Autotrader Australia Scraper

Pull new and used car listings from Autotrader.com.au at scale — advertised and driveaway pricing, odometer, VIN, full specifications, itemised features, dealer contacts, coordinates, and every photo, across roughly 78,000 live listings nationwide. Search by make and model, or paste any Autotrader search or car page address. Built for dealer-network analysts, automotive market researchers, lead-generation teams, and price-comparison and valuation builders who need a clean, structured Australian vehicle dataset without hand-crafting search links or maintaining their own extraction stack.

Why This Scraper?

• Structured search across ~78,000 live listings — set make, model, state, suburb, price and year as plain input fields. Competing Autotrader actors accept nothing but hand-built search addresses; here you never have to construct one.
• Thirteen filters, every one verified against returned rows — make, model, 8 states and territories, exact suburb, 4 conditions, 9 body types, 7 fuel types, 2 transmissions, 4 drive types, plus a price band and a year band.
• Arbitrary price and year bands the website itself cannot do — Autotrader's own filters snap to preset buckets like "under $10,000". Here priceMin: 23456 with priceMax: 23999 is honoured exactly, so you can slice inventory at any threshold your model needs.
• VIN on every single row, dealer stock number on 9 in 10 — decode build specs, reconcile against auction or finance records, and spot the same car re-advertised by a second dealership.
• Up to 168 itemised features per car — every factory and dealer-fitted option as a clean string array ("Adjustable Steering Col. - Tilt & Reach", "Bluetooth Connectivity"), not one comma-jammed blob you have to split yourself.
• Australian driveaway vs advertised pricing kept strictly separate — price, priceDisplay, priceType, driveawayPrice and isDriveawayPricing, so "$25,990 excl. gov. charges" is never silently compared against a driveaway figure.
• Dealer contact block on 100% of rows — trading name, phone, suburb and state, plus the listing's own latitude and longitude for mapping and catchment analysis; switch on full listing details and the dealership's street address is added too.
• Up to 70 full-resolution photos per listing — ordered exactly as the dealer arranged them, alongside ANCAP safety rating, engine size, power in kW, cylinders, seats, doors and exterior colour.
• Eight result orderings, so you pay for the cars you actually want — cheapest first, dearest first, recently updated, newest or oldest model year, lowest or highest odometer. Ask for the 20 cheapest Toyotas and you are billed for 20 rows, not for all 11,800 sorted afterwards.
• Exact result counts, never an overshoot — ask for 120 cars and you get exactly 120 unique listings, so you are never charged for rows you did not request.

Tips for Best Results

• Sort first, then set a small maxResults — this is the single biggest saving available. "The 20 cheapest Toyotas in Victoria" is sortBy: "price-asc" with maxResults: 20, which bills 20 rows. Without the sort you would have to collect every matching car and sort them yourself. The same trick with "newest" gives you a cheap daily monitor of fresh stock.
• Use any price band you like — priceMin and priceMax accept any whole dollar amount, so a band like 23,456 to 23,999 works even though the website only offers coarse preset ranges. This is the fastest way to isolate a single trim level's real market position.
• Prefer state over city — city is an exact suburb match, not a radius. "Melbourne" returns only cars listed in the suburb of Melbourne itself, not the wider metro area. If a suburb search comes back thin, clear it and use the state.
• Turn off full listing details for speed — specifications, VIN, stock number, price, dealer name and phone, and every photo all arrive either way. Switching includeListingDetails off only drops the written description, the itemised feature list and the dealer's street address, and makes large runs noticeably faster.
• Certified pre-owned is a small, specialist pool — combining that condition with a narrow make, model or price band often returns nothing. Start with the condition on its own, then add filters one at a time.
• Start small, then scale — run 20 to 50 cars first to confirm the fields match your needs, then raise maxResults, or set it to 0 to collect everything matching your filters up to 50,000 cars.
• Paste addresses or use filters, not both — when startUrls is filled in, the make, model, location and filter fields are ignored (the sort order and result limit still apply). Copy addresses straight from your browser's address bar: a news, dealer profile or hand-typed address is skipped with a note in the log rather than quietly collecting the whole site, and combined addresses like /for-sale/electric/suv are best rebuilt with the filter fields instead.
• De-duplicate on vin, not listingId — the same physical car is sometimes re-advertised under a new listing identifier or by a second dealership. Grouping on VIN gives you a true unique-vehicle count, and grouping on dealerId gives you a clean per-dealership inventory roll-up.

Pricing

From $0.90 per 1,000 results at the Gold tier — for a 48-field schema with full specifications, dealer contacts, coordinates and every photo, on a scraper you drive with plain search fields instead of hand-built addresses. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.105	$0.100	$0.095	$0.090
1,000	$1.05	$1.00	$0.95	$0.90
10,000	$10.50	$10.00	$9.50	$9.00
100,000	$105.00	$100.00	$95.00	$90.00

A "result" is one car listing row in your dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
