What actually arrives in a row

A car row has 130 columns. A median of 65 carry a value without details and 101 with details. Every percentage below was measured on this actor's own runs on the Apify platform on 1 Oct 2026: 1,642 cars from all 9 countries (search columns) and 759 cars with details (detail columns). We do not promise a column whose fill rate we did not measure.

Always there: 100% (n = 1,642)

car_id · url · country · title · make · model · variant · price · currency · monthly_payment · monthly_payment_months · monthly_payment_down_payment · mileage · first_registration_date · built_year · transmission · power_kw · power_hp · co2_g_km · vat_type · accidents · damages_count · has_full_service_book · seller_name · branch_id · branch_name · branch_street · branch_city · branch_zipcode · stock_number · first_published_at · published_at

Usually there, or there when it applies (n = 1,642)

Column	Fill rate
fuel_type, drivetrain	99.8%
last_service_date	99.3%
main_image_url	99.3%
engine_cc (empty for electric cars)	97.2%

acceleration_0_100_s	89.5%
highlights	35.8%
dealer_sales_price	21.7%
previous_price, price_drop (cars reduced since listing)	6.0%

Country-specific columns live in their country, so a blended figure would mislead. Measured per market:

Column	Where it is filled
financed_price	Spain and Poland: 100%; elsewhere empty
monthly_payment_down_payment_pct	Sweden: 100%
emission_sticker	Germany 96%, France and Spain 100%
is_novice_driver_car	Italy: 100%

With details on (n = 759 cars with details)

100%: vin · body_type · color · doors · upholstery · handover_keys · tire_season · vehicle_id · image_urls (median 42 photos) · warranties (level, months and price) · listing_created_at.

Column	Fill rate

history_report_urls (FR 90%, ES 100%, BE 97%)	11.9%
battery_capacity_kwh, electric_range_km (EVs and plug-ins: 97% and 87% of them)	11%

Detail texts (body type, colour, equipment, damages) are in the country's own language: the same words the buyer sees on the site. Codes are always mapped to English labels (fuel_type, transmission, emission_standard) with the raw code next to them.

Input

Field	Default	What it does
outputType	cars	cars, or branches for one row per Autohero branch
countries	["DE"]	any of DE, AT, FR, IT, ES, PL, SE, NL, BE
maxItems	100	hard cap, shared fairly between countries
sortBy	newest	newest, most popular, price, mileage, make
makes, model	—	e.g. ["Volkswagen"], "Golf VII"; vw, audi or GOLF VII work too

Example: German and French automatic diesels under €20,000, with details:

{
  "countries": ["DE", "FR"],
  "fuelTypes": ["diesel"],
  "transmissions": ["automatic"],
  "maxPrice": 20000,
  "maxItems": 300,
  "includeDetails": true

Pricing

Pay per event: you pay only for rows delivered.

Event	Price
Car listing	$0.00125 ($1.25 per 1,000)
Car detail page (only when includeDetails is on and the details arrive)	$0.0007
Branch record	$0.0022
Actor start	$0.00001 (platform minimum)

• Error rows are never charged, and a car is never charged twice within a run.
• If you set a maximum charge for the run, the actor stops cleanly before the rows that would exceed it and says so in the status message. It never delivers a row it did not charge, and never charges a row it did not deliver.

Speed

Measured on the Apify platform at 512 MB on 1 Oct 2026: 1,000 cars in 23 seconds without details; 500 cars with full details in 57 seconds; every branch in all 9 countries (207 branches, scanning about 21,500 cars) in about 2 minutes. Peak memory stayed under 100 MB.

FAQ

Does Autohero have a public API? No public, documented one. This actor reads the same public catalogue the autohero.com website shows to every visitor, with no login, and returns it as clean rows you can export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull through the Apify API.

Which countries are covered? All 9 Autohero markets: Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Belgium. Belgium has two language versions of the site over one stock; you get each car once.

Why are some prices in PLN or SEK? Autohero prices cars in Poland in złoty and in Sweden in kronor. Every row states its currency; the actor never converts, so the numbers match the site.

How do I get only one model? Set makes and model exactly as Autohero writes them, for example Volkswagen and Golf VII, BMW and 3er, or Volkswagen and ID.3. Make spelling is normalised (vw, mercedes), and the model is not case-sensitive. A partial name such as Golf matches nothing, and the run tells you so instead of failing.

What do details add, and what do they cost? One more event per car ($0.0007): VIN, the full equipment list, every documented damage with its photo, service history, dimensions, tyres, EV battery data, all photos and the warranty offers. You are only charged for details that actually arrived.

What happens with a typo or a filter that matches nothing? The run finishes successfully with one error row explaining what to change, and nothing is charged for it.

Do I need a proxy? No. The actor works without one. If the site ever starts refusing requests, it switches route on its own and never waits more than a few minutes in total.

Are there private sellers? No. Autohero sells its own inspected stock: every car measured was company stock, so there are no private-seller contact details. The includePrivateSellerContact switch (off by default) keeps it that way if the site ever changes.

Can I schedule it to track prices over time? Yes. car_id is stable across runs, so a daily schedule gives you price-drop and stock history per car.
