Bobaedream Scraper: Used and New Cars in South Korea (보배드림)

Bobaedream Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts car listings from bobaedream.co.kr (보배드림), one of South Korea's biggest car marketplaces: domestic and imported used cars, new cars, lease and rent takeovers, from dealers and private sellers. Each listing comes with the price in Korean won, mileage, make, model, generation, trim, year, fuel, gearbox, drive type, color, engine size, photos, equipment list, accident-history summary, region and seller type. It also lists the dealers behind the ads. No login, no proxy, no browser. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

What can you scrape from Bobaedream?

• Vehicle listings from the two sections of the site: Buy My Car (dealers and private sellers) and the Cyber Store (dealer premium display). On 2026-10-23 the site held about 3,160 active ads: 1,078 domestic and 2,086 imported.
• Listing pages (optional): exact mileage, first registration, color, engine size and power, full equipment list, insurance-claim counts, owner changes, up to 30 photos and the seller's text.
• Dealers: the dealer directory with business name, address and map position, trade association, member since, ads in stock and cars sold.
• Lease and rent takeovers: upfront payment, monthly payment and months left.
• Monitoring: a repeat run returns only new listings, and a repriced listing comes back with its previous price.

Why use this actor?

• Real filters, checked again on every row: origin, make, model, year, price, mileage, fuel, gearbox, drive type, color, seats, engine size, region, seller type and offer type. Every row that leaves the actor is tested against your filters, so the output never contains an ad that does not match.
• Both price units: price is the full amount in won, priceManWon is the 만원 (10,000 won) figure exactly as the site prints it.
• Make, model and generation decoded: Korean titles such as 벤츠 6세대 S450L 4매틱 become make: Mercedes-Benz, model: S-Class, generation: Gen 6 (2013-2021), trim: S450L 4매틱. You can filter by English names (BMW, 3 Series, Sportage) or by the Korean ones.
• Clean, typed output: numbers are numbers, dates are ISO 8601, fuel, gearbox and drive type are English values, and absent values are left out instead of being filled with nulls.
• Privacy built in: seller names, private sellers' addresses, phone numbers and license plates are never output. Dealer business phones appear only when you switch them on.
• No depth limit: a search of 1,500 imported cars (22 result pages) ran in about 2.5 minutes with no duplicates.

How to scrape Bobaedream listings in four steps

1. Pick the Origin (domestic, imported or both) on the actor page.
2. Add a make such as Hyundai and a model such as Sportage, or leave them empty, and set filters such as year, price or fuel.
3. Set the maximum number of results and click Start.
4. Download the dataset from the Storage tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Three modes: search by filters, urls to read listings you already know (links or numbers like M2264013, also dealer pages) and dealers for the dealer directory. Make and model names are not case sensitive; an unknown name ends the run with one free error row that lists valid examples.

Every row is a vehicle listing or a dealer. Fields that do not apply, or that the seller left empty, are left out.

Monitor new listings and repriced ads

Switch on Only new listings (monitor) and the actor remembers every listing it delivered, in a named key-value store of your own account. Scheduled runs of the same search return only unseen listings. Add Report price changes and a repriced listing comes back with previousPrice, priceChange and priceChangePct. Use Monitor name to keep several searches apart and Forget seen listings to start over. Listings skipped by the monitor are never charged.

How does it compare with other Bobaedream scrapers?

The only other Bobaedream car scraper on the Apify Store, read on 2026-10-23, returns 11 fields per listing, including the plate number and the seller's phone. This actor returns more than 80 fields and leaves out the plate number, the seller's name and private phones on purpose.

	Bobaedream Scraper	Other Bobaedream scraper
Fields per listing	More than 80, flat and typed	11
Filters	Over 20 (make, model, year, price, mileage, fuel, gearbox, drive, color, seats, engine size, region, seller and offer type)	Not listed

Plate numbers and private phones	Never output	Output

Is it legal to scrape Bobaedream? Limits and responsible use

The actor reads public listing pages and the public result lists of the site. It does not log in or bypass any protection, and the robots.txt of the site allows these pages. Seller names, private sellers' addresses and phone numbers, and license plates are never output; dealer business phones only appear with Include dealer contact details. You are responsible for using the data in line with the site terms and the data protection law that applies to you, including the Korean Personal Information Protection Act.

