AutoTrader UK Scraper

What AutoTrader UK Scraper can do

• More data than typical scrapers. 100+ fields per vehicle, including full dealer contact (name, phone, email, postal address, GPS coordinates, opening hours), FCA finance registration, a 10-point vehicle history check, structured specification, running costs and the complete photo gallery with per-image classification tags.
• Two ways in. Search by filters (make, model, price, year, mileage, fuel, body, transmission, colour, drivetrain, seller type, distance and more) or paste any AutoTrader search or advert URL.
• Eight marketplaces, one actor. Cars, vans, bikes, motorhomes, caravans, trucks, farm and plant, all through the same input.
• Full result depth on request. Walks up to 100 result pages per search, up to the site's own ceiling of about 2,000 listings; set Max pages to go past the default of 1.
• Pay only for the detail you use. The per-advert enrichment surcharge is billed only for adverts whose detail page is actually fetched and kept in the output; a listing-grid-only search run adds no surcharge.
• Resume and recurring monitoring. Continue an interrupted crawl with resumeFromRunId, or turn on Incremental mode to schedule the same search and get only the listings that are new, changed, back on sale, or gone.

Ways to use this data

• Dealer stock monitoring: track a dealer's or a competitor's live inventory, price changes and how long stock sits before it sells.
• Market pricing research: build price-per-mile and price-per-year datasets across makes and models to spot under- and over-priced listings.
• Lead generation: collect dealer contact details and current stock for outreach lists or an aggregator site.
• Vehicle history and condition screening: pull the 10-point history check and full specification before shortlisting a vehicle.
• Price-drop and new-listing alerts: schedule Incremental mode so you only hear about listings that appear, change price, or disappear.
