AutoUncle Automotive Search Scraper: Extract Used Car Listings Across Regions

---

What Is AutoUncle?

AutoUncle is a leading pan-European automotive marketplace specializing in used car listings. Operating across multiple domains (Sweden .se, Switzerland .ch, Germany .de, and others), it aggregates thousands of vehicle inventory records with detailed specifications, pricing, and seller information. Manual extraction of this data is tedious and error-prone — the AutoUncle Automotive Search Scraper streamlines the process, delivering clean, structured vehicle records from search result pages at scale.

---

Overview

The AutoUncle Automotive Search Scraper extracts used car listings from AutoUncle search pages, converting browser-rendered vehicle cards into comprehensive structured records. It is ideal for:

• Price analysts tracking automotive market trends by region
• Dealers & resellers monitoring competitor inventory and pricing
• Data aggregators building automotive marketplaces or comparison tools
• Researchers studying vehicle availability and valuation patterns

Key strengths include multi-domain support (any AutoUncle regional domain), configurable item limits per page, proxy integration for reliable collection, and graceful failure handling.

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object with the following parameters:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.autouncle.se/se/begagnade-bilar?page=2"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200
}

Configuration Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	Array	AutoUncle search result page URLs (e.g., browsed listings filtered by brand, price, or region). Supports pagination parameters like ?page=2.
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum number of car listings to extract per URL (default: 20; maximum: 200).
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, scraper continues running if some URLs fail. If false, the entire run stops on first failure. Default: true.

URL Examples

• Swedish domain: https://www.autouncle.se/se/begagnade-bilar?page=2
• Swiss domain: https://www.autouncle.ch/en/used-cars?filters=...
• German domain: https://www.autouncle.de/de/gebrauchtwagen?page=1

Tip: Use search result pages rather than individual car detail pages for efficient batch extraction.

How to Use

1. Navigate AutoUncle — Browse AutoUncle (.se, .ch, .de, etc.) and apply filters (brand, price range, year, mileage, body type).
2. Copy search result URLs — Copy the full filtered search page URL including pagination parameters (e.g., ?page=2).
3. Configure the scraper — Paste URLs into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url (default 20, up to 200 items per page).
4. Set failure handling — Keep ignore_url_failures: true for bulk runs to prevent interruptions.
5. Run & export — Start the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

• Use regional domains matching your target market (Swedish vehicles from .se, Swiss from .ch, etc.)
• Set max_items_per_url to 50–100 for balanced speed and completeness
• For large datasets, spread URLs across multiple smaller runs
• Monitor the Availability Verified field to exclude stale listings
