How much does it cost to scrape Motors.co.uk?

Motors.co.uk Scraper uses simple HTTP requests (no browser needed), making it efficient. It charges $0.005 per run (start fee, based on its 1 GB memory allocation) plus $0.002 per result. 100 results costs about $0.21; 1,000 about $2.01; 5,000 (maximum per run) about $10.01. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Tips and advanced options

• Use make/model for precision — Free text search is fine for a specific model name, but make + model gives the most reliable filtering.
• National by default — Leave distanceMiles at 1000 to search the whole UK; only set a smaller radius if you specifically want listings near one postcode.
• Combine filters — Narrow results with price, mileage, and year filters for focused datasets.
• Schedule runs — Set up daily or weekly scraping to track price changes over time.

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape Motors.co.uk? Motors.co.uk Scraper accesses only publicly available search data that any visitor can see, through the same API the site's own search page uses. It does not require login, bypass authentication, or access private data, and it does not touch any URL disallowed in the site's robots.txt. Always review and comply with the target website's Terms of Service before use.

What are the limitations? Motors.co.uk's search API returns a fixed page size (roughly 20-22 listings per page, net of ad placements) regardless of what page size is requested — the actor handles this automatically by paginating.
