Sauto.cz Cars Scraper

What does Sauto.cz Cars Scraper do?

Sauto.cz Cars Scraper collects structured personal-car listings from Sauto.cz, one of the main Czech car marketplaces. Provide one listing URL to keep its filters, or search with a vehicle keyword and Czech location. The dataset includes vehicle identity, price, mileage, fuel, gearbox, images, seller information, locality, dates, and direct listing URLs.

The Actor is useful for Czech car market research, stock monitoring, price comparisons, dealership analysis, vehicle sourcing, and recurring inventory checks. Results are saved as clean records that can be downloaded from Apify or connected to another workflow.

Why use Sauto.cz Cars Scraper?

• URL-first collection - Start with a Sauto personal-car URL and keep supported filters such as make, model, fuel, body type, price, condition, seller type, region, district, and page number.
• Search-based collection - Use a keyword such as skoda, BMW X5, or a model phrase when you do not have a saved listing URL.
• Location filtering - Enter a Czech region or district such as Hlavní město Praha, Brno-město, or Praha-východ.
• Vehicle-rich records - Receive pricing, dates, mileage, fuel, gearbox, category, manufacturer, model, images, locality, seller, and listing-status data when published by Sauto.cz.
• Clean output - Empty and null-only source properties are left out of each record. Valid false and 0 values are retained.
• Controlled pagination - Set both the maximum number of results and the maximum number of listing pages.
• Automation ready - Run on demand, schedule repeat collections, use webhooks, or download the dataset in common formats.

What data can you extract from Sauto.cz?

Every record keeps the non-empty properties supplied by Sauto.cz. The most useful fields include:

Field	Description
id	Unique Sauto listing ID
name	Listing title
url	Direct Sauto listing URL created from the listing ID and vehicle path
price	Advertised price in Czech koruna when available
manufacturer_cb	Manufacturer name, SEO name, and value
model_cb	Model name, SEO name, and value
additional_model_name	Trim, engine, or model specification
manufacturing_date	Manufacturing date when published
in_operation_date	Date the vehicle entered operation when published
tachometer	Mileage in kilometres
fuel_cb	Fuel name, SEO name, and value
gearbox_cb	Gearbox name, SEO name, and value
category	Sauto vehicle category
locality	Region, district, municipality, country, and related location data
images	Image URLs included in the search response; Sauto currently returns a maximum three-image preview here
images_total_count	Number of images published in the listing's full gallery, when available
premise	Dealership or seller information when available
create_date	Listing creation timestamp
edit_date	Last edit timestamp
sorting_date	Marketplace sorting timestamp
deal_type	Sale or other published deal type
price_by_agreement	Whether the price is negotiable or by agreement
topped	Whether the listing is promoted
home_delivery	Whether home delivery is offered
is_cebia_smart_code_url_verified	Cebia verification flag when published
source	Source classification supplied by Sauto.cz
user	Seller user information when published

Fields that are not published for a listing are omitted instead of being saved as permanent null columns. The search API returns only a three-image preview in images even when images_total_count is higher. Collecting the complete gallery would require an additional listing request, which this Actor intentionally does not make.

How to use Sauto.cz Cars Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one Sauto.cz personal-car listing URL, or leave the URL empty and enter a keyword or location.
3. Set the result limit and page limit.
4. Run the Actor and review the dataset preview.
5. Download JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or connect the run to an integration.

When url is provided, it has priority over keyword and location. This lets you reproduce a saved Sauto search without accidentally adding separate search filters.

Usage Examples

Collect the main personal-car listings

Use the main Sauto personal-car URL for a broad inventory snapshot:

{
  "url": "https://www.sauto.cz/inzerce/osobni",
  "results_wanted": 20,
  "max_pages": 2
}

Search by make and location

Leave url empty to use a keyword and a Czech location:

{
  "keyword": "skoda",
  "location": "Hlavní město Praha",
  "results_wanted": 50,
  "max_pages": 4
}

Keep a make, model, and URL filter

Use a working Sauto URL when you need the marketplace filter combination to remain unchanged:

{
  "url": "https://www.sauto.cz/inzerce/osobni/skoda/fabia?palivo=benzin&stav=ojete&strana=2",
  "results_wanted": 40,
  "max_pages": 3
}

Tips for best results

• Use a complete public URL copied from the Sauto personal-car section.
• For a saved search, keep the URL as the primary input instead of copying its filters into separate fields.
• Start with results_wanted: 20 to verify the dataset before scheduling larger runs.
• Use max_pages as a safety limit when collecting a large inventory.
• Use Sauto Czech region or district names for the best location match. The Actor also accepts their SEO-style names.
• Check price, tachometer, manufacturing_date, locality, images, and images_total_count together when comparing vehicles. images is the search-result preview, not necessarily the complete gallery.
• Public listings can change or disappear between runs. Re-run the same input when you need a current snapshot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a Sauto make or model URL?

Yes. URLs such as /inzerce/osobni/skoda and /inzerce/osobni/skoda/fabia are supported. Query filters and a page number in the URL are retained.

Can I search without a URL?

Yes. Leave url empty and provide keyword, location, or both. The search fields are used only when the URL is empty.

Which location names work?

Use Czech regions and districts shown by Sauto.cz, such as Hlavní město Praha, Jihomoravský kraj, Brno-město, or Praha-východ. The Actor resolves the human-readable name to the corresponding marketplace location.

Are missing properties saved as null?

No. Null and empty-string properties are omitted from each dataset item. This keeps exports easier to use while retaining meaningful boolean and numeric values.

Does images contain every image for a vehicle?

No. Sauto's search API currently returns a maximum three-image preview in images; images_total_count can be higher and indicates the size of the full gallery. This Actor does not visit listing detail pages or make extra per-listing requests, so it cannot collect the remaining gallery URLs without violating that single-request constraint.

Can I collect more than one page?

Yes. Increase results_wanted and set max_pages to the maximum number of pages you want checked. The Actor stops when it reaches the result limit or the marketplace has no more results.

Can I export the data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify dataset exports include JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other supported formats.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule and use the same URL or search input for recurring inventory and price monitoring.

Is it legal to collect Sauto.cz data?

You are responsible for following Sauto.cz terms, applicable laws, privacy requirements, and any restrictions connected to your intended use. Collect and use public data responsibly.
