Cycle Trader Listings Scraper

🏍️ Cycle Trader Listings Scraper

Easily extract motorcycle and powersports listings from CycleTrader.com, the largest online marketplace for new and used motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, and powersports vehicles in the US. The Cycle Trader Listings Scraper gathers structured data — prices, dealers, phone numbers, locations, mileage, photos, and full specifications — for market research, lead generation, price tracking, and inventory analysis.

Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, automatic proxy rotation, monitoring, and one-click export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or your favorite integration.

✨ Features

• 🏷️ Rich Listing Data straight from search pages — year, make, model, trim, class, category, price, MSRP, condition, mileage, VIN / serial number, stock number, city, state, ZIP, latitude/longitude, listing date, photos and a short description for every listing.
• ☎️ Dealer Contact Details — dealer name, ID, website and phone number (plus the dealer's direct line) on every row, no details pass needed.
• 🔍 Search-Based Extraction — paste any Cycle Trader search or category URL (all motorcycles, a specific make like Honda, or a filtered search by category, condition, or location) and the scraper paginates through the results automatically.
• 📋 Optional Full Details — flip on Scrape full listing details to also pull each unit's complete image gallery, full description, spec sheet (color, engine size…) and recent price drops.
• 🔗 Single listings too — paste a /listing/... URL to get its full record.
• 🧹 No duplicates — each listing is saved and charged once per run, even when your searches overlap.
• 📣 Tells you when a search is too big — Cycle Trader shows about 420 listings per search; the run's status message says when your search matched more and how to split it.
• 💸 Pay Only For What You Get — transparent Pay-Per-Event pricing; listings that cannot be loaded or no longer exist are not charged.
• ⚡ Fast & Reliable — HTTP-based scraping with automatic retries and proxy rotation for stable, large-scale collection.

💰 Pricing

This Actor uses a transparent Pay-Per-Event model — you only pay for the data you actually collect, and runs that return nothing cost nothing.

Event	Price
Listing scraped (fast pass)	$0.004 per listing ($4 per 1,000)
Full detail scraped (with Scrape full listing details, charged instead of the listing)	$0.010 per listing ($10 per 1,000)
Actor start	$0.00005 per run (per GB of memory)

How much does it cost to scrape Cycle Trader? Collecting 1,000 listings in the default fast mode (already with dealer phone numbers, VINs and coordinates) costs about $4. Pulling 1,000 fully-detailed records with complete specs, description and photos costs about $10. Apify's free tier includes monthly usage credits, so you can try it at no cost.

💡 Tips

• Keep Scrape full listing details off unless you need the spec sheet, full description or every photo — search rows already carry dealer, phone, VIN and location, and it's faster and cheaper.
• To collect very large volumes, split your run by facets (make, category, price, or location) — Cycle Trader shows about 420 listings per search. The run's status message tells you when a search hit this limit.
• A URL with page=3 starts at page 3; your filters and sort order are kept on every page.
• Use Max items to cap costs precisely during testing.
• Schedule runs on Apify to track price changes and new inventory over time.

❓ FAQ & Support

Is scraping Cycle Trader legal? This Actor collects only publicly available listing data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with Cycle Trader's Terms of Service and applicable laws (including data-protection regulations). Do not use scraped personal data unlawfully.

Can I scrape a specific make, category, or location? Yes — apply any filters on Cycle Trader and paste the resulting URL as a start URL.

Why are some runs slower? Reliable access requires residential proxies and occasional retries; the Actor handles this automatically.
