Daily Car Pricing Reports

Read a ready-made daily report on observed car asking-price changes for one source. Each report includes calculated facts, a short AI-assisted brief, and links to the underlying listings. Press Start with the default input for one recent report.

Output: source reports and listing evidence

Each dataset item is one source report, not an individual listing. It identifies its UTC report date, source, country, currency, and car market. facts contains verified price increases and decreases, a median percentage change across those verified changes, scraper coverage, and an explicit denominator note. brief is an evidence-linked explanation. evidence contains the original listing URLs and before-and-after asking prices. Reports have a revision number if late observations caused a corrected report to be published.

These are observed asking prices, not completed sale prices or valuations. A source report does not claim that the whole market rose or fell. A source with too few comparable changes, unreliable scraping, or suspect data has no paid report for that date.

The following is an observed report excerpt; identifiers and publication metadata are omitted here for readability.

Input: start with one report

Leave the input empty for one recent report. Enter a country such as ZA, an exact source slug, and optional UTC dates to narrow the search. max_reports accepts 1–30. Enable Check availability without buying to see a count with no paid report content. An empty match has no report charge.

{"countries":["ZA"],"max_reports":1}

The run's OUTPUT record contains the delivered count and next_continuation_token. Copy that token into the next run with the same filters to continue. Brief network interruptions are retried. A lasting API outage fails the run before any report is written. For scheduled checks, set require_results=true and fresh_within_days=1 so the run fails when the latest report is older than yesterday.

Use the Apify API

This example uses apify-client 3.x.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("thescrapelab/daily-car-price-reports").call(
    run_input={"countries": ["ZA"], "max_reports": 1}
)
if run is None or run.status != "SUCCEEDED":
    raise RuntimeError("The report run did not succeed; inspect its Apify run log.")

for report in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(report["report_date"], report["source"], report["brief"]["headline"])

Use cases

• Give a car sourcing team a source-level digest of observed asking-price changes.
• Follow the evidence URLs to inspect the listings behind the summary.
• Check source freshness before adding a report to a scheduled dashboard.

Limitations

Coverage depends on successfully observed listings at the selected source. Earlier and later price observations may be days or weeks apart; this is not a same-day market-wide index. The AI-assisted brief summarizes the supplied evidence and should be checked against the numeric facts and original listings. A recent report does not mean every underlying listing was observed yesterday.

Price

The introductory price is $0.50 per report delivered to the dataset. One default report costs $0.50 in result charges; 30 reports cost at most $15 in result charges, subject to the displayed Apify pricing and your spending limit. Availability checks and empty results have no report charge. The report is precomputed; customer runs do not trigger a new AI generation.

Support

Use this Actor’s Issues tab for questions or problems. Include the Apify run URL and the filters you used so the run can be investigated.
