Input

To start collecting vehicle data, simply fill in the input form. You can look up vehicles by:

• vehicles - A list of vehicles to look up. Each entry needs a year, make, and model. You can look up multiple vehicles in a single run.

• maxItems - Maximum number of trim records to collect.
• zipCode - Optional ZIP code for localized pricing. Leave empty for national averages.

Here's an example input configuration in JSON:

{
    "vehicles": [
        { "year": 2022, "make": "toyota", "model": "camry" },
        { "year": 2020, "make": "ford", "model": "f-150" }
    ],
    "maxItems": 10
}

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does it work? A: Simply enter the year, make, and model of the vehicles you want to look up. The tool visits KBB.com, collects all available trim-level data, and delivers it as a clean, structured dataset.

Q: How many vehicles can I look up at once? A: You can add as many vehicles as you need to the input list. The tool processes up to 3 in parallel, so large batches complete quickly.

Q: Does it return data for every trim? A: Yes. If a vehicle has multiple trims (e.g. Toyota Camry LE, SE, XSE, XLE, TRD), each trim is returned as a separate record with its own pricing and specs.

Q: Can I get localized pricing? A: Yes. Add a ZIP code to the input and the tool will return market-specific pricing instead of national averages.

Q: Can I schedule regular runs? A: Absolutely. Use Apify's built-in scheduling to run the scraper daily, weekly, or at any interval you need for up-to-date pricing data.
