Autotrader US Data Scraping

A valuation on a listing from a sister company is still a valuation from someone. The relationship belongs in the record.

Autotrader US data scraping covers new and used listings on autotrader.com, owned by Cox Automotive. Cox also owns Kelley Blue Book, and the two share leadership while remaining separate brands. Where a listing shows a Kelley Blue Book valuation or price badge, it is recorded as KBB's claim, with the common ownership noted. Private sellers' personal details are never collected, number plates are not collected from private listings, and a listing that disappears is not recorded as a sale.

When the marketplace and the valuation service share an owner, attribution is not pedantry. It is disclosure.

AutoTrader US at a glance

How we handle AutoTrader US specifically

Platform-specific handling, not a generic retail template pointed at a different domain.

Marketplace: Autotrader.com — Cox Automotive
Sister brand: Kelley Blue Book, same owner
Valuations shown: KBB's claim, affiliation noted
Listers: Dealers and private sellers
New cars: MSRP and dealer price, both recorded
Deals and leases: Published offers as terms
Comparison: Within mileage and age bands
Refresh: Daily

Platform specifics

A sister company's valuation

These are the reasons a AutoTrader US dataset needs its own handling rather than a shared retail schema.

Attributed, with the relationship

Kelley Blue Book and Autotrader are both Cox Automotive brands, with common leadership since 2015. KBB valuation information may appear beside Autotrader listings.

valuation_displayed and badge recorded as shown, with valuation_source: kelley_blue_book.
source_affiliation: same_owner recorded, so the relationship is visible in the data.
Valuation ranges recorded as ranges, never collapsed to a point.
Our comparisons use bands and are labelled as ours.

New cars, leases and what we do not do

New cars and deals

New-car MSRP and dealer prices are recorded with their sources, as on our Cars.com page. Published deals and leases are terms.

Compared properly

Listings are compared within mileage and age bands, dealer and private kept apart, as on our mobile.de page.

What we do not do

Present KBB values as neutral or as ours, collapse ranges, collect private sellers' details, or record disappearance as a sale.

Scope

What we collect on AutoTrader US, and what we do not

The right column matters more than the left. Anyone can list fields; the limits are what tell you whether the dataset will hold up.

source_affiliation: same_owner
Valuation ranges kept as ranges
MSRP and dealer price for new cars

How we engage

Three ways to engage us

Same collection pipeline and QA underneath. The difference is who holds the schedule and how the data reaches you.

Managed service (most common)

We own the collection, the QA and the delivery. You receive clean data on a schedule and never touch a scraper.

Dedicated engineer assigned to your account
Site changes fixed by us, not reported to you
Scheduled delivery to your warehouse or S3
Named contact on Slack or email

Best fit: Teams who need the data, not the infrastructure.

API access

The same collection pipeline exposed as an authenticated REST endpoint your systems query directly.

On-demand and scheduled endpoints
Rate limits agreed to your load profile
Sandbox keys for integration testing
Versioned schema with deprecation notice

Best fit: Product and engineering teams building on live data.

One-time or project extraction

A defined pull for a specific question — market sizing, diligence, a pitch, a one-off audit.

Fixed scope agreed in writing upfront
Single delivery with full QA report
Methodology documented for your records
Converts to managed if you want continuity

Best fit: Research, strategy and diligence work with a deadline.

Pricing

Every engagement is quoted individually, because the honest answer depends on your scope: how many sources, how many records, how often, and how the data reaches you. We scope it with you, run a free pilot on your own sources, and then quote a fixed monthly figure — no per-request metering and no overage billing when volumes move. Request a quote and you will have a number after one call.

AutoTrader US is usually collected alongside its competitors

Almost nobody buys a single platform in isolation. AutoTrader US data becomes useful when it sits next to the competitor set on one schema, refreshed on one schedule, so a price index or availability comparison is genuinely like-for-like.

That is what automotive data covers, and a AutoTrader US-only engagement can be expanded into it without rebuilding. If you already know you need several platforms, start there instead — it is the same pipeline and usually the better scoping conversation.
