❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Autohero? Autohero Scraper reads publicly available listings through the same API the website uses, without login or protection bypass. Check Autohero's terms and your local rules for your use case.

Why are some prices in PLN or SEK? Poland and Sweden list in local currency; currency tells you which. Price filters use the same currency.

Which sort should I use for a full snapshot? Most popular, Newest listings or Lowest mileage return every car exactly once. Price sorts are great with Max items (e.g. the 100 cheapest) but can skip ~1% of cars on full exports.

Why do model names differ between countries? Autohero localises model names (e.g. BMW 3er vs Serie 3). Use brand filters plus model per market.
