Pick-n-Pull Inventory Scraper — Row52 Junkyard Vehicles

Pick-n-Pull Inventory Scraper searches the public Row52 inventory of Pick-n-Pull self-service junkyards and returns one record per vehicle with VIN, year, make, model, trim, engine, transmission, color, yard row, date added, photos and the yard's address and hours. It is built for used-parts buyers, auto recyclers, mechanics and restorers who want to know which donor cars are on the lot right now, and it costs USD 3.00 per 1,000 vehicles on the FREE tier (USD 2.40 on GOLD).

What does the Pick-n-Pull inventory scraper return?

Each dataset row is one vehicle (recordType: "vehicle") or, in yard mode, one junkyard (recordType: "yard"). Vehicle rows contain:

Field	What it contains
vin	17-character Vehicle Identification Number
year, make, model	Model year and names, plus Row52 makeId and modelId
trim, engine, transmission, color	Specifications from the vehicle detail page, for example 3.7L V6 SOHC 24V
row	The yard row where the car is parked, for example 71
dateAdded	Date the car entered the yard (ISO 8601)
barCodeNumber	Yard stock or barcode number
locationId, yardName	Yard ID and name, for example PICK-n-PULL Rancho Cordova
yardAddress, yardCity, yardState, yardZip, yardPhone, yardHours	Yard contact details
yardMapUrl, partsPricingUrl	Links to the yard map and the yard's parts price list
imageUrl, images	Main photo and all photo URLs
partsPullersCount	Parts-puller count Row52 shows for the vehicle
url	Row52 vehicle page, for example https://row52.com/Vehicle/Index/2HNYD2H62CH530637
scrapedAt	Collection time (ISO 8601)

Yard rows contain name, code, address, city, state, zipCode, phone, hours, latitude, longitude, mapUrl, partsPricingUrl, webUrl, isParticipating, isActive and url. Fields the source does not provide are null.

The run summary is saved as OUTPUT in the key-value store: outcome (DATA, EMPTY or FAILED), records delivered, total matches in the inventory, and warnings.

How do I search Pick-n-Pull inventory by make, model, year or ZIP code?

Enter the make and model as plain names. The Actor resolves them to Row52 IDs, then pages through the results until maxResults is reached.

{ "searchMode": "vehicles", "make": "Toyota", "model": "Camry", "year": "2010-2015", "maxResults": 25 }

• year takes one year (2012) or a range (2010-2015).
• zipCode plus distance (miles, default 50) limits results to yards near a US ZIP code.
• locationName (for example Rancho Cordova) or locationId limits results to one yard.
• hasImage: true keeps only cars with photos; sort (dateadded, year, make, model, yard) and sortDirection set the order. The default is newest arrivals first.

To search every make near a ZIP code, leave make and model empty. The input form pre-fills Acura and MDX as an example, so clear those two fields first; an API call that omits them searches all makes.

{ "searchMode": "vehicles", "zipCode": "95843", "distance": 50, "maxResults": 50 }

If the model name does not match a Row52 model for that make, the model filter is dropped and all models of the make are searched. A test with make Toyota and model MDX returned Toyota vehicles from 4,245 matches.

Can I look up a junkyard vehicle by VIN?

Yes. Set searchMode to vin and enter the full VIN to get that vehicle's detail record. If the VIN is not found directly, the Actor searches Row52 by the VIN characters instead. A partial VIN in vehicles mode also works as a pattern search, combined with the make and model filters: 2HNYD2 with the Acura MDX filter matched 82 vehicles in a 2026-09-30 test.

{ "searchMode": "vin", "vin": "2HNYD2H62CH530637", "maxResults": 1 }

You can also pass Row52 links in startUrls: search URLs such as https://row52.com/Search?MakeId=67&ModelId=960 (all result pages are followed) or vehicle URLs such as https://row52.com/Vehicle/Index/2HNYD2H62CH530637.

How do I get a list of Pick-n-Pull yard locations?

Set searchMode to yards. The Actor returns the yard directory from Row52 with address, phone, hours, coordinates and links. On 2026-10-26 the directory held 70 yards in 18 US states, British Columbia and Alberta, almost all of them Pick-n-Pull locations. 51 were marked isParticipating: true; yards marked false are listed but their inventory is not searchable on Row52.

