Why this CarGurus scraper?

Most car-listing scrapers give you a name and a price for a handful of cars, then break on the next site update. This actor ships the full CarGurus record with everything a pricing model, an inventory feed, or a dealer-prospecting list actually needs:

With includeListingDetails on, each listing also carries description, options, allPhotos, priceHistory, accidentCount, ownerCount, salvageTitle, lemon, frameDamage, safetyFeatures, and more.

Monitor mode

Turn on monitorMode to remember every listing (and its price) across runs. The next run emits only:

• new listings (monitorStatus: "new"), and
• price changes (monitorStatus: "price_drop" / "price_increase").

State is stored in a named key-value store (monitorStoreName, default cargurus-scraper-monitor) — use a different name per tracked search to keep histories separate. This is orthogonal to Apify Schedules: the schedule decides when the run fires, monitor mode decides what's new — they work together without conflict.

Automate & schedule

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it hourly/daily/weekly to track new inventory and price drops in a market; perfect for pricing feeds and dealer-prospecting pipelines.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, repricing job) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/cargurus-scraper').call({
    zipCodes: ['90001'],
    distance: 50,
    includeDealerLeads: true,
    maxResults: 100,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new dealer leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored search finds a new price drop.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find Toyota RAV4s near 90001 under $30k with a great deal rating and list the dealers" and let it run this scraper for you.

Tips

• Make/model & advanced filters: build the exact search on cargurus.com and paste the URL into searchUrls — CarGurus honors all its filters and sort there.
• Best deals: set dealRatingFilter to ["GREAT_PRICE", "GOOD_PRICE"] to surface under-priced cars relative to the CarGurus Instant Market Value.
• Cleanest dealer lists: turn on includeDealerLeads + withDealerPhoneOnly to get a deduplicated, phone-verified dealer prospect list.
• Recurring monitoring: combine Schedules with monitorMode to track only newly listed cars and price drops.

FAQ

Do I need a CarGurus API key or login? No. This actor reads the public server-rendered search and listing pages — no key, no login, no browser.

Can I search by make and model? Yes — paste a CarGurus search URL with your make/model filters into searchUrls, or search by zipCodes and apply makeFilter / minYear / maxPrice / maxMileage.

Why Residential proxy? CarGurus serves clean pages over US residential IPs but challenges datacenter IPs. The default is Apify Residential (US); blocked requests retry automatically on a fresh IP.

Does it get dealer phone numbers and addresses? Yes — every listing carries the selling dealer's name, phone, full street address and city/state/ZIP. Turn on includeDealerLeads for a deduplicated dealer list.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

How do I track new inventory and price drops? Turn on monitorMode and create a Schedule; optionally add a webhook or Zapier zap to push changes into your CRM as they appear.
