Encar Listings Scraper

🚗 Encar Listings Scraper: Korean Used Cars, Prices and VINs

Export Korean used cars from Encar, South Korea's largest used-car marketplace, as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. The Encar Listings Scraper returns each car's make, model, trim, year, mileage, price in KRW, fuel, transmission, region, dealer and photos, and can add the VIN, plate number, English model names and original MSRP. Use it to source used cars from Korea for export, to follow 중고차 시세 (used-car market prices), or as a practical alternative to an Encar API.

🎯 Use Cases

• Source Korean used cars for export: pull today's stock by price range and shortlist cars to import from Korea.
• Track 중고차 시세 (used-car prices): schedule a daily run and build your own price history by make, model and year.
• Encar in English: get English manufacturer, model and grade names next to the Korean ones, ready for buyers abroad.
• VIN and plate lookup at scale: collect VINs and plate numbers for each car to run your own history and spec checks.
• Dealer and market research: see which dealers and regions list which models, at what mileage and price.

✨ Features

• Rich listing data: make, model, trim, year, mileage, price in KRW (and in 만원), fuel type, transmission, sale type, region, dealer office, dealer name, last-modified time and photo URLs.
• Domestic, imported or all cars: Korean brands, imported brands, or the whole inventory.
• Price range filter: set a minimum and maximum price in 만원 so you only pay for the segment you need.
• Optional full vehicle details: VIN, plate number, English names, original MSRP, color, displacement, seat count, body type, view and watch counts, listing dates, option count, seller address and phone, description and warranty terms.
• Encar badges: trust, service and condition flags such as warranty, home delivery, inspection and record availability.
• No duplicates, fair billing: a car is saved and charged once per run, and the run stops when your maximum charge is reached.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Pick the inventory: domestic, imported or all cars, and optionally a price range.
2. Set the limit: how many cars to collect (default 50), and switch on full details if you need VINs.
3. Run the scraper and download the results, or pull them through the Apify API.

⚙️ Input

Field	What it does
Car type	domestic (Korean brands), imported or all. Default domestic.
Minimum price	Lowest price in 만원 (10,000 KRW). 2000 = 20,000,000 KRW. Optional.
Maximum price	Highest price in 만원 (10,000 KRW). 5000 = 50,000,000 KRW. Optional.

{
    "carType": "imported",

    "priceMax": 5000,
    "scrapeDetails": true,
    "maxItems": 100

💰 Pricing

Pay only for the cars you get. No monthly rental.

Event	Price	What you get
Car listing	$0.005 per car ($5.00 per 1,000)	One listing with all listing fields (full details off).
Car detail	$0.02 per car ($20.00 per 1,000)	One car with listing fields plus the full vehicle record (full details on).
Actor start	$0.00005 per run	Charged once when the run starts.

Each car is charged once: either as a listing or, with full details on, as a detail record.

Examples: 50 listings = $0.25 · 1,000 listings = $5.00 · 1,000 cars with full details = $20.00.

📊 Sample Output Data

A listing row (full details off), from a real run:

{
    "id": "41749154",

    "manufacturer": "기아",

    "year": 202204,
    "formYear": "2022",
    "mileage": 40576,
    "price": 16300000,
    "priceManwon": 1630,
    "sellType": "일반",
    "region": "대전",
    "officeName": "카카오토(주)",
    "modifiedDate": "2026-10-21 15:04:34.000 +09",

    "trust": ["ExtendWarranty", "HomeService"],
    "serviceMark": ["EncarMeetgo", "EncarDiagnosisP1"],
    "condition": ["Inspection", "Record", "Resume"]
}

With full details on, each row also has fields like these (BMW X5 from a real run):

{
    "vin": "WBAKS8108E0H90378",
    "plateNumber": "54버6693",
    "manufacturerEnglish": "BMW",
    "modelGroup": "X5",
    "modelGroupEnglish": "X5",
    "gradeEnglish": "xDrive M50d",
    "originPriceManwon": 13880,
    "originPrice": 138800000,
    "displacement": 2993,
    "color": "검정색",
    "seatCount": 5,
    "bodyType": "SUV",
    "viewCount": 131,
    "subscribeCount": 27,
    "registeredDate": "2026-04-14T09:38:02",
    "firstAdvertisedDate": "2026-10-16T10:17:55",
    "sellerAddress": "서울 강서구 양천로 390",
    "optionCount": 52,
    "description": "안녕하세요 15년 경력 바로모터컴퍼니 …",
    "warranty": { "bodyMonth": 24, "transmissionMonth": 36, "transmissionMileage": 60000 }
}

year is the first-registration year and month (202204 = April 2022); formYear is the model year. price is in KRW and priceManwon is the same price in 만원 as Encar shows it. originPrice is the new-car price (MSRP) of that grade. subscribeCount is how many users saved the car. Full-detail rows also carry sellerPhone, the dealer's contact number shown on Encar.

🔁 Schedule and Integrate

For price tracking and sourcing, run it once a day with the same input: each run is a dated snapshot of the market, and new cars and price cuts show up in the next one. Set it up in Apify Schedules. Send the results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or a webhook with Apify integrations, so new Korean used-car listings land where your team already works.

🤖 Use with AI Agents (MCP)

This Actor works as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). An agent can call it with:

{ "carType": "imported", "priceMax": 3000, "maxItems": 20 }

❓ FAQ

Does Encar have an official API? Encar does not publish a public developer API for its listing data. This Actor is the practical alternative: no key, no approval and no rate-limit handling on your side, and it returns the public data a buyer sees on the site, plus English model names and the VIN when full details are on.

How do I buy or import used cars from Korea with this data? Filter by car type and price, switch on full details, and you get the VIN, plate number, English names, specs, dealer and photos for each car. That is enough to shortlist cars and ask an exporter or dealer for quotes. For accident and inspection records, pair it with the Encar Vehicle History Scraper below.

Can I get Encar listings in English? Listing fields come in Korean, as Encar shows them. With full details on you also get manufacturerEnglish, modelGroupEnglish, gradeEnglish and gradeDetailEnglish.

Do I need an Encar account? No. The Actor reads public listings only.

Why is a field empty? Not every car has every value: many cars have no trim detail (badgeDetail, gradeDetail), and some listings have no photos, badges or warranty terms yet. Missing values are left out or null. The detail fields only appear when full details are on.

How many cars can I scrape? Encar lists over 200,000 cars (about 155,000 domestic and 65,000 imported). Set Maximum number of cars as high as you need; listings that move while the run pages through them are saved once.
