AutoTrader.ca Scraper — Canada Car Prices, Dealers & Deals

AutoTrader.ca Scraper: Canada car prices, dealers and deals

Scrape AutoTrader.ca, Canada's biggest car marketplace. Get every car listing for a city, a province or all of Canada with the price, deal rating (Great / Good / Fair price), price drops, kilometres, year, make, model, trim, transmission, fuel, photos, dealer name, dealer phone and street address. Turn on full details for body type, colours, drivetrain, doors, seats, fuel economy, the features list, stock number, posted date, AutoTrader.ca's market price and the free CARFAX link. Or switch to Dealers mode for one row per dealership: a ready-made dealer lead list. No login, no cookies, no account.

How to use it

1. Enter one or more Locations: a city with its province (Toronto, ON, Calgary, AB, Montréal, QC), a whole province (Ontario, BC) or Canada.
2. Optionally pick a Make and Model (Honda + Civic, Ford + F-150, Mercedes-Benz), and filters: condition, dealer / private seller, price, year, kilometres, body type, fuel, transmission, search radius.
3. Set Max results and run. Results come newest first by default.

You can also paste AutoTrader.ca URLs: set up any search on autotrader.ca, copy the URL (all its filters are kept), or paste single listing URLs.

AutoTrader.ca's 4,000-listing limit

AutoTrader.ca shows at most 4,000 listings per search (200 pages). When you ask for more, the scraper splits the search into price ranges automatically, so you can collect tens of thousands of listings from one search. Listings without a price can be missed in very large splits; the status message says when that happened.

Every row has the same columns; a value the listing doesn't show is null. Without full details, the detail columns are null.

Pricing

Pay only for what you get:

	Price
Listing saved	$0.80 per 1,000
Full details for a listing (optional)	$1.00 per 1,000
Dealer saved (Dealers mode)	$3.00 per 1,000
Empty results page	$0.10 per 1,000 pages: a page of 20 listings that was read but saved nothing because of Only new listings, Only cars in the area, a search with no results, or (Dealers mode) no new dealership on it
Run start	$0.001 per run

The 20-listing example above costs about $0.017. Duplicates, sponsored repeats and cars this run already saw are never charged. The run never goes past your Max results or your maximum charge per run.

Use cases

• Dealers: price your stock against the market, track competitors' inventory and price drops, and spot cars priced below AutoTrader.ca's market price.
• Lenders, insurers and leasing companies: used-car values by make, model, year and kilometres, province by province.
• Lead generation: a dealership list with phone numbers and addresses for any city or province (Dealers mode).
• Car buyers and flippers: daily alerts for "Great price" listings with Only new listings on a schedule.
• Market research: inventory, pricing and EV / hybrid share across Canada.

Tips

• Daily monitoring: sort by newest, turn on Only new listings and schedule the run; each run returns only what's new.
• Local only: AutoTrader.ca mixes in cars from dealers outside your radius who deliver to you. Turn on Only cars in the area to leave them out.
• Bigger searches: use a province or Canada with filters, or several cities at once; Max results is shared fairly between them.
• Spelling: use make and model names as written on AutoTrader.ca (Mercedes-Benz, F-150, 3 Series). Unknown places or makes are reported in the status message and never charged.

FAQ

Do I need an AutoTrader.ca account or cookies? No. The scraper reads the same public pages any visitor sees, without logging in.

How many listings can I get? As many as you need: AutoTrader.ca shows up to 4,000 per search and the scraper splits larger searches by price automatically. Max results = 0 means everything (up to 50,000 per run).

Why do some cars have no price? Some dealers list a car as "price on request". Those rows have price: null and priceText: "Price on request".

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one.

What happens if the site doesn't answer? The run still ends successfully with everything saved so far and a plain message saying what happened. You are never charged for listings that weren't saved.

Is it legal to scrape AutoTrader.ca? This Actor only collects publicly available data: car listings that anyone can see on AutoTrader.ca without an account, such as the car, its price and kilometres, and the selling dealership's business name, phone and address. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. For private sellers the scraper keeps only the car itself: no name, phone number, street address or exact postal code (only its first three characters), and phone numbers, e-mail addresses and names are removed from their ad text. You must follow privacy laws such as PIPEDA, GDPR and CCPA, as well as AutoTrader.ca's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from pages AutoTrader.ca shows to any visitor without logging in. It never touches accounts, saved searches or messages, and it follows the site's robots.txt.
