Autohero Scraper — Used Car Listings Across 9 EU Countries

Scrape used-car listings from Autohero.com, the online used-car dealer of Auto1 Group. Autohero sells fully inspected cars from its own inventory in 9 European countries: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, and Sweden — roughly 20,000 cars at any time.

Every car comes with unusually deep data for a car site: documented accident and damage counts from Autohero's own inspection, previous-owner count, service-book status, and (with details enabled) the VIN, the full equipment list, and individual service-history records.

No login, no cookies, no API key. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect via the Apify API.

How to scrape Autohero data

1. Pick a country (Germany has the largest inventory, ~7,500 cars).
2. Optionally filter by make ("BMW", "Volkswagen", "Mercedes-Benz" — aliases like "VW" work), model ("X1", "Golf", "Clio"), maxPrice, minYear, maxMileage, fuelType, or gearType.
3. Set maxResults (default 100). Leave all filters empty to scrape the whole country catalogue.
4. Optionally enable fetchDetails to add VIN, equipment, service history, and image counts. This costs one extra request per car, so a full-country detail run takes noticeably longer.
5. Run the actor and export the dataset in the format you need.

The scraper talks to Autohero's own product API, so results match exactly what the website shows, including prices and availability.

• Market research — analyse the EU used-car market: which models dominate, how mileage and age affect pricing, EV vs combustion share per country.
• Vehicle sourcing — dealers and exporters can filter by price, year, mileage, and damage count, and get the VIN and full equipment list for shortlisted cars.
• Data products — feed clean, structured car data into valuation models, comparison sites, or alerting tools.

FAQ

Is scraping Autohero legal?

The actor collects only publicly available product listings — the same data any visitor sees in a browser. It collects no personal data. Review Autohero's terms of service and consult a lawyer if you plan large-scale commercial use.

How fresh is the data?

Every run queries Autohero's live product API in real time. Prices, availability, and damage data are current as of the moment the run finishes.

Why are some cars marked with damages if Autohero sells inspected cars?

Autohero documents every cosmetic flaw (scratches, dents, stone chips) during inspection. A damageCount of 20 usually means 20 photographed minor blemishes, not a wreck — accidentCount is the field that tracks real accident history.

What does fetchDetails cost?

One extra API request per car. For 100 cars the difference is seconds; for a full German catalogue (~7,500 cars) it turns a 2-minute run into a run of an hour or more. The actor persists progress across platform migrations, so long detail runs resume instead of restarting.

Can I scrape all countries in one run?

One run scrapes one country store. To cover all 9, start 9 runs (they are cheap and fast) — or schedule them. Each country has its own separate inventory, so there is no overlap between runs.
