🎯 What this scrapes

subito.it is Italy's largest classifieds marketplace and the default place Italians buy and sell used cars (auto usate). It publishes no public API. This Actor wraps a polite scrape of the Auto category — paste a filtered subito search URL or use the default car listing page, and pull every listing's price, make/model/version, year, mileage (km), fuel, gearbox, power, body type, colour, seller type, region/province/town, full Italian description, and photos. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation to ride past DataDome.

🔥 What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per page, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.

💡 Use cases

• Used-car price analytics — track asking prices by make/model/year across the Italian market.
• Dealer inventory monitoring — diff successive runs to spot new arrivals and price cuts at specific dealers.
• Market research — aggregate fuel-type and gearbox mix to gauge EV/hybrid adoption in Italy.
• Lead generation — build a directory of car dealers from seller_name + location.
• Arbitrage / sourcing — find under-priced listings filtered by mileage, year, and power.

💰 Pricing

Pay-Per-Event — you pay only when these events fire:

Example: 1 000 results at the rates above ≈ $2.05. No subscription, no minimum, no card to start — Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit.

🚧 Limitations

Residential proxy required. subito.it's DataDome layer blocks datacenter exit IPs immediately. The Actor forces the Apify Proxy RESIDENTIAL group and raises an error if residential proxy is unavailable — runs on plans without residential proxy will fail with a clear message rather than silently returning empty results.

subito paginates 30 listings per page and very deep result sets eventually stop returning new pages — large queries cap out well before the full half-million listings. Private sellers usually leave seller_name blank. Mileage on the search payload is a precise scalar; some legacy listings only expose a mileage band. Detail enrichment adds one request per listing and roughly doubles run time, returning only higher-resolution photo URLs.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a subito account or API key?

No. subito.it offers no public API. This Actor scrapes the public Auto category politely — see the ToS Notice in the README.

How do I scrape a filtered search?

Apply your filters on subito.it, copy the resulting URL from your browser, and paste it into searchUrl. We walk the result pages from there.

Why is subito hard to scrape?

subito is protected by DataDome bot mitigation. This Actor rides past it with browser TLS impersonation, rotating sessions on 403/429, exponential backoff, and a landing-page warm-up. Residential proxy is required — the Actor enforces this automatically and raises a clear error if residential proxy is unavailable on your plan.

Do I need detail enrichment?

Usually no. The search payload already carries price, full specs, seller, location, description, and thumbnail photos. Enable enrichDetails only when you want the full-resolution photo URLs from each detail page.

What currency are prices in?

Always EUR. price is an integer in euros; mileage is always in kilometres.
