Encar Korea Used Cars Scraper
Scrape used car listings from Encar Korea, the largest Korean used car marketplace, with make, model, price, mileage, and dealer details. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML. No login or API key required.
Encar.com is South Korea's largest used car marketplace, but browsing it manually is slow and the site has no official public API. This actor reads the public listing pages directly, so you can collect thousands of used car records by search term or listing URL, each returned as a flat row with the fields you need for pricing analysis, inventory tracking, or market research.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Encar for |
|---|---|
| Used car dealers | Monitor competitor pricing and inventory on Encar Korea |
| Market researchers | Analyze used car market trends and price distributions in Korea |
| Data analysts | Build datasets of Korean used car listings for modeling or reporting |
| Auto industry professionals | Track availability and pricing of specific models across regions |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your startUrl or searchQuery is valid and returns listings on Encar.com. Also ensure that maxItems is set to at least 1. If the site layout changed, the actor may need an update.
Why am I getting only 10 listings?
Free users are limited to 10 listings per run as a preview. Upgrade to a paid plan to scrape more, up to 1,000,000 listings.
Why are some fields empty?
Not all listings on Encar have every field filled in. The actor returns what is available on the page. If a field is consistently missing, it may be due to a site change.
Why is the actor slow?
Scraping many listings takes time because the actor respects the website's rate limits. Reduce maxItems or run during off-peak hours.
Why did the run fail?
Check the run log for errors. Common causes are invalid startUrl, network issues, or changes to the Encar website. Try again or contact support.
