1A Auto Scraper: US Auto Parts, Fitment and Install Videos Data

1A Auto Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts auto parts from 1aauto.com, the US online retailer of aftermarket and OEM replacement parts. Each part row has the USD price, list price, stock, part number, brand, category, rating, warranty, the vehicles it fits (years, make, model), the competitor part numbers it replaces and the install videos of the part. It also reads the install guides, the category tree and the brands. No login, browser or proxy is needed.

Export the result as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it through the Apify API. A run of 3 results takes about 9 seconds in the cloud (median 9.1 seconds over 22 test runs, peak container memory 77 MB).

What can you scrape from 1A Auto?

• Parts: about 100,000 part pages (brake pads, sensors, suspension, belts, filters, lighting and more) from TRQ, MOOG, ACDelco, Dorman, Ford OEM and about 70 other brands. Each row has the title, brand, part number, 1A Auto part number, price, photos, description, specifications and what the kit includes.
• Vehicle fitment: the list of vehicles each part fits, with year range, make, model and the engine or trim details the site prints. Filter by make, model and year to get only the parts for one vehicle.
• Interchange numbers: up to 100 competitor and OEM part numbers a part replaces, with the brand of each.
• Prices and stock: selling price, list price, discount percent, sale flag, stock status, pack quantity, rating, review count, warranty, return window and free shipping.
• Install guides: about 28,000 how-to video pages with the tools needed, the vehicles covered, the parts used in the video, the channel, the length and the spoken transcript.
• Categories and brands: the full category tree (265 categories with group and path) and the 74 brands, one row each.
• Price and stock changes: with monitoring on, a part whose price or stock moved comes back with the previous price and the difference.

Why use this 1A Auto scraper?

• Built for this one retailer: the actor reads the same part pages a shopper sees, so prices, stock and fitment are the site's own values.
• Fitment you can filter: pick a make, model and year and every row lists only the vehicles that match, so the answer to "does it fit my car" is in the row.
• Several ways to read: scan the catalog with filters, list a category, brand or model page, or look up exact part pages, part numbers and install video pages.
• Prices in USD: every row says USD and US. The price does not depend on the ZIP code.
• Clean output: typed numbers, no null fillers, the same column order every run.
• Polite by design: one request per second as the robots.txt of 1aauto.com asks, no login, and the pages the site disallows are never read.

How the filters work

• Search text needs every word of one text to appear in the part name, brand, part number or 1A Auto part number (any order, case ignored). Several texts are alternatives. For install guides the words are matched against the guide title.
• Categories take a name such as Brake Pads, an id such as 71, a group name such as Brakes & Wheel Bearing (every category in it) or a category page address. An unknown category returns a free error row with the closest names.
• Brands take a name such as MOOG, Dorman or Ford OEM, or a brand id. An unknown brand returns a free error row with the closest names.
• Vehicle make, model and year keep the parts whose fitment list has a matching entry. A short model name such as Silverado covers every Silverado model. Make aliases such as Chevy and VW work. For install guides the make, model and year are matched against the guide title, which names the vehicle and the year range.
• Price range and minimum rating are checked on the category lists when no category, brand, vehicle or search text is set, so a part that fails them costs no page request. Most parts cost more than 20 US dollars, so a very low maximum price can take a long scan; combine it with a category.
• In stock only and below list price only are checked on the part page.
• Updated since and Recently updated first use the last-modified date of each page in the 1A Auto sitemap. They cannot be combined with categories, brands or a vehicle for parts, because those lists carry no dates.
• Maximum items counts every row of every type; parts come first, then guides, categories and brands. Maximum scan time (default 900 seconds) stops a long scan and keeps the rows found. Free plans return up to 10 rows per run.
• Maximum fitment entries per row (default 100) limits the fitment list of a part, and of an install guide, to keep rows small; fitmentCount and vehicleCount give the full number.

Monitor 1A Auto price and stock changes

Switch on Only new items (monitor) and the actor remembers every row it delivered in a named key-value store of your own account (1aauto-seen). Scheduled runs of the same search return only rows it has not delivered before; a second run with nothing new returns 0 rows and charges nothing. Add Also return price and stock changes and a part whose price or stock changed comes back with previousPrice, priceChange, priceChangePct and changeType (price-drop, price-increase, out-of-stock or back-in-stock). When the part comes from a category, brand or vehicle list, an unchanged part is skipped without reading its page.

How does it compare with other options?

A search of the Apify Store on 2026-10-23 for 1aauto and 1aauto.com found no actor for this site. Actors for other parts retailers publish 19 to 29 fields per part (title, brand, price, stock, rating, fitment for the vehicle years). This actor returns 61 columns for 1aauto.com and adds the install guides with transcript and vehicle lists, the interchange numbers, kit contents, warranty and return window, the category tree, vehicle filters and built-in price monitoring.

