Autotrader Canada Per-Result Scraper: Precise Vehicle Data Extraction

The Autotrader Canada Per-Result Scraper is a precision-focused Apify actor for extracting vehicle listings from Autotrader.ca. Unlike bulk actors, this one uses pay-per-result pricing at $0.001 per listing, giving you granular cost control — pay only for exactly what you scrape.

With 2,951 total runs and 44 users, this actor is the preferred choice for teams that need predictable extraction costs and clean, structured vehicle records with the raw embedded JSON preserved for custom processing.

What Data Does This Actor Extract?

• Vehicle identity — Make, model, year, trim level, and internal listing ID
• Pricing — Formatted price string ("$24,995") and numeric value (24995) in CAD
• Mileage — Formatted ("45,200 km") and numeric (45200) values
• Specifications — Transmission, drivetrain, body type, fuel type, door count
• Location — City, province, postal code area
• Seller — Dealer or private seller name and contact page URL
• Images — Complete photo gallery URLs
• Raw JSON — Full embedded page JSON for downstream parsing flexibility
• Listing URL — Direct link to the original Autotrader.ca listing

How Is This Different from the Main Autotrader Canada Actor?

Both actors extract similar vehicle data from Autotrader.ca, but they differ in approach:

• This actor processes listings page-by-page with explicit per-result charging, making it ideal for predictable billing
• The raw JSON field is preserved in full, allowing advanced teams to extract additional fields without re-scraping
• Slightly lower user volume means it may have fewer edge-case patches — suitable for standard Autotrader search pages

1. Visit the actor on Apify Store
2. Paste your Autotrader.ca search URL (with any filters applied)
3. Set the result limit if you want a capped run
4. Hit Start — your dataset is ready in minutes
