Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Cars.com Scraper — US New & Used Cars, Prices & Dealer Leads Scrape **[Cars.com](https://www.cars.com)** — one of the largest US car marketplaces — into clean, structured data. Pull every search result with **year / make / model / trim, asking price, MSRP, price drops, mileage, VIN, body style, drivetrain, fuel type, colours, the selling dealer, and all photos**. Add full **vehicle-detail** records (complete feature list, condition signals, geo, dealer phone) and **dealer leads** with one toggle. Built-in **monitor mode** returns only new listings and price drops between runs. No API key, no login, no browser automation — fast HTTP straight to the source, with a **0-100 lead score** on every dealer. ### Why this Cars.com 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 Cars.com record** with everything a pricing model, an inventory feed, or a dealer-prospecting list actually needs: | Data | Typical car scrapers | This actor | |---|---|---| | Year / make / model / trim | ✅ | ✅ | | Asking price + **MSRP** + **price-drop amount** | partial | ✅ | | Mileage, **VIN**, stock type (new / used / CPO) | partial | ✅ | | Body style, drivetrain, fuel, exterior/interior colour | ❌ | ✅ | | **Full feature list** (opt-in detail) | ❌ | ✅ | | Condition signals — clean title, no accidents, single owner, open recall, history report | ❌ | ✅ | | Selling **dealer name, rating, city/state** | partial | ✅ | | **Dealer leads** (deduped, inventory count, lead score) | ❌ | ✅ | | All listing **photos** | partial | ✅ | | **Deal rating** & deal badge | ❌ | ✅ | | **Monitor mode** — only new listings & price drops | ❌ | ✅ | | Lead score (0-100) | ❌ | ✅ | ### Who buys Cars.com data? - **Car dealers & dealer groups** — track competitor pricing, days-on-lot and price drops on the exact year/make/model you stock. - **Automotive marketplaces, pricing & valuation tools** — feed live asking prices, MSRP and mileage into your model. - **Dealer-facing SaaS, ad-tech & vendors** — build prospect lists of dealers by market, inventory size and rating. - **Lenders, insurers & warranty providers** — size markets and reach dealers and shoppers. - **Wholesalers, flippers & exporters** — surface under-priced cars and recent price drops fast. - **Researchers & analysts** — used-car price trends, inventory and depreciation by make/model/region. ### How to use 1. [Sign up for Apify](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) — the free plan is enough to try this actor. 2. Open the **Cars.com Scraper**, then either paste **Search URLs** from cars.com or enter **makes / models + a ZIP** and click **Start**. 3. Watch results stream into the dataset table. 4. **Export** as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS — or pull results programmatically via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). ### Input The easiest way to run an exact search is to set your filters on cars.com and paste the resulting URL into **Search URLs**. Or build a search from fields: ```json { "makes": ["toyota", "honda"], "models": ["rav4"], "stockType": "used", "zip": "10001", "radius": 100, "priceMax": 35000, "mileageMax": 60000, "yearMin": 2019, "onlyWithPriceDrop": false, "includeCarDetails": false, "includeDealerLeads": true, "maxResults": 100 } ```` Or by URL: ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.cars.com/shopping/results/?stock_type=used&makes[]=honda&models[]=honda-accord&zip=10001" ], "includeCarDetails": true, "maxResults": 50 } ``` | Field | What it does | |---|---| | `searchUrls` | Paste cars.com search-results URLs — every filter in the URL is respected. | | `listingUrls` | Scrape specific `/vehicledetail//` pages as full detail records. | | `makes`, `models` | Build a search by brand (and optional model) + `zip`. | | `stockType` | `all`, `used`, `new`, or `cpo` (certified pre-owned). | | `zip`, `radius` | Search location and distance in miles. | | `priceMin/Max`, `mileageMax`, `yearMin/Max` | Numeric filters. | | `sellerType` | `any`, `dealer`, or `private`. | | `onlyWithPriceDrop` | Keep only cars that recently dropped in price. | | `sortBy` | Best match, newest listed, price, mileage or year. | | `includeCarDetails` | Open each vehicle-detail page for full features + condition signals + dealer phone. | | `includeDealerLeads` | Emit one deduplicated dealer / seller record with a lead score. | | `monitorMode`, `monitorKey` | Return only new listings & price changes since the last run. | | `maxResults`, `maxResultsPerSearch` | Result caps. | ### Output Each vehicle is one record. Example (trimmed): ```json { "recordType": "car", "listingId": "fa876696-ffd0-41b2-ad1a-db278660fc1f", "title": "2024 Toyota RAV4 XLE", "year": 2024, "make": "Toyota", "model": "RAV4", "trim": "XLE", "vin": "2T3P1RFV0RW432440", "stockType": "Used", "price": 31811, "priceDropAmount": 1100, "mileage": 27550, "bodyStyle": "SUV", "drivetrain": "All-wheel Drive", "fuelType": "Gasoline", "exteriorColor": "Ice Cap", "dealerName": "The Autobarn Countryside Subaru", "dealerRating": 4.6, "city": "Countryside", "state": "IL", "distanceMiles": 724, "photoCount": 6, "primaryPhoto": "https://platform.cstatic-images.com/.../photo.jpg", "listingUrl": "https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/fa876696-.../" } ``` With `includeCarDetails` the record adds `features`, `cylinders`, `doors`, `transmission`, `stockNumber`, `cleanTitle`, `noAccidents`, `singleOwner`, `openRecall`, `hasVehicleHistoryReport`, `latitude`/`longitude`, `market` and the dealer `phone`. A **dealer lead** (`recordType: "dealerLead"`) looks like: ```json { "recordType": "dealerLead", "dealerName": "The Autobarn Countryside Subaru", "sellerType": "dealer", "city": "Countryside", "state": "IL", "zip": "60525", "inventoryCount": 14, "avgPrice": 28940, "rating": 4.6, "leadScore": 