Carzone Car Scraper (Ireland)

What this Actor scrapes

Carzone.ie is Ireland's leading car marketplace, listing tens of thousands of used cars — with no public API. This Actor scrapes the public used-car search: filter by free-text query, make, or paste a full Carzone search URL, and (optionally) enrich each listing from its detail page with mileage, transmission, engine power and size, body type, colour, county and whether the seller is a dealer or a private person. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation and Apify residential proxy rotation.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per page, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.

Use cases

• Used-car price analytics — track EUR price vs mileage and year across the Irish market.
• Dealer-inventory monitoring — filter by <code>seller_type = dealer</code> and watch a competitor's stock turnover.
• EV + hybrid market tracking — query electric and hybrid models and chart Ireland's fast-moving used-EV pricing.
• Lead generation — build a directory of dealers and private sellers by make, county, and price band.
• Arbitrage + sourcing — spot under-priced listings the moment they appear with a daily diff.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.
