CarGurus UK Scraper: used car listings with deal ratings

Scrape used car listings from CarGurus UK (cargurus.co.uk) around any UK postcode. You get clean JSON with make, model, trim, price, CarGurus' own deal rating and expected price, mileage, fuel, gearbox, VIN, ULEZ status, days on market, dealer name and photos. Use it as an unofficial CarGurus API for UK used car prices and dealer stock. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from your own code.

• Cheap: $0.40 per 1,000 results, plus $0.0005 per run.
• Fast: 24 listings per request, with no browser. 48 listings take about 6 seconds.
• Deal ratings included: every listing carries CarGurus' dealRating (Great, Good, Fair, High or Overpriced) and expectedPrice.
• Filtered at the source: make, model, price, year and mileage are filtered by CarGurus itself, so you only pay for listings you asked for.
• No personal data: private sellers' names and all postcodes and phone numbers are never collected.

What can you use it for?

• Car trading: find listings priced below CarGurus' own expected price.
• Dealer and stock monitoring: track new listings around a postcode every day.
• Valuation: compare asking prices with CarGurus' expected price for the same car.
• Market data: feed listings into a spreadsheet, dashboard or pricing model.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0005 per run + $0.0004 per result.

Results	Cost
100	$0.04
1,000	$0.40
10,000	$4.00

The actor respects your run's maximum charge. It stops fetching once that limit is reached, so you are never billed past it.

Tips

• Use the full model name (3 Series, not 3) so CarGurus filters it; partial names make the actor read extra pages.
• For a daily feed of new listings, schedule it with sortType: LISTING_DATE and maxItems a little above your daily volume.

Use it from your code

Call the scraper through the Apify API, here with the Python client (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("xerneas_ftw/cargurus-uk").call(run_input={
    "zip": "B1 1AA",
    "distance": 30,
    "make": "Volkswagen",
    "maxPrice": 15000,
    "maxItems": 200,
})
for car in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(car["title"], car["price"], car["dealRating"])

It also works with JavaScript, plain HTTP, Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets through Apify integrations.