88, "leadSignals": ["dealer", "high-inventory", "top-rated"] } ``` #### What to expect (field coverage) - **Vehicle core** (year, make, model, trim, VIN, price, mileage, body style, drivetrain, fuel, colour, photos): ~100% of listings. - **Dealer name, rating, city/state**: present on the great majority of dealer listings; private-seller and some sponsored cards may omit name/rating (we never fabricate it). - **Price drop**: only on listings that actually dropped — an intent signal, not a gap. - **Features & condition signals**: populated when you turn on `includeCarDetails`. ### Automate & schedule Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack: - **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST. - **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** — official SDKs. - **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** — run a saved search daily with **monitor mode** to capture every new listing and price drop as soon as it appears. - **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, repricing job) the moment a run finishes. ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/cars-com-scraper').call({ makes: ['toyota'], models: ['rav4'], stockType: 'used', zip: '10001', onlyWithPriceDrop: true, includeDealerLeads: true, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(`Got ${items.length} cars & dealers`); ``` ### Integrate with any app Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required: - **[Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make)** — multi-step automation scenarios. - **[Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier)** — push new listings & dealer leads straight into your CRM. - **[Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack)** — get pinged when a monitored search gets a new car or a price drop. - **[Google Drive / Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive)** — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet. - **[Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte)** — pipe results into your data warehouse. - **[GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github)** — trigger runs from commits or releases. ### Use with AI assistants (MCP) The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the **[Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp)** — ask your assistant to "find every used Toyota RAV4 under $30k within 100 miles of 10001 that just had a price drop, with the dealer and a lead score" and let it run the scraper for you. ### More scrapers from scrapesage Build a complete **automotive & marketplace data stack**: - **[AutoScout24 Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/autoscout24-scraper)** — Europe's largest car marketplace: listings, specs, prices & dealer leads across 8 countries. - **[AutoTrader.ca Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/autotrader-ca-scraper)** — Canada's #1 car marketplace with prices, specs & dealer leads. - **[SGCarMart Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/sgcarmart-used-car-scraper)** — Singapore used cars, prices, specs & seller contacts. - **[US Auto Dealer Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/us-auto-dealer-scraper)** — licensed auto dealers & repair shops from official state DMV registries. - **[FMCSA Trucking Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/fmcsa-trucking-scraper)** — US motor carriers & freight brokers with authority, insurance & contacts. - **[eBay Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/ebay-scraper)** — listings, prices, sold comps & seller leads. - **[Craigslist Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/craigslist-scraper)** — classifieds incl. cars & trucks with seller detail. - **[US Property Records Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/us-property-records-scraper)** — owner leads, values & characteristics from official county records. ### Tips - **Pasted URLs win**: pick your exact filters on cars.com, then paste the URL into `searchUrls` — it's the most reliable way to reproduce a search. - **Price-drop feed**: set `onlyWithPriceDrop: true` and sort by `listed_at_desc`, then run on a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) with `monitorMode` for a continuous repricing / buying signal. - **Dealer prospecting**: turn on `includeDealerLeads` and sort the dataset by `leadScore` to reach the biggest, best-rated dealers in a market first. - **Full specs**: enable `includeCarDetails` only when you need the feature list / condition signals — it opens one extra page per car. - **Go nationwide**: leave `radius` empty (or set it high) to include sellers that deliver to the buyer's ZIP. ### FAQ **Where does the data come from?** From public Cars.com search-results and vehicle-detail pages. **Does it need an API key or login?** No — no key, no login, no browser. The actor uses Apify's US residential proxy by default because Cars.com serves its data to US visitors. **How fresh is it?** Every run fetches live pages. Run it on a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) with `monitorMode` to capture new listings and price drops continuously. **Does it include dealer phone numbers?** Dealer phone is shown on the vehicle-detail page, so it's included when you enable `includeCarDetails`. Search results always include the dealer name, rating and city/state. **Will it return every car for a search?** It paginates through the results up to your `maxResults` / `maxResultsPerSearch` cap. Cars.com searches can have hundreds of pages — narrow with make/model/price/ZIP filters for focused, efficient runs. **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](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive). **Is scraping this data legal?** This actor collects publicly available listing data. You're responsible for using it in compliance with applicable laws and the site's terms. ### Need help?

