Option 1: Paste a URL (easiest)

• https://www.classic-trader.com/uk/cars/muscle-cars
• https://www.classic-trader.com/de/autos/suche/bmw?yearBeginOfProduction=1960&yearEndOfProduction=1975

When you use URLs, all filter fields (Brand, Category, Year, Region) are skipped.

Can I access the data via API? Yes. Every run stores its dataset on Apify. Fetch it via REST API or use the official JavaScript/Python clients.
