🔍 How RockAuto Search Works

RockAuto search is part-number and brand oriented — a query needs a brand or a part number to return results.

• ✅ Works: NGK spark plug, Bosch wiper blade, Moog control arm, PH3593A
• ⚠️ Returns nothing: a bare generic category word with no brand, like just spark plug

Always pair a category with a brand, or use an exact part number, for reliable results.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I search — by part number or by keyword? A: Both. Use an exact part number (e.g. PH3593A) or a brand + part keyword (e.g. NGK spark plug). Search is part-number and brand oriented, so a bare generic word with no brand (just spark plug) returns nothing — always pair a category with a brand.

Q: How many parts can I scrape? A: FREE tier: 25 parts per run. PAID tier: unlimited parts across as many queries as you like.

Q: What's the difference between Overview and Detail mode? A: Overview is the fast path — brand, part number, price + core charge, category, fitment note, and product link. Detail adds the full specifications table, the long description, and OEM / interchange part numbers for every part.

Q: Does it capture core charges? A: Yes — the part price, the refundable core charge, and the total payable price are returned as separate fields so your cost math stays accurate.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV, and Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset.

Q: Can I find compatible parts across brands? A: Yes — run Detail mode to get OEM and interchange part numbers for each part, then cross-reference them to alternates.

Q: Is this legal? A: Yes — we only extract publicly available product data. See the legal section below.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Every run pulls live data at the moment you run it. Schedule runs to keep prices and availability up to date.

🐞 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Make sure each query includes a brand or an exact part number — a bare generic word (just spark plug) returns nothing
• Try an exact part number or pair the category with a brand (e.g. NGK spark plug)

Missing specifications, description, or OEM numbers

• Specs, long descriptions, and OEM/interchange numbers only appear in Detail mode — switch scrapeMode to detail

Fewer results than expected on the free tier

• The FREE tier is capped at 25 parts per run — upgrade to PAID for unlimited results
