Drom.ru Cars Scraper
Scrape car listings from Drom.ru, Russia's largest auto marketplace, with full details and photos. Get make, model, year, price, mileage, location, and seller info for every listing. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Drom.ru is the go-to marketplace for used and new cars in Russia, but browsing thousands of listings by hand is slow and error-prone. This actor reads the public listing pages directly, applies your filters, and returns each car as a clean, flat row. No API key, no login, no rate-limit headaches.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Drom.ru for |
|---|---|
| Car dealers | Monitor competitor pricing and inventory in real time |
| Market researchers | Analyze supply, demand, and price trends across regions |
| Data analysts | Build datasets of vehicle attributes for modeling |
| Auto enthusiasts | Track specific models or rare configurations |
| Import/export businesses | Identify vehicles available for cross-border trade |
What it does
This Actor collects car listings from Drom.ru by start URL or search query, and returns each one as a flat row with all available details.
- 🔍 Search query: pass any free-text query and the actor appends it to the Drom search.
- 🔗 Start URL: paste a full listing or search URL from Drom.ru to scrape exactly that page.
- 📊 Flat output: every car comes back as one row with consistent fields for easy analysis.
- ⚙️ Max items: cap the number of listings to scrape, from 1 up to 1,000,000 for paid users.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

🔎 Track rare configurations.

📊 Build a market dataset.
A data analyst scrapes all listings for a popular model across Russia, then uses the flat output to train a price prediction model.
