Tips and advanced options

• Use make for precision — Set the make field (e.g., "volkswagen") for targeted results instead of free text search.
• Combine filters — Narrow results with price, mileage, year, and fuel type filters for focused datasets.
• Sort by price — Set sort to "price_asc" or "price_desc" to get cheapest or most expensive listings first.
• Schedule runs — Set up daily or weekly scraping to track price changes over time.
• Empty input works — Running with empty input {} defaults to searching for "Golf" to ensure results are returned.
• Use residential proxies — For best reliability, use Apify residential proxies (pre-configured by default).
• Cross-market analysis — Combine with our AutoScout24 or LaCentrale scrapers to compare prices across European markets.
