Renrenche Used Car Scraper / 人人车二手车采集 (Apify Actor)

Scrape used car listings from Renrenche / 人人车 (renrenche.com, part of 58.com) across 683 Chinese cities — by city, brand/model, price, mileage, age, displacement, body type, transmission and color. The actor solves renrenche's antibot wall (58.com + Yidun captcha) in pure code, decodes the site's rotating font-encrypted prices at runtime, and can enrich every listing with full detail-page data: VIN (masked), spec tables, photo gallery, seller info and the owner's description. Pay-per-event pricing — you pay only for the results you get.

Why scrape Renrenche?

• China used-car market data — prices (in 万 CNY, the site's own unit), mileage, registration year, tags (验真 verified, 0次过户 0-owners, 原厂质保 warranty) for any city, brand or model.
• Per-city inventory — Beijing alone lists ~370,000 cars; every city has its own inventory and price level.
• Detail-page enrichment — VIN (masked), first registration, displacement, emission standard, spec tables, full original-size photo gallery, seller stats, new-car price and the owner's free-text description.
• Decoded prices — Renrenche renders prices with custom rotating "digit" fonts; the actor extracts the current font from every page and decodes prices to numbers, cross-checked against the plain-text price in each detail page title.

Features

Category	Capabilities
Search	City (683, Chinese name or URL slug), brand/model (auto-resolved to the site's slug pages), or ready-made renrenche URLs
Filters	Price (万 CNY), mileage (万公里), car age, displacement, body type, transmission, exterior colors (multi-select = union), insured-checks / video / new-energy toggles
Enriched data	Detail price cross-check, new-car price, color, first registration, VIN (masked), spec tables, full photo gallery, seller info, owner description — fetched per listing
Antibot	The 58.com verifycode wall (Yidun slide captcha) is solved in-process, once per exit IP; the sequential pagination gate (server-minted reentries token, one page after another on one session) is walked exactly like a real user; hard antibot denies trigger automatic rotation to a fresh IP/session
Price fonts	The site's rotating price-encryption fonts are decoded at runtime from the font embedded in each page (never stale)
Reliability	De-duplication across the whole run, pagination-gate recovery (same-page retry → chain rebuild → page skip), graceful stop at your spending limit, clear fail-fast messages when the site cannot be reached

Pricing (pay-per-event)

You are charged only for what you receive, event by event:

• listing — charged for every listing saved to the dataset (the listing-card data: decoded price, mileage, year, tags, photo, URL, …).
• listing-detail — charged in addition for every enriched listing (enrichment is controlled by maxDetails; 0 = unlimited, i.e. every listing is enriched by default). Enriched listings include much more content, so they cost more than a plain listing.

Not charged: duplicate listings (de-duped across the whole run), unavailable pages, empty results, and detail pages that are gone (the listing is still returned with its search fields, and no listing-detail is charged).

Maximum cost per run. You can set a spending limit in the Apify Console or via the API (maxTotalChargeUsd). The actor checks the limit, caps its own work so it fits the budget, and stops gracefully, keeping everything scraped so far.

Exact prices are configured by the actor owner in Apify Console and are intentionally not listed here — check the pricing on the Apify Store page.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
city	string	bj	City to scrape: the URL slug (bj, sh, gz, …) or the Chinese name (北京, 上海). 683 cities supported; validated and auto-resolved. Ignored when startUrls is set.
startUrls	URL list	–	One or more renrenche listing/brand/series URLs. When set, all other search fields are ignored — city slugs, brand/series path slugs, pve_<code>_<values> filter segments, pn<N> page numbers and the refundable / param112691 / xnycar query toggles are all understood (see Start-URL example).
brand	string	–	Brand in Chinese as shown on the site (e.g. 大众, 宝马) or the site slug (dazhong, baoma); resolved to the brand page /<city>/<brand>/.
model	string	–	Model/series name or slug (e.g. 卡罗拉, kaluola); resolved to the series page /<city>/<series>/. Falls back to the whole brand when not found.
priceMin / priceMax	number	0	Price range in 万 CNY (10,000 CNY units — how the site quotes prices). 3 = ¥30,000. Max 0 = no limit.
mileageMin / mileageMax	number	0	Mileage range in 万公里 (10,000 km units — the site's filter unit). 3 = 30,000 km. Max 0 = no limit.
ageMin / ageMax	integer	0	Car age in years since first registration. Max 0 = no limit.
displacementMin / displacementMax	number	0	Engine displacement range in liters. Max 0 = no limit.
bodyType	select	any	Sedan / SUV / MPV / Sports / Van / Pickup / New energy / Any.
transmission	select	any	Automatic / Manual / Any.
colors	string list	–	Exterior colors (black, white, red, gray, blue, yellow, brown, green, purple, pink, other). Multiple colors are OR-combined.
refundable	boolean	false	Only listings with the 检测保障 insured-inspection guarantee.
videoOnly	boolean	false	Only listings that include a video.
newEnergy	boolean	false	Only new-energy (electric / hybrid) vehicles.
maxPages	integer	0	Result pages (~50 listings each) to scrape per search or start URL. 0 = all available pages (default), up to the site's cap of 70.
maxItems	integer	300	Stop after pushing this many listings in total. 0 = unlimited (maxPages still applies).
maxDetails	integer	0	Enrich this many listings with the full detail-page data (see Enriched fields). 0 = unlimited — every listing is enriched. Each enriched listing is additionally charged as a listing-detail event.

Start-URL example

https://www.renrenche.com/bj/ershouche/pve_5864_3_5/pn2/

(Beijing, price 3–5万, page 2.) Start URLs are copied straight from renrenche.com or built by hand — the actor parses every supported filter:

• Filters (pve_<code>_<values> segments, joined by /): pve_5864 price (万), pve_5865 mileage (万公里), pve_112848 age (years), pve_2451 displacement (L), pve_2539 body type, pve_11287 transmission, pve_4917 color (repeat the segment for multiple colors)
• Brand/series: the path slug after the city (/bj/dazhong/), composable with pve segments
• pn<N> — the page to start from
• Toggles (query): ?&refundable=1, ?&param112691=1 (video), ?&xnycar=1 (new energy)

Multiple start URLs are scraped as separate searches and de-duplicated across the whole run.

Results limit per search (site cap)

Renrenche caps every search at 70 pages (~50 listings per page, ≈ 3,500 listings) regardless of how many cars match — pages beyond pn70 return an empty list. The site also gates pagination itself: page N+1 only serves to the browser session (a server-minted reentries token plus its cookies) that just served page N, so the actor scrapes each search's pages strictly in order on one session, exactly like a real user paging through the results. A gated page is retried and recovered automatically (same-page retry, chain rebuild, page skip); genuinely empty pages end the search cleanly, and empty pages are never charged.

Beijing alone has ~370,000 listings, so to collect more of the inventory, narrow the filters (brand, price range, …) and run several searches — each gets its own 70-page budget, de-duplicated across the run.