Limits:

• The result list shows rounded mileage (10,000 km steps above 10,000 km, 1,000 km steps below) and a month-and-day date without a year. Switch on Read the listing page of every ad for exact mileage, the exact first registration, color and engine size.
• Color and engine size filters work from the listing page, so they read every candidate page and are slower than the other filters.
• The site's own search is Korean: a keyword in English finds nothing. Make and model names accept English.
• Many imported cars carry "price on request" instead of a price (more than half of the imported ads on 2026-10-23). They have priceOnRequest: true and no price. When you set a price bound they are not returned, as on the site itself.
• Sellers type their own prices: a few ads carry obvious typing errors, and a sort by price shows them first.
• Titles, equipment and descriptions are in Korean, as written by the sellers.
• Wanted ads, parts and the valuation tables of the site are not covered.
• Free Apify plans are limited to 10 results per run.

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/bobaedream-scraper.

Example prompt: "Find the 20 cheapest diesel Kia Sportage cars from 2019 or newer on Bobaedream and list price, mileage, region and seller type." The agent sends { "mode": "search", "make": "Kia", "model": "Sportage", "fuelType": "diesel", "yearFrom": 2019, "sortBy": "price-asc", "maxItems": 20 } and analyzes 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/bobaedream-scraper').call({
    mode: 'search',
    origin: 'imported',
    make: 'BMW',
    yearFrom: 2020,
    maxItems: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.length, items[0].title, items[0].price);

You can also use the Python client, Make, Zapier or n8n, and schedule runs in the Apify Console.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which listings does Bobaedream Scraper cover?

Used and new cars sold on bobaedream.co.kr: domestic and imported, dealers and private sellers, sale, lease takeover and rent takeover ads, in both the Buy My Car section and the Cyber Store. By default only active ads are returned; switch on Include sold and expired ads to get the others, marked by listingStatus.

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

No. The actor makes plain HTTP requests to the public site and needs no proxy, browser or Bobaedream account. You only need an Apify account to start runs, and the free plan returns up to 10 results per run. The input accepts a proxy if the site ever starts blocking.

Is it legal to scrape bobaedream.co.kr?

The actor reads publicly visible listings and does not log in. It respects the site's robots.txt. Seller names, private sellers' phones and addresses and license plates are not output, and you remain responsible for using the data in line with the site terms and the data protection law that applies to you.

How much does a run cost?

The actor is billed per event: one price for a vehicle listing from the result list, one for a listing with its full page, and one for a dealer. The Pricing tab of the actor page shows the live rates. Error rows, empty searches and listings skipped by monitoring are never charged.

What is the difference between a vehicle record and a vehicle detail record?

A vehicle record comes from the result list and already holds price, make, model, generation, year, rounded mileage, fuel, gearbox, region, a thumbnail and the seller type. Switch on Read the listing page of every ad to get a vehicle detail record with exact mileage, color, engine size and power, the equipment list, insurance-claim counts, owner changes, all photos and the seller's text.

Why do many imported cars have no price?

Sellers of imported cars often write "price on request" (가격상담) instead of an amount. Those rows have priceOnRequest: true and no price or currency, so they are never read as a price of zero. Filter on that flag in the dataset to find them or leave them out. When you set a price bound they are dropped.

What do price and priceManWon mean?

The site quotes prices in 만원 (man-won), units of 10,000 won: 620만원 is 6,200,000 won. priceManWon is that figure, price is the full amount in won (priceManWon times 10,000), and currency is KRW.

Why is the mileage sometimes rounded?

The result list prints rounded values such as 7만km. Rows built from the list have mileageRounded: true. With Read the listing page of every ad you get the exact odometer reading. A few imported cars report miles; their mileageUnit is mi.

Why is there no seller name or phone number in the rows?

Seller names on the site are personal names and private sellers' phones are personal data, so they are not output. For dealers the business name is output, and the dealer's business phone is returned only when you switch on Include dealer contact details. To reach a seller, use the contact options on the listing page of the site itself.

Can I search in English?

Make and model accept English names (Mercedes-Benz, E-Class, Sportage) and Korean ones. The free-text Keyword goes to the site's own Korean search, so use Korean words there, for example 스포티지.

Can I get only the listings published since my last run?

Yes. Switch on Only new listings (monitor) and keep the same search settings, or the same Monitor name. Add Report price changes to also get a row, with changeType, previousPrice and priceChangePct, when the price of a known listing moves.

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

A search with no hits ends as succeeded with an empty dataset and charges nothing. A wrong input value, such as a minimum year above the maximum or an unknown make, ends as succeeded with one free error row that explains the problem, so a typo never costs you money.
