La Centrale Scraper

All-in-one lacentrale.fr used-car scraper — paste any search or listing URL, or just set a few filters, and get clean structured car data: make, model, version, year, mileage, price, gearbox, fuel, colour, seller, and the decoded contact phone. Flip on detail mode for full specs, warranty, price-drop history, seller Google reviews, equipment and every photo.

Input you give	Rows you get
A search/listing URL (/listing?makesModelsCommercialNames=RENAULT)	One row per car on every result page
A direct classified URL (/auto-occasion-annonce-69118639004.html)	One full detail record for that car
Just filters (make, model, fuel, price, year, mileage, department…)	One row per matching car

Pure HTTP + managed challenge-solving. No headless browser. La Centrale is protected by DataDome — this actor gets past it reliably and parses the car data straight from the page's embedded JSON.

Why use this scraper

• Two cost tiers, your choice. Card mode (default) reads ~24 fully-structured cars per page fetch — cheap, fast, ideal for market monitoring and lead-gen. Detail mode fetches each car's page for the complete record.
• Decoded seller phone numbers. La Centrale base64-obfuscates dealer phones on the page; this actor decodes them, so every card carries a callable number.
• Seller Google reviews. Detail mode returns each dealer's Google rating, review count and sample reviews — intel no other La Centrale scraper on the Store provides.
• Price intelligence. Detail records include the full price-drop history, La Centrale's "good deal" badge, and its refined market quotation.
• Search however you like. Paste a URL you built on the site, or skip the site entirely and drive it with structured filters.

How it works

1. You give a listing URL, a direct classified URL, or a set of filters (make/model/fuel/price/year/mileage/department).
2. We unlock the page: La Centrale returns a DataDome 403 challenge to any plain HTTP request. The actor solves the challenge on a French residential IP, reuses the resulting session cookie across many pages, and re-solves automatically when a cookie expires.
3. You get clean rows parsed from the page's embedded state (__PRELOADED_STATE_LISTING__ on search pages, SummaryInformationData on detail pages) — as JSON, CSV or Excel.

FAQ

Do I need proxies or a captcha-solver account? No. Everything — residential proxying and DataDome challenge-solving — is handled inside the actor. You just provide input.

Card mode vs detail mode — which should I use? Card mode for volume (market monitoring, lead lists) — it returns ~24 fully-usable cars per page fetch. Detail mode when you need the deep fields (full specs, price history, seller reviews, all images), at a higher per-car cost.

Are seller phone numbers real? Yes — La Centrale obfuscates them on the page (base64); the actor decodes them into standard French numbers.

Why are sellerReviews sometimes empty? Some dealers have no Google reviews linked — that's the true state of the source, not a scrape gap. Private sellers also have no dealer profile.

Can I monitor a specific search on a schedule? Yes — save your filter set (or a listing URL) and run the actor on an Apify schedule.

Notes & limitations

• La Centrale localises and gates content behind DataDome; the actor targets the French (lacentrale.fr) site with French residential exit IPs.
• Detail mode costs more per car than card mode (one page fetch per car vs ~24 cars per fetch) — enable it only when you need the deep fields.
• Fields present only in detail records (specs, price history, seller reviews, equipment, images) are null/empty in card-mode rows by design.
