How to scrape Cinch.co.uk used car data

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Enter a startUrl, or provide a make and optional model.
3. Set results_wanted and max_pages to control the size of the run.
4. Optionally configure Apify Proxy settings for your run.
5. Start the Actor and review the dataset preview.
6. Download the results or connect the dataset to your workflow.

Input priority is startUrl, then make and model. If no URL or make is supplied, the Actor collects from the general Cinch used-cars inventory. A direct startUrl takes priority over the other search inputs.

make	String	No	None	Vehicle manufacturer such as BMW, Audi, or Ford. Used when startUrl is not provided.
model	String	No	None	Vehicle model such as 3 Series, A3, or Focus. Use with make for a more focused search.
results_wanted	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of vehicle listings to save. Minimum value is 1.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a small run - Test results_wanted: 20 and max_pages: 2 before collecting a larger dataset.
• Use a complete public URL - Copy the Cinch listing page URL after applying the filters you need.
• Combine make and model - This is usually more focused than searching by make alone.
• Control pagination - Each page can contain up to 60 vehicles, so max_pages helps limit the collection scope.
• Schedule repeat runs - Daily or weekly runs can help compare changing prices, stock, and availability.
• Check optional fields - Finance, discount, dealer, and specification fields may vary by listing.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Apify Dataset - Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or other supported formats.
• Apify API - Start runs and retrieve dataset items programmatically.
• Google Sheets - Send vehicle records to spreadsheets for review and comparison.
• Webhooks - Notify downstream services when a run finishes.
• Make or Zapier - Connect vehicle data to reporting, CRM, and notification workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Cinch account or login?

No. The Actor is intended for public Cinch used-cars pages and does not require a Cinch account in the input.

How many vehicle listings can I collect?

You can collect up to the number of matching listings available within the configured results_wanted and max_pages limits. Increase both values gradually for larger runs.

Can I use a filtered Cinch search page?

Yes. Apply the filters on Cinch.co.uk, copy the resulting public URL, and provide it as startUrl.

Why is a field missing from a vehicle record?

Some listings do not publish every specification or finance value. The Actor omits unavailable fields, so missing data usually reflects the source listing rather than an empty placeholder.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to run the Actor daily, weekly, or at another interval, then compare the resulting datasets over time.

Can I export Cinch data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded as CSV or Excel, as well as JSON, XML, and other supported formats.

Is it legal to collect Cinch.co.uk data?

Public data collection may be subject to laws, privacy requirements, and website terms. Review Cinch's Terms and Conditions and make sure your use of the data is lawful and responsible.