{ "searchMode": "yards", "maxResults": 100 }

When should I use it, and when not?

Use it when you want the current self-service yard inventory for a vehicle platform, for example every 2010–2015 Camry within 50 miles, new arrivals of a rare model, or the row number of a donor car before you drive to the yard. It also suits parts resellers who track intake and turnover across Pick-n-Pull locations.

Use another Actor when:

• You want insurance-auction vehicles and bids: Copart Public Search Scraper.
• You want used cars for sale from dealers: Cars For Sale Scraper or CarMax Scraper.
• You need part prices per part: the Actor links each yard's price list in partsPricingUrl but does not extract the prices.
• You need yards that are not on Row52: only the yards in the Row52 directory are covered.

How do I run it from code?

JavaScript with apify-client:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('muhammadafzal/row52-scraper').call({
    searchMode: 'vehicles',
    make: 'Honda',
    model: 'Civic',
    zipCode: '95843',
    distance: 100,
    maxResults: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const car of items) console.log(car.year, car.model, car.yardName, 'row', car.row);

Python with apify-client:

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("muhammadafzal/row52-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchMode": "vehicles",
    "make": "Ford",
    "model": "F-150",
    "maxResults": 25,
})
for car in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(car["vin"], car["year"], car["yardName"], car["row"], car["dateAdded"])

Use it from an AI assistant

Pick-n-Pull Inventory Scraper works from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify's MCP server. Add the single-tool URL https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=muhammadafzal/row52-scraper to your client and ask, for example: "Which 2010 to 2015 Toyota Camrys arrived at Pick-n-Pull yards near ZIP 95843 this week, and what rows are they in?" Each vehicle is charged at the prices below, so give the assistant a result limit.

What does the output look like?

Two vehicle records from a 2026-09-30 cloud run for Acura MDX (shortened):

How much does Pick-n-Pull inventory data cost?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing, and platform usage is included in the event prices. Each vehicle or yard saved to the default dataset is one charged event.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD	PLATINUM / DIAMOND
Vehicle or yard result (one dataset row)	USD 0.003	USD 0.002925	USD 0.00285	USD 0.0024	USD 0.0024
Actor start (per started GB of allocated memory)	USD 0.006251	USD 0.006094	USD 0.005938	USD 0.005	USD 0.005

The Actor runs with at most 1,024 MB of memory, so each run has one start event. Worked totals on the FREE tier:

• 10 vehicles (the prefilled input): 10 × USD 0.003 + USD 0.006251 = USD 0.0363
• 100 vehicles: 100 × USD 0.003 + USD 0.006251 = USD 0.3063 (USD 0.245 on GOLD)
• Full yard directory of 70 yards: 70 × USD 0.003 + USD 0.006251 = USD 0.2163

A search that matches nothing finishes with outcome: "EMPTY" and costs only the start event.

FAQ

How fresh is the inventory? Each run reads Row52 live, so you get what Row52 shows at run time. dateAdded tells you when each car arrived; yards remove cars without notice, so check before you drive.

How fast is it? A 2026-09-30 cloud run returned 15 Acura MDX records with full details in about 6 seconds. Turning off includeVehicleDetails skips the detail request per car and returns fewer fields.

How many vehicles can one run return? Up to 5,000 (maxResults). The run stops at that limit or when the search has no more pages. Duplicate VINs within a run are removed.

Does it cover every junkyard in the US? No. It covers the yards listed on Row52: 70 yards in 18 US states and two Canadian provinces on 2026-10-26, almost all Pick-n-Pull. Other chains are not included.

Do I need a Row52 account or a proxy? No. The Actor reads public pages without logging in and connects directly. There is no proxy setting to configure or pay for.

How do I search all vehicles near a ZIP code? Leave make and model empty and set zipCode and distance. The input form pre-fills Acura MDX as an example, so clear those fields first.

Can I schedule it to watch for new arrivals? Yes. Use an Apify schedule with sort: "dateadded" and a small maxResults, then compare VINs between runs.
