Automotive Data Scraping Services

No, and no scraping vendor can. Transacted prices are not publicly published, and a listing disappearing does not prove a sale — it can equally mean withdrawn unsold, moved to auction, or moved to another platform.

We report sold_or_withdrawn and refuse to assert a sale. If your model requires transacted data, the routes are auction data licences, dealer management system partnerships or registration-linked datasets. All are licensed, and we will point you there rather than sell you a proxy presented as the real thing.

Relists are detected and linked, so days_on_lot continues from the original first-seen date rather than restarting. Matching uses specification, mileage, dealer and image fingerprinting — mileage is especially strong, since a relisted vehicle carries near-identical mileage.

This is the field most clients build their analysis on, and without relist linking it is actively misleading: ageing stock appears fresh, which removes exactly the signal you bought the data for.

Around 96% to a normalised trim taxonomy, with a confidence score on every listing. Fuel type and transmission are treated as hard constraints rather than soft signals.

Trim matters enormously here — the same model across two trim levels can differ 20% in value — and listings describe it inconsistently with abbreviations and optional packs folded into titles. Below your chosen confidence threshold, records arrive flagged rather than force-matched.

Yes, as first-class fields rather than description text: battery capacity in kWh, quoted WLTP or EPA range, charging speed where published, and battery health or state-of-health claims where a listing includes them.

In electric vehicles these fields drive price more than trim does, so leaving them in free text makes the dataset far less useful. Where a listing does not publish them, the field is null rather than estimated from the model name.

Yes, and dealer sites are often more valuable because stock appears there before or instead of marketplace syndication, and finance offers are usually published there.

They are also considerably more work: thousands of individual sites on many different platforms. We scope dealer coverage separately from marketplace coverage and prioritise the dealer groups that matter to you, rather than attempting exhaustive coverage that would inflate cost for marginal benefit.

Only where a source publishes them openly, which some markets and platforms do. We do not query registration or lookup services to enrich listings, because those carry their own terms and frequently link to keeper or owner personal data.

Where VINs are absent, our listing identity is built from specification, mileage, dealer and image fingerprinting, which is sufficient for relist linking and comparable matching in practice.

Yes, including manufacturer list prices by trim, option and pack pricing, and published finance representative examples. Configurator collection is technically awkward because options are interdependent and pricing changes as selections are made.

We collect the published price structure rather than attempting to enumerate every possible configuration, which would produce combinatorial volume for little analytical gain. Where a manufacturer publishes campaign discounts, those are captured as separate fields with dates.

We collect the vehicle and pricing data, and we do not collect private seller names, phone numbers or contact details. Those are personal data belonging to individuals rather than business information.

Private listings are useful for market analysis because they price differently from dealer stock, so excluding them entirely would distort segment pricing. Dealer versus private classification is delivered as a field so you can separate them in analysis.

We quote individually. The drivers are market count, whether dealer site coverage is needed alongside marketplaces, listing volume, and refresh frequency — plus whether lifecycle tracking with history reconstruction is required, since that needs continuous coverage of the same listing population.

A defined market and segment across major marketplaces at daily refresh sits at the lighter end. Multi-market coverage including thousands of dealer sites with sub-daily new-listing alerting sits higher.
