as
Large searches
maxItems is the number of listings per search link. A search with thousands of matches is collected in price bands, so every listing is reached, including ones listed without a price. When you ask for 1,800 or fewer, results keep the link's own sort order. One search returns at most 2,000 listings at a single exact price; if more share one price, the run log says so and you can narrow the search to reach them.
Quick-look fields and table views
Every row ends with flat fields for spreadsheets and table views: vehicleType (car, van, bike, motorhome, caravan, truck, farm, plant, electric-bike), detailStatus (ok for full details, not_requested when details are off, not_available for e-bikes), title, price, sellerName, sellerTown, phones (every seller number in one list) and mainImage. The dataset has two table views in Console, Overview and Sellers. The item field holds AutoTrader's own record for the listing, unchanged, so any field AutoTrader adds shows up there.
