🚀 How to scrape AutoTrader Canada vehicles

No coding required.

1. Create a free Apify account using your email.
2. Open AutoTrader Canada Vehicle Scraper.
3. Enter a city or postal code (e.g. Edmonton, AB or T5Y2V5) and a search radius in km.
4. Add filters (optional) — make, model year, price, body type, colour, mileage, fuel, transmission, drivetrain, equipment, condition, seller type, or keywords.
5. Set Maximum Results and a sort order, then click Start.
6. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML — or pull it via API.

⬇️ Input

Set everything visually in the input form (with dropdowns for makes, body types, colours, and more), or paste JSON directly:

{
    "location": "Edmonton, AB",
    "radius": 100,
    "sorting": "price_lowest_to_highest",
    "make": 13,
    "modelYearFrom": 2017,
    "modelYearTo": 2025,
    "priceFrom": 10000,
    "priceTo": 50000,
    "bodyType": [14],
    "fuelType": ["B"],
    "transmission": ["A"],
    "maxResults": 100
}

This example searches for BMW SUVs within 100 km of Edmonton, model years 2017–2025, priced $10,000–$50,000, gasoline, automatic, sorted by lowest price. In the visual form you simply pick these from dropdowns.

Available filters: location (city or postal code), radius, sort order, make, model year range, price range, price badges (Great / Good / Fair / Above Average), body type, exterior colour, mileage range, seating capacity, doors, drivetrain, fuel type, engine cylinders, transmission, vehicle condition, seller type, 150+ equipment/feature options, "online since" (recent listings), and keywords. Leave any field empty to include everything.

❓ FAQ

How does AutoTrader Canada Vehicle Scraper work?

It works just like searching AutoTrader.ca yourself — it opens the results for your city or postal code and filters, then collects the publicly visible details from each listing, only far faster and at scale.

Can I scrape multiple locations?

Each run centers on one city or postal code and radius. To cover several areas, run the scraper multiple times with different locations, or schedule automated runs for each.

What units are used?

All prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD) and mileage is in kilometres.

Why are some fields missing?

Listings vary by seller. Core fields are always captured; details like VIN, features, or interior colour appear only when the seller provided them.

Is it legal to scrape AutoTrader Canada?

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal. This scraper only collects publicly visible listing information — no private user data or content behind access controls. Always use scraped data responsibly and in line with applicable laws and AutoTrader.ca's Terms of Use.
