Encar Scraper — Korean Used Car Listings, Accident History & Inspection Data

Scrape Korea's largest used-car marketplace (Encar.com) into a clean, structured dataset — every listing under the manufacturer/model tree, with the official history that actually decides a car's export and wholesale price.

Supports both English and Korean manufacturer and model names ("Hyundai", "Kia", "Genesis", "BMW", "Mercedes-Benz", "Grandeur", "Sorento", "5 Series", "E-Class", or "현대", "기아", "그랜저").

Pricing at a glance

Unique vehicles collected	You pay
50 vehicles	$0.25
200 vehicles	$1.00
1,000 vehicles	$5.00

• $5.00 per 1,000 unique vehicles ($0.005 / vehicle).
• Duplicate dealer ads are filtered out before billing: dealers on Encar frequently re-post the same physical car under multiple ad IDs (~21% of raw search listings). This Actor filters for ServiceCopyCar=ORIGINAL and deduplicates by vehicleId so you only pay once per real vehicle.
• Taxonomy rows are free: manufacturer/model count summaries are stored in a separate encar-taxonomy dataset so they never count toward your billed results.
• Set Maximum cost per run in Apify and the Actor stops cleanly as soon as your budget cap is reached.

• Prices (priceManwon, originPriceManwon) are in 만원 (10,000 KRW) exactly as Encar quotes them (e.g. 3980 = 39,800,000 KRW ≈ $29,000 USD).
• Spreadsheet-ready accident columns: inspectionAccident, inspectionSimpleRepair, inspectionFlooded, replacedPartCount, weldedPartCount, and repairedParts are flattened onto the top-level row so CSV/Excel exports work without unpacking nested JSON.
