Trovit Cars Scraper

Extract used-car listings from Trovit Cars — a leading aggregator that collects vehicle ads from hundreds of dealers and classified sites into a single search interface.

What does this Actor do?

The Trovit Cars Scraper crawls Trovit Cars search result pages and outputs structured data for every listing found. Because Trovit is a search-result aggregator (SERP), all the key details — title, price, location, mileage, description, and image — are embedded directly in the search-result cards. No separate detail-page visit is required, making the scraper fast and efficient.

For each listing the Actor collects:

• id — Trovit's internal unique identifier for the car
• title — Car make, model, and year (e.g. 2024 Toyota Tacoma)
• priceText — Raw price string as shown on the page (e.g. $28,400)
• price — Parsed numeric price value
• currency — Detected currency code (USD, GBP, EUR, BRL)
• location — City or region where the car is listed
• properties — Array of specs extracted from property chips (mileage, year, fuel type, doors, etc.)
• description — Snippet description from the listing card
• imageUrl — Direct URL to the listing thumbnail image
• updatedText — Recency label (e.g. 30+ days ago, Today)
• isPremium — Whether the listing is a sponsored/premium placement
• clickUrl — Outbound tracking link (to the originating dealer site)
• searchUrl — The Trovit search page the listing was found on

Frequently asked questions

Does the Actor visit individual dealer sites? No. Trovit embeds all listing metadata in its search-result cards. The Actor never navigates to the third-party dealer links.

Can I scrape multiple searches at once? Yes — add multiple URLs to the Start URLs field. Each URL gets its own independent maxItems counter.

Will it work for all Trovit country domains? The Actor validates the hostname against all known Trovit Cars country domains listed in the table above.
