Auto Trader UK Used Car Scraper and API

Extract genuine Auto Trader UK car listings with advertised cash prices in GBP, make, model, year, condition, photos and source links. Compare vehicle prices and market supply, export JSON, CSV or Excel, and integrate the Apify API into your own analysis.

Examples

{"term":"bmw","maxItems":3}

For several searches use {"searchTerms":["bmw","audi a3"],"maxPages":2}. searchTerms replaces term. This is the site's keyword search, not an exact make-only filter. Related matches and promoted real listings may appear. Display ads and non-vehicle campaign cards are not delivered as cars.

Data and pricing meaning

Fields include listing_id, title, subtitle, source_url, price, price_status, price_text, currency, make, model, model_year, condition, location_text, seller_type, listing_type and image_url, plus search, country, page, rank and extraction time.

Cash search mode is verified. The GBP price text is reconciled with the source's numerical advert price. Hidden prices remain null. Monthly finance instalments are not substituted for vehicle prices. Model year is the source's year field, not an inferred registration date. Seller names, contact details, registrations, VINs and exact seller addresses are not exported. Photos use the source's public image-size format.

The UK-wide source search uses a fixed public demonstration postcode only as a distance reference; it does not impose a distance-radius filter. location_text is the source's approximate locality/distance display relative to that reference, not the customer's location. No customer postcode, cookies or technical configuration is required.

Pagination and reliability

No hidden fixed result or page cap. maxItems limits all searches together and maxPages applies to each search. The default runtime budget is 240 seconds, adjustable up to 7200. The source's actual search windows and Apify spending limits still apply. Results are delivered progressively with shared deduplication; earlier pages remain available if later pages fail.

Verified empty searches return no_results without billable rows. Source errors and blocks are not presented as empty searches. Inspect RUN_SUMMARY and DIAGNOSTICS for completion, interruptions and errors. Public application configuration is refreshed automatically and HTTP/proxy connections are managed without customer setup.

USD 0.004 per genuine unique vehicle listing delivered, plus customer-paid Apify consumption. No charge for duplicates, summaries, errors or display ads. This candidate remains private; commercial pricing will be activated and checked only after explicit publication approval.