Feature requests are welcome — this actor is actively maintained. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Paste one or more Cars.com search-results URLs (the page after you pick make/model/filters, e.g. https://www.cars.com/shopping/results/?stock\_type=used\&makes\[]=honda\&models\[]=honda-accord\&zip=10001). Every filter in the URL is respected. Easiest way to run an exact search. ## `listingUrls` (type: `array`): Paste specific Cars.com vehicle-detail URLs (e.g. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail//). These are fetched as full detail records (charged as carDetail). ## `makes` (type: `array`): Build a search by brand (e.g. \["honda","toyota","ford"]). Combined with ZIP. Leave empty to use Search URLs instead. ## `models` (type: `array`): Optional model names to pair with the first make (e.g. \["accord","civic"] for Honda). Use lower-case model names; the actor builds the cars.com make-model slug. ## `stockType` (type: `string`): Which inventory to search. ## `zip` (type: `string`): US ZIP code to search around (e.g. "10001"). Required when searching by make/model (not needed for Search URLs that already contain a ZIP). ## `radius` (type: `integer`): Distance from the ZIP in miles. Use a large number (e.g. 500) or leave empty for nationwide where the seller delivers. ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Free-text keyword to add to the search (e.g. "leather", "awd", a trim name). Optional. ## `priceMin` (type: `integer`): Keep only listings at or above this asking price. ## `priceMax` (type: `integer`): Keep only listings at or below this asking price. ## `mileageMax` (type: `integer`): Keep only listings at or below this odometer reading. ## `yearMin` (type: `integer`): Keep only listings from this model year or newer. ## `yearMax` (type: `integer`): Keep only listings up to this model year. ## `sellerType` (type: `string`): Limit to franchise/independent dealers or to private sellers. ## `onlyWithPriceDrop` (type: `boolean`): Keep only listings that recently dropped in price — the highest-intent, most negotiable cars. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Order Cars.com returns results in. ## `includeCarDetails` (type: `boolean`): For every listing, also open its vehicle-detail page to add the full features list, cylinders/doors/transmission, condition signals (clean title, no accidents, single owner, open recall, vehicle-history report), geo and dealer phone. Slower and billed as carDetail instead of car. ## `includeDealerLeads` (type: `boolean`): Also emit one deduplicated record per dealer / private seller found in the results, with inventory count, average price, location and a 0-100 lead score. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of vehicle listings to return across all searches. ## `maxResultsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Cap listings taken from each individual search / URL (paginates as needed). Leave empty to use Max results. ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Remember listings between runs in a named store and emit only NEW listings, price drops and price rises since the last run. Pair with Apify Schedules for a recurring price-drop / new-inventory feed. ## `monitorKey` (type: `string`): Name for this monitor's memory so different saved searches don't collide (e.g. "honda-accord-nyc"). Only used when Monitor mode is on. ## `includeRawFields` (type: `boolean`): Attach the raw Cars.com fields used to build each record (sourceFields) for debugging or extra data. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Cars.com serves clean data to US residential IPs. Leave the default (Apify Proxy, US residential) unless you know what you are doing. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [], "listingUrls": [], "stockType": "all", "sellerType": "any", "onlyWithPriceDrop": false, "sortBy": "best_match_desc", "includeCarDetails": false, "includeDealerLeads": false, "maxResults": 100, "monitorMode": false, "monitorKey": "default", "includeRawFields": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All scraped Cars.com vehicle listings (and any dealer-lead records) in the default dataset, each with pricing, specs, photos, deal rating and seller detail. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
