Tips for Best Results

Use Precise Filters

• Combine city, make, and model when you want a focused dataset.
• Add year and price limits to reduce noise and collect faster.

Control Run Size

• Start with results_wanted: 20 for quick validation.
• Increase max_pages only when you need broader coverage.

Work With Search URLs

• Use startUrl when you already have a working PakWheels filtered search page.
• This is useful for advanced filters that are easier to build on the website first.

Use Proxies for Scale

• For repeated or larger collections, configure Apify proxies to reduce blocking risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it collect gallery images without opening the listing page?

Yes. The actor collects gallery image URLs directly from the search results page when they are available there.

Can I collect only one city or one model?

Yes. You can use the filter inputs or provide a direct startUrl from a PakWheels search page.

Are duplicate listings removed?

Yes. The actor keeps output unique using the PakWheels listing_id.

What happens if some listing fields are missing?

The actor skips empty values instead of saving null-heavy records, so output stays cleaner.

How many listings can I collect?

You can collect as many as PakWheels makes available for your query, limited by results_wanted and max_pages.

Does it include seller phone numbers?

No. Public seller contact endpoints were not available anonymously during testing.
