What it costs

Listings	This actor
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00
100,000	$100.00

Plus $0.001 per run. One flat price, platform usage included, so there is no separate compute or proxy bill. Pages that fail or show no cars cost nothing beyond the run fee. One search gives up to about 150 cars (see Limits). A weekly run of 750 listings costs $0.751, or about $3 a month.

Why use it

• One flat price. carsales.com.au needs an Australian residential proxy. It is included, so the bill follows the number of listings and nothing else.
• Search links or make and model. Set any filters on the site and paste the link, or just type a make and model.
• More than one page of cars. The actor reads each search in up to 9 sort orders (7 by default) and removes duplicates, for up to about 150 different cars per search.
• Price context. Asking price as a number, carsales' own GREAT, GOOD or FAIR PRICE badge, price notes, odometer in km, seller type and state.

Quick start

1. Open the actor, type a make and model or paste a carsales.com.au search link, press Start.
2. Or paste this input:

{ "make": "Toyota", "model": "Hilux", "sortOrders": ["Odometer", "~Year", "Power"], "maxItems": 50 }

3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

Limits

• First results page only, per sort order. carsales.com.au lets a visitor without a browser open only the first page of a search; its next page links are behind a bot check that this actor does not try to get past. So it reads the first page in several sort orders instead. That is about 20 to 30 cars per page and up to about 150 different cars per search with the default seven orders.
• For more cars, split the search. Narrow it by state (for example /cars/toyota/camry/victoria-state/), year, price or body type using filters on the site, and paste each link.
• Details come from the search result cards. The full listing page (description, VIN, seller phone) is not opened.
• Bot checks. If carsales.com.au shows its bot check, the actor does not solve it. It asks once more as a new visitor, then skips that page. After four refused pages in a row the run stops and says so in the log.
• Run summary. How many pages the site says each search has is saved as RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store.

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape 10,000 carsales.com.au listings? $10, plus $0.001 for each run. At up to about 150 cars per search, that takes many narrow searches, which can all go in one run.

Do I pay for compute or proxy on top? No. Platform usage, including the Australian residential proxy, is included in the $1 per 1,000 price.

Why did I get fewer cars than I asked for? Each search gives at most one page per sort order. Add more sort orders, or split the search by state, price or year and add each link.

Is it legal? The actor reads only public search pages that any visitor can open without logging in, at a slow, polite pace. You are responsible for how you use the data: follow carsales.com.au's terms and the laws where you live, especially for private seller details.

Is this an official carsales product? No. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by carsales.com.au.

Do I need an Apify account? Yes. Actors run from an Apify account, and a free account is enough to start: it includes $5 of platform usage every month. You can sign up here. This is a referral link and it costs you nothing.

Is there a limit on the free plan? Yes. A run started from a free plan account delivers the first 10 results, then ends with a message and a link to the plans. Any paid plan returns everything you ask for, up to your own limit. The price per result is the same on every plan.
