🚘 Carsguide.com.au Car Data Scraper

Scrape new and used car listings from carsguide.com.au, including dealer name, phone number, and location for every listing.

A car market data API for one of Australia's major car marketplaces: give it a make and model (or leave them blank) and this actor pulls a structured vehicle listings dataset straight from carsguide.com.au — price, year, trim, mileage, condition, exterior colour, dealer contact details, location, and photos. Built for competitor price monitoring, car dealer lead generation, and used car data extraction, without writing a single line of scraping code.

🇦🇺 Part of the Australia Car Data Scraper collection

Use this actor if you only need carsguide.com.au data. For multi-site coverage, use one of the collective actors instead:

• All Car Data Scraper Australia — searches carsguide.com.au plus 5 more major Australian car sites (new + used) in one run.
• Used Car Data Scraper Australia — same 6 sites, used/second-hand listings only.

Or scrape another single Australian site directly:

• Carsales.com.au Car Data Scraper
• AutoTrader.com.au Car Data Scraper
• Pickles.com.au Car Data Scraper
• Drive.com.au Car Data Scraper
• JustCars.com.au Car Data Scraper

🧑‍💼 Who uses this

• Car dealers using this as a competitor price monitoring tool against other dealers listed on carsguide.com.au
• Lead generation businesses pulling dealer name/phone straight from search results instead of visiting each listing
• Market researchers building a vehicle listings dataset for Australia to track price and mileage trends
• Developers feeding carsguide.com.au data into their own app, CRM, or dashboard

✨ Why use this instead of browsing manually

• 🔎 Any make, any model, or none at all — leave make/model blank to search across the whole site instead of one vehicle line (default maxItems is 20 per run — raise or set it to 0 for deeper coverage).
• 📞 Dealer name and phone number included — every listing comes with the selling dealer's trading name and lead phone number, not just a link to the ad.
• 📍 Real location data — city and state for every listing, straight from the search results (no detail-page visit needed).
• 📄 Real depth — set "Max results" to 0 and it pages through as much real inventory as the query actually has (up to a 5,000-listing safety ceiling).
• 🛡️ Built to survive anti-bot walls — carsguide.com.au blocks non-proxied traffic aggressively; proxy handling is built in.

💰 Pricing

This actor makes lightweight HTTP requests only — no browser is launched — so it runs on comparatively few Apify compute units per listing. See the Pricing tab on this actor's Store page for current rates before running at scale.

📝 Notes

• condition reflects carsguide.com.au's own new/used classification for that listing. For some commercial and fleet vehicle listings, the site's own "new" tag doesn't necessarily mean zero mileage - always check the mileage field alongside condition rather than relying on condition alone for those categories.
• vin is null in this version - it lives on the individual listing page rather than the search results, and isn't pulled through yet.
• A residential Australian proxy is required, not optional - the site blocks non-proxied traffic aggressively.

❓ FAQ

Is this actor affiliated with carsguide.com.au? No. This is an independent, unofficial scraper built on Apify — it isn't operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with carsguide.com.au in any way.

Do I need to know how to code? No. Fill in the input form (make, model, condition), click "Start", and download the results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the run's Dataset tab.

Is scraping carsguide.com.au data legal? This actor only collects publicly visible listing data. You're responsible for how you use the output — check carsguide.com.au's terms of service and applicable law for your specific use case.

How much does this cost to run? This actor doesn't use a browser, so it consumes fewer compute units than most scrapers on a per-listing basis. See the Pricing tab on the Store page for exact current rates.

How is this different from the multi-site actor? This actor only queries carsguide.com.au. If you want the same kind of data alongside 5 other Australian car sites in a single run, use All Car Data Scraper Australia instead.

Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes — use Apify's built-in Scheduler to run this actor on a recurring basis (hourly, daily, weekly) with no code, so your dataset stays current without you starting it manually.

Can I get VIN? Not in the current version — it lives on the individual listing page rather than the search results, and isn't pulled through yet.