	1A Auto Scraper	A generic e-commerce scraper
Fitment	Year range, make, model and details per vehicle, filtered to your vehicle	One text field, if any
Interchange	Brand and number of every competitor or OEM part replaced	Not part of a generic page layout
Install guides	Tools, vehicles, parts used and transcript per how-to video	Not covered
Filters	Category, brand, vehicle make, model and year, price, stock, sale, rating, update date	Depends on the tool
Monitoring	Built in, with previous price and type of change	Usually left to you

Is it legal to scrape 1A Auto? Limits and responsible use

The actor reads public pages without logging in, at one request per second as the robots.txt of 1aauto.com asks, and it never reads the pages that file disallows (the site search, the sort and price parameters, the garage, the cart and the account pages). It collects public product data only and never reads reviewer names or locations. A retailer catalog can be protected by copyright and database rights, and the site has terms of use, so check that your use of the data is allowed before you rely on it.

• One request per second. A part page takes about 1.1 seconds, so a run of 1,000 parts takes about 20 minutes. The catalog has about 100,000 part pages, so a full scan does not fit in one run. Slice by category, brand or vehicle, and use the category lists (10 parts per request) for price filters.
• Filters on the part page cost one request per part. A narrow filter with no category, brand or vehicle can scan many pages before it finds a match, up to Maximum scan time. In the test runs, 3 parts above 150 US dollars with no other filter took about 3 minutes, because the first categories in the list hold few parts at that price; add a category to get results in seconds.
• The vehicle filter needs a fitment list. A part with no fitment list (for example some universal parts) has no vehicle and is left out when you filter by vehicle.
• The dates come from the sitemap. updatedAt is the last-modified date the site publishes, not a price history.
• Stock and price change during the day. available and price describe the moment of the read.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Apify MCP server to Claude, Cursor or another MCP client and this actor appears as a tool: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=RecordsData/1aauto-scraper.

Example prompt: "Find in-stock MOOG sway bar links for a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 on 1aauto.com with price and warranty." The agent sends { "mode": "search", "brands": ["MOOG"], "searchQueries": ["sway bar link"], "vehicleMake": "Chevrolet", "vehicleModel": "Silverado 1500", "vehicleYear": 2007, "inStockOnly": true, "maxItems": 20 } and reads the rows.

Run it from code

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('RecordsData/1aauto-scraper').call({
    mode: 'search',
    categories: ['Oxygen Sensors'],
    onSaleOnly: true,
    maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.length, items[0].title, items[0].price, items[0].listPrice);

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape 1A Auto prices and stock?

Yes. Every part row has the USD selling price, the list price and discount when the price is below it, the stock status and the number of pieces in the pack. Run it on a schedule with the monitor on to track price and stock changes from one run to the next.

Can I get the parts that fit my vehicle?

Yes. Set Vehicle make, Vehicle model and Vehicle year (for example Ford, F-150, 2005). The actor lists the parts of that model page, keeps the ones whose fitment covers the year and returns only the matching fitment entries in each row. Add a category such as Brake Pads to narrow it down.

Can I look up a part by its part number?

Yes. Use mode Lookup and put the 1A Auto part numbers (the code at the end of a part address, such as 1AEOS00170) in Part numbers, or paste the part page addresses. In mode Search, a manufacturer part number such as OSA61291 in Search text finds the part too. A number the site does not know returns a free error row.

Does it return the competitor and OEM numbers a part replaces?

Yes. Each part row has interchange with the brand and number of every competitor or OEM part it replaces (up to 100 per part), and interchangeCount with the full number.

Can I get the install videos and guides?

Yes. Choose Install guides in What to collect. Each row has the title, length, channel, tools, the vehicles covered, the parts used and the transcript. Part rows also list the install videos of the part in installVideos.

Do I need a proxy, a login or an API key?

No. 1aauto.com answers ordinary browser-style requests from Apify servers, with no blocked request in the test runs. A proxy setting exists but is off by default, and the actor does not need an account on the site. You only need an Apify account to start runs.

Is it legal to scrape 1A Auto?

The actor reads publicly visible pages and no personal data, and it follows robots.txt. Catalog data can be protected by copyright and database rights, so you are responsible for checking that your use is allowed before you rely on it. Contact: contact.punkrecordsdata@gmail.com.

How many parts can I get in one run?

The sitemap lists about 100,000 part pages. The site asks for one request per second, so a run is bounded by Maximum items and Maximum scan time. Slice a large export by category, brand or vehicle.

How do I get only parts on sale?

Switch on Below list price only. The filter keeps parts whose price is below the crossed-out list price on the page. Add a category to keep the scan short.

How do I get only new parts or changes since my last run?

Switch on Only new items, and add Also return price and stock changes to also receive parts whose price or stock changed. The memory is kept in your own key-value store under the monitor name, and Forget what was seen clears it.

What happens when the search finds nothing or the input is wrong?

A search with no matches ends the run as succeeded with no rows and no charge. A wrong input, such as a minimum price above the maximum, an unknown category, brand, make or model, or an unknown part number, returns a free error row with the reason and the closest names, so a typo never costs you money.
