Carvana Vehicle Search Scraper

Overview

This actor automates data extraction from Carvana's search results pages. It's built for developers, analysts, and businesses who need structured access to Carvana's vehicle inventory for market research, pricing analysis, or competitive intelligence. It handles Carvana's single-page application structure and works with their existing search filters.

Key Features

• Extracts over 40 data fields per vehicle, including specifications, pricing, availability, and logistics details.
• Processes multiple pages of search results with configurable limits.
• Captures multiple image URLs (hero shots, interior, details).
• Integrates with Carvana's filter system (make, model, year, price, mileage, etc.).
• Uses proxy configuration and retry logic for reliable operation.

How to Use

Configure the actor using a JSON input. The primary method is to provide one or more Carvana search URLs. You can generate these URLs by applying filters on Carvana.com and copying the resulting address from your browser.

Alternatively, you can construct a search using individual parameters like make, model, year, price, and mileage directly in the input.
