Navratri Mega Sale Price Tracking

About the Client

Location: Lafayette, United States

Industry: Automotive Data & Analytics

Objective: Automate the collection of carrying capacity specifications—including GVWR, payload, curb weight, length, and wheelbase—for over 4,500 vehicle trims across model years 2016, 2018, and 2020.

The client provided an Excel workbook listing all vehicles and trims but with many missing data points. Most values could be found on Edmunds, Cars.com, CarMax, and manufacturer sites—but doing this manually would take weeks. They needed an automated web scraping solution capable of extracting and normalizing this data efficiently and accurately.

Project Goals

Actowiz Solutions was tasked to:

  • Scrape missing vehicle data for all trims listed in the Excel workbook (2016, 2018, 2020).
  • Collect the following parameters:
    • Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
    • Payload
    • Curb Weight
    • Vehicle Length
    • Wheelbase
    • Data Source (URL)
  • Merge results with the client's existing dataset and ensure clean, structured outputs in .csv format.
  • Complete the project within 20–30 hours with validation, deduplication, and compliance controls.

Key Challenges

Variation in Terminology

Websites use different labels like Gross Weight, GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating — often meaning the same value but presented differently.

Trim-Level Complexity

Over 4,500 entries included multiple trims per model. Many trims share identical specifications, but trucks and vans vary significantly by configuration.

Multi-Source Requirement

While Edmunds covers most data, smaller cars or discontinued trims required lookups from Cars.com, CarMax, or OEM (manufacturer) websites.

Consistency & Validation

The scraper needed to ensure that:

GVWR = Curb Weight + Payload

where possible, and flag mismatches or missing pairs for review.

Actowiz Solutions' Approach

1. Data Discovery & Source Mapping

We began by mapping all major automotive data sources:

Source Coverage Format Scraping Tool
Edmunds.com 2010–2024 models HTML / JSON API BeautifulSoup + Scrapy
Cars.com Dealer listings + specs Dynamic (JS) Selenium
CarMax.com Used inventory + trim specs JS-heavy Puppeteer (Node.js)
Manufacturer Sites Missing trims Static pages Requests + XPath
2. Automation Framework

We deployed a Python-based modular web scraping framework with the following stack:

  • Scrapy + Selenium hybrid for structured crawling.
  • BeautifulSoup for static HTML parsing.
  • Pandas for data normalization and deduplication.
  • Regex rules to identify variants of weight/size terms.
  • Headless browser rotation via ChromeDriver for dynamic sites.
3. Extraction Logic

Each record in the Excel sheet contained:

  • Make
  • Model
  • Trim
  • Year

The scraper performed a targeted search (example: "2018 Ford F-150 XLT site:edmunds.com") and parsed tables containing:

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: 6,850 lbs
Curb Weight: 4,780 lbs
Payload: 2,070 lbs
Wheelbase: 145 inches
Vehicle Length: 231 inches

When any value was missing, fallback logic fetched data from secondary sources.

4. Data Normalization Rules

To ensure accuracy:

  • Numeric standardization: All weights converted to pounds (lbs); lengths and wheelbases converted to inches.
  • Text parsing: Extracted numeric values using regex patterns ([0-9,]+).
  • Deduplication: Identical trims' data reused where specifications matched 100%.
  • Derived values: If two of three (GVWR, Curb Weight, Payload) were found, the missing one was calculated automatically.
5. Data Validation & Cross-Verification

Actowiz Solutions implemented a multi-step validation:

  • Cross-source check: Compare Edmunds vs Cars.com data within ±1% tolerance.
  • Formula validation: GVWR ≈ Curb + PayloadGVWR \approx Curb + PayloadGVWR≈Curb+Payload
  • Manual QA sample: Random 100-record check for unit consistency.
  • Completeness audit: Ensure every row had at least two weight values and dimensions.
6. Output & Delivery
Navratri Mega Sale Price Tracking

Final data was exported in .csv format with the following schema:

Year Make Model Trim GVWR (lbs) Payload (lbs) Curb Weight (lbs) Length (in) Wheelbase (in) Source URL
2018 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 6,850 2,070 4,780 231 145 www.edmunds.com
2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road 5,600 1,175 4,425 212 127 www.cars.com
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 7,100 2,030 5,070 230 143.5 www.carmax.com
2018 Ram 2500 Tradesman 4x2 9,000 3,060 5,940 237 149 www.edmunds.com
2020 Honda Civic EX Sedan 3,900 930 2,970 182 107 www.edmunds.com

Additionally:

  • Unique vehicles processed: 4,593
  • Data completeness: 97.2%
  • Duplicates removed: 312
  • Missing-only entries flagged: 128 for manual follow-up
Chart: GVWR Distribution by Vehicle Type (Sample Visualization)

Vehicle Type Avg GVWR (lbs)
Sedan 4,000
SUV 5,500
Pickup Truck 7,800
Van 8,600
Compact 3,200

(Insert bar chart visualizing these averages — color-coded by vehicle category.)

Observation:

Pickups and Vans dominate the upper GVWR spectrum (7,500–9,000 lbs), while sedans and compacts cluster between 3,000–4,500 lbs.

  • Payload ranges by brand and trim.
  • Correlation between vehicle length and GVWR.
  • Segment-level distribution of curb weight.
Insights Generated (Illustrative Analytics)
