Encar Vehicle History Scraper

🚀 Encar Vehicle History Scraper

Check the history of Korean used cars before you buy or export them. The Encar Vehicle History Scraper takes Encar.com listing URLs or IDs and returns, in English, the car's insurance and accident record, its official performance inspection report, and Encar's diagnosis-centre result. It's built for used-car exporters, dealers and importers who source vehicles from South Korea.

✨ Features

• 🚗 Accident and insurance record: every insurance claim with date, type (damage to this car paid by its own or the other party's insurance, or damage it caused to others) and repair cost split into parts, labour and paint. Also owner changes, plate changes, rental, commercial and government use, total loss, flood and theft history, and uninsured periods.
• 🔍 Official inspection report: VIN, engine type, inspection mileage and validity, accident, simple-repair, flood and tuning flags, recall status, warranty type, emissions, and replaced or welded body panels with their severity rank. Also the condition of every checked system (engine, transmission, steering, brakes, electrical, fuel, EV high-voltage parts) and items needing repair.
• 🧪 Encar diagnosis result: the diagnosis-centre verdict ("No accident" / "Outer panels replaced only (frame intact)") and the result for each checked panel.
• 🇬🇧 In English: labels are translated. Vehicle make, model and trim use Encar's English names.
• 📷 Scanned reports included: when a dealer uploaded the inspection as images, you get the image links for each section of the form.
• 🔗 Works with the Encar Listings Scraper: paste its url or id values straight in.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Add cars: paste Encar listing URLs (for example https://fem.encar.com/cars/detail/41667833) or listing IDs, one per line.
2. Run the scraper: each car becomes one record with accidentRecord, inspection and diagnosis sections. A section is null when that report doesn't exist for the car.
3. Export: download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the API.

💵 Pricing

Pay per event, with no start fee:

Event	Price	When it's charged
Vehicle history	$0.02	Once per car that has at least one report (accident record, inspection or diagnosis).

Cars without any report, invalid inputs and listings that are no longer online are free. Example: 500 cars = $10.00.
