How to use CarGurus Scraper

CarGurus Scraper is designed for easy and fast start even if you've never extracted data from websites before. Here's how you can extract data from CarGurus:

1. Create a free Apify account using your email
2. Open CarGurus Scraper on the Apify platform
3. Click on the Try for free button
4. Enter your search parameters or start URLs
5. Click on the Start button and wait for the data to be extracted
6. Download your data in JSON, XML, CSV, Excel, or HTML

Input

The actor accepts either startUrls or search parameters:

• startUrls (array, optional) - CarGurus search URLs. Detail URLs are skipped because complete listing data is extracted from search results. The actor detects the country domain (cargurus.com, cargurus.ca, or cargurus.co.uk).
• zipcode (string, optional) - Zip code or postal code to search in. Required when startUrls is not provided
• country (string, optional) - CarGurus domain to scrape. Use US for cargurus.com, CA for cargurus.ca, or UK for cargurus.co.uk. Defaults to US
• make (string, optional) - Vehicle make to search for. Required when startUrls is not provided
• model (string, optional) - Vehicle model to search for
• condition (string, optional) - Car type (used or new). Defaults to used. This selector is only used for cargurus.com and cargurus.ca; the UK site does not use this input
• maxItems (integer, required) - Maximum number of listings to scrape

Note: startUrls only supports CarGurus search/listing URLs. Detail listing URLs will be skipped.

Note: For startUrls on cargurus.com and cargurus.ca, the actor keeps the original search variation. If the URL contains srpVariation=NEW_CAR_SEARCH, it will be preserved when the URL is converted for scraping.

Start URLs example:

{
"startUrls":[
{
"url":"https://www.cargurus.ca/search?sourceContext=carGurusHomePageModel&zip=M5V+3L9&makeModelTrimPaths=m7&distance=50&nonShippableBaseline=5335&sortDirection=ASC&sortType=PRICE"
