Use cases

• Market research -- Track car prices across the Greek market to identify trends, seasonal fluctuations, and regional price differences.
• Dealership intelligence -- Monitor competitor inventory and pricing strategies in real time.
• Price comparison -- Build price comparison tools or alerts for specific makes and models.
• Data journalism -- Analyze the Greek used car market for stories on affordability, popular models, and import trends.
• Investment analysis -- Track depreciation rates and identify undervalued vehicles.

Proxy configuration

Car.gr is protected by Cloudflare. RESIDENTIAL proxies with a Greek IP are recommended for reliable results. The default proxy configuration uses Apify RESIDENTIAL proxies with country set to Greece (GR).

If you experience blocks or empty results, ensure your proxy configuration includes:

• useApifyProxy: true
• apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"]
• apifyProxyCountry: "GR"

Rate limits and performance

The scraper processes pages with built-in delays to avoid triggering anti-bot protections. Expect roughly 1-2 pages per minute, with each page containing approximately 25 listings. For 100 listings, a typical run takes 2-5 minutes depending on proxy speed.

Integrations

Use the Apify API to programmatically start runs, fetch results, and integrate with your existing tools:

• Google Sheets -- Export results directly to a spreadsheet.
• Webhooks -- Get notified when a run finishes.
• API -- Fetch results in JSON, CSV, or Excel via REST API.
• Zapier / Make -- Connect to 5,000+ apps with no-code integrations.
• Scheduling -- Run daily, weekly, or on any custom schedule.

Tips for best results

1. Use the make field instead of searchQuery when you know the exact manufacturer -- it uses Car.gr's native URL routing for more reliable results.
2. Set maxResults to a reasonable number to keep costs and run time low.
3. Add year and price filters to narrow down results and get more targeted data.
4. If runs return 0 results, try with a different proxy group or increase retry count.
