AutoScout24.ch Scraper (PPE)

Overview

This actor scrapes vehicle listings from the Swiss marketplace AutoScout24.ch. It extracts detailed data from search results, which you can export in formats like JSON, CSV, or Excel. This is the Pay-per-event version; a fixed-price monthly rental is also available at AutoScout24.ch Scraper (Rental).

Key Features

• Search-Based Scraping: Uses search URLs from AutoScout24.ch as input.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Works for all vehicle types (cars, campers, trucks, trailers, etc.).
• Result Control: Allows you to limit the number of listings scraped per search.
• Flexible Export: Outputs data in multiple formats supported by Apify (JSON, CSV, Excel, etc.).
• Swiss Market Focus: The primary scraper for the Swiss AutoScout24 platform on Apify.

Extracted Data

The scraper collects a wide range of details for each vehicle listing, including:
* Core Info: Title, description, price, vehicle type, brand, model, model version.
* Media & Links: Main image URL, individual listing URL.
* Specifications: Key attributes, equipment list.
* Dealer Info: Seller/Dealer information and contact details.
* Metadata: Listing dates and other relevant fields.

How to Use

1. Go to AutoScout24.ch and configure your search (e.g., filters for model, price, location).
2. Execute the search to reach the results page.
3. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar.
4. Paste this URL into the actor's Start URL(s) input field.
5. Run the actor.

Example Search URLs

https://www.autoscout24.ch/de/s/mo-320/mk-bmw?sort%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=RELEVANCE&sort%5B0%5D%5Border%5D=DESC
https://www.autoscout24.ch/de/s/mk-adria/vc-camper

Input Configuration

Input is provided via JSON. The main parameters are:

• startUrls: (Required) An array of one or more AutoScout24.ch search result URLs.
• resultLimitPerUrl: Sets a maximum number of listings to scrape for each provided URL.
• disableAutomaticPaging: By default, the actor paginates through all results. Set this to true to scrape only the first page of each search.

Example Input

{
  "resultLimitPerUrl": 250,
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.autoscout24.ch/de/s/mo-320/mk-bmw?sort%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=RELEVANCE&sort%5B0%5D%5Border%5D=DESC",
    "https://www.autoscout24.ch/de/s/mk-adria/vc-camper"
  ]
}

This configuration would scrape up to 250 listings from each of the two URLs.

The actor outputs an array of items, where each item represents one vehicle listing. The dataset is available in the Apify platform in various formats (JSON, CSV, Excel, etc.).
