How to use it

1. Add one or more cities, e.g. Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bangalore (Bengaluru works too), Pune, Hyderabad. Leave empty for all of India.
2. Optionally add brands / models: Maruti Swift, Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV700, or just Tata.
3. Set Max listings and any filters, then run.

Each brand/model is searched in each city. Max listings is the total for the run, shared fairly between your searches.

• Car valuation tools: feed real asking prices into your own price estimates.

FAQ

Do I need a CarDekho account, cookies or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public pages any visitor sees on cardekho.com. It never logs in and needs nothing from you except a search.

What about private sellers? CarDekho lists cars from dealers and from private owners. Private owners' listings are included by default but anonymised: only the city is kept — no locality, map pin, address or id. CarDekho itself never shows their names or phone numbers in the listing. Choose Seller types → Dealers to leave them out.

Why are some listings "read" but not saved? Price, year, km, fuel, transmission, body type, owners and seller type are checked on every listing after it is downloaded, so only listings that match are saved — and only those are charged. Very narrow filters on a broad search read more pages; add a brand, model or city to keep runs fast.

What if a city or model isn't recognised? CarDekho shows all of India for a city it doesn't know, so the scraper skips that search, doesn't charge for it, and names it in the run's status message. A model written differently (WagonR → Wagon R) is matched to CarDekho's own name automatically.

How fast is it? A results page holds 20 listings and takes about a second: 1,000 listings take about a minute and a half. Include listing details opens each listing's page as well — about one more second per listing.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If CarDekho refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them, and carries on without them when it doesn't.

What does a run cost? You pay per listing saved, per search, and a small fee per run; listing details are a separate, optional charge. See the Pricing tab. Listings filtered out are never charged.

Is it legal to scrape CarDekho? This Actor only collects publicly available data: used-car listings that anyone can see on cardekho.com without an account, such as the car, its price, photos and the selling dealer's business details. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. Private owners' listings are included without their locality, map location, address or ids. You must follow privacy laws such as India's DPDP Act, GDPR and CCPA, as well as CarDekho'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 CarDekho shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never submits the "View Seller Details" form and follows the site's robots.txt (it never uses the query-string search URLs or the internal API that robots.txt asks crawlers to avoid).
