CarWale Scraper — India used car prices, specs and dealers

Scrape used-car listings from CarWale.com, one of India's largest car marketplaces, into a clean dataset or an API. Around 108,000 used cars across India (measured on the live site), from dealers and private owners, in every city CarWale covers: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and more.

Every row carries the asking price, CarWale's own market valuation for that exact car, the new on-road price, the gap between asking and market price in percent, kilometres, fuel, transmission, owners, body type, city and area, the seller type, the dealer and the photos. Turn on detail pages and each car also gets colour, registration, insurance, engine, power, torque, mileage, the full spec sheet, the feature list and CarWale's price rating (great / fair / high).

No login. No cookies. No browser. No proxy needed. $0.85 per 1,000 cars.

What actually arrives in a row

A listing row always has the same 96 keys (a key with no data is null, never missing). The median row has 41 populated fields without detail pages and 72 with them.

Every percentage on this page was measured against the live site on 23 Sep 2026, and every one carries its sample size. We do not promise a field we have not measured.

Always there — 100% (n = 653 cars, 12 searches, 8 cities + national)

listing_id · url · title · make · model · model_family · variant and their CarWale ids · year · price_inr · price_text · km_driven · fuel_type · transmission · body_style_id · city · seller_type · seller_name (dealers) · emi_from_inr

Usually there

Field	Fill rate	n
trim	99.7%	653
seating_capacity	97.5%	653
key_features	97.5%	653
owners	95.7%	653
area (neighbourhood)	87.6%	653
market_price_inr (CarWale valuation)	85.3%	653
new_on_road_price_inr	84.8%	653
images and image_url — dealers	100%	205
images and image_url — private owners	37.5%	448
key_highlights — dealers	88.3%	205
dealer_logo_url — dealers	63.4%	205
tags ("Great Price", "Home Test Drive"…)	39.1%	653
is_finance_eligible	13.3%	653
additional_fuel (CNG/LPG bi-fuel)	5.8%	653

body_type is filled for the nine body styles we matched against CarWale's own structured data (Sedan, Hatchback, SUV, MPV/MUV, Compact Sedan, Compact SUV, Sub-Compact SUV, Full-Size SUV, SUV Coupe). For the rare ones we could not verify it is null from search results and is filled from the detail page when you turn detail pages on. We do not guess.

What we do NOT promise

drivetrain from search results, a trusted-dealer flag, booking status and a listing phone number came back empty in 0 of 653 cars, so they are not promised from search results.

Detail pages: what they add, and what they cost

includeDetails opens each car's page. Measured on the local verification runs (n = 100 dealer cars in Delhi, n = 30 private cars in Pune):

Field	Dealers	Private owners
color, manufacture_month, last_updated_at, specifications	100%	100%
features	98%	100%
engine, drivetrain	94%	100% / 47%
max_torque, max_power	78% / 72%	100%
registration_type, owners_text	98%	100% / 97%
registration_number	98%	withheld by default
insurance_type	86%	27%
highlights	84%	0%
price_rating (great / fair / high price) and market_price_range_text	75%	67%
seller_note (phones removed)	73%	withheld by default
dealer_phone	55%	never
mileage	35%	90%

A detail page costs about 24× a search result: one page per car instead of one request per 24 cars, and 64 KB against 275 bytes per car. That is why detail pages are off by default and billed as their own event.

---

Dealers: a second output, no extra requests

Set Output type to Dealers and you get one row per dealership found in your search: dealer_name, dealer_logo_url, city, areas, listings_seen, min_price_inr / median_price_inr / max_price_inr, makes and a sample listing. It is built from the same search results, so it costs no extra requests.

---

Privacy: private sellers are people

48.3% of CarWale's national stock is sold by private owners (52,171 of 107,995 on 23 Sep 2026; 21–32% in the big cities). A private seller's listing carries their name, and their detail page carries their registration number and notes.

	Dealer	Private owner
Car data (price, km, specs, photos…)	always	always
Name, id, phone, registration number, notes	always	withheld by default

Withheld rows are marked seller_contact_redacted: true. Turn on includePrivateSellerContact only if you have a lawful basis to process personal data. Phone numbers typed inside free text (notes, highlights) are removed on every row, whoever the seller is.

---

Input

Run it with no input and you get 50 cars from all of India, cheapest first, in a few seconds. The most useful settings:

Setting	What it does
city	one of 17 cities, or empty for all of India
make	one of 45 makes
startUrls	any CarWale used-car search page, e.g. https://www.carwale.com/used/mumbai/hyundai-creta/
sellerType	dealers, private owners or both
fuelType, transmission, owners, minPriceLakh, maxPriceLakh, maxAgeYears	filters, each checked against CarWale's own counters
sortBy	price or kilometres, ascending or descending
maxItems	how many cars (or dealers) to deliver
includeDetails	add the detail-page fields above
outputType	listings or dealers

Going deep. CarWale pages through at most about 34,000 results per search. When your search matches more, the actor splits it into price bands so you still reach the whole stock.

Kilometre filter: CarWale ignores it (the result count does not change), so the actor does not offer it rather than pretend.

Pricing

Pay per event. You pay for cars delivered, never for error rows and never twice for the same car in a run.

Event	Price
Car listing	$0.00085
Car detail page (only with includeDetails)	$0.0015
Dealer (only with Output type Dealers)	$0.001
Actor start	$0.00001 (platform minimum)

1,000 cars cost $0.85; with detail pages, $2.35. If you set a maximum cost for the run, the actor stops cleanly when it is reached and tells you so in the status message. You are never charged beyond your limit, and never for a car that was not delivered.

---

Reliability

• Plain HTTPS against CarWale's public search data. No browser: 512 MB of memory is plenty (measured on Apify: peak 59 MB for the default run, 132 MB for 100 cars with detail pages).
• The default run (no input) finishes in about 10 seconds; 100 cars with detail pages in under a minute.
• If CarWale starts limiting requests, all requests pause together and resume, instead of hammering the site.
• If you set a short timeout, the actor stops early, delivers what it has and finishes green with a message saying what was left.
• A wrong input (an unknown city, a non-CarWale URL, min price above max) ends green with an error row explaining what to fix. Nothing is charged.

FAQ

Is there an official CarWale API for used cars? Not a public one. This actor reads the same public search data the CarWale website uses and gives it to you as JSON, CSV or Excel, or through the Apify API, so you can use it as a CarWale used cars API.

Can I get used car prices for one city or one model? Yes. Pick a city and a make, or paste any CarWale used-car search page into startUrls, for example https://www.carwale.com/used/pune/maruti-suzuki-swift/.

What is market_price_inr? CarWale's own valuation of that car (model, variant, year, km, city). With the asking price on the same row, price_vs_market_pct tells you how far each ask is above or below market. It was filled on 85.3% of cars (n = 653).

Do I get the seller's phone number? For dealers, the phone shown on the detail page (55% of dealer cars, it is a CarWale call-tracking number). For private owners, contact data is withheld unless you turn on includePrivateSellerContact.

Can I get a list of used car dealers in Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore? Yes: set Output type to Dealers and a city. You get one row per dealership with its stock size, price range and makes, billed per dealer.

How many cars can I scrape? As many as the search has. CarWale pages through about 34,000 results per search; above that the actor splits the search into price bands automatically.

Why did my run return an error row and no cars? The input could not be used (for example a URL that is not a CarWale used-car search page, or a minimum price above the maximum), or no car matches the filters. The row says what to change. Error rows are never charged.

How fresh is the data? Every run reads the live site. scraped_at is on every row.
