Truecar.com Scraper

What it does

Paste one or more TrueCar search/listing URLs and this actor automatically paginates through results using the site’s own Next button (no fragile URL hacks). It handles lazy-loaded cards by auto-scrolling, extracts each listing into flat, export-friendly columns, and (optionally) opens each car’s detail page to enrich data with market average price, condition history, and full specs. It also calculates an estimated profit signal using price vs averagePrice.

Key data fields

• VIN
• Price
• Mileage
• Year / Make / Model / Trim
• Vehicle condition

How to use

1. Open TrueCar and apply any filters (make/model, year, price range, mileage, location, etc.).
2. Copy the results page URL and add it to startUrls.
3. Choose Scrape Mode: DETAILS (recommended) or a faster list mode if you only need basic fields.
4. Set maxItems to control run size, enable proxy if scraping at scale, then run and export JSON/CSV.
