What it does

The actor takes a list of makes or "make model" phrases, picks the PatioTuerca country site you choose, paginates through the matching vehicle listings, and writes one normalized record per car to the run's dataset. Each record carries the price and currency, mileage, transmission, fuel type, body type, engine size, color, traction, condition, location, and the seller's name and phone. Each search term is scraped independently. Leave searches empty to scrape all available listings. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 10 Toyota, Chevrolet, and Kia listings in Ecuador.

{
  "searches": ["Toyota", "Chevrolet", "Kia"],
  "country": "ecuador",
  "maxCars": 10
}

Use make-only terms (Toyota) or make model phrases (Toyota Hilux, Chevrolet Sail). Switch country to peru or panama for those marketplaces.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~patiotuerca-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searches":["Toyota","Chevrolet"],"country":"ecuador","maxCars":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~patiotuerca-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searches":["Toyota Hilux"],"country":"peru","maxCars":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/patiotuerca-scraper \
  --input '{"searches":["Kia"],"country":"panama"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per vehicle listing returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 vehicle listings per run. Upgrade for higher maxCars.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The search matched no listings on the chosen country site. Try a make-only term or switch country. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Which countries are supported? Ecuador, Peru, and Panama. Set country to the marketplace you want.

Can I scrape a specific model? Yes. Use a make model phrase such as Toyota Hilux or Chevrolet Sail in searches. Mix multiple terms in one run.

How do I get all listings, not just a few makes? Leave searches empty. The actor then collects all available listings up to maxCars.

Does each record include seller contact? Yes, when the listing publishes it. sellerName and sellerPhone carry the dealer or private seller contact.

Is this an official PatioTuerca tool? No. This actor is independent and reads only publicly available listing data. Use the results in accordance with the source's terms and applicable laws.
