Scrape used auto parts inventory from North America's largest recycler marketplace network. Extract structured listings: part name, donor year / make / model, asking price, core charge, ARA part grade, stock number, mileage, supplier name and website, distance from ZIP, live-chat flag, and part photos.

Search one year + make/model + part, a year range, several parts on the same vehicle, or paste existing search.cgi result URLs. Handles interchange refine pages, multi-page results, and US residential proxy defaults for Cloudflare.

Best for: used-parts price intelligence, salvage / recycler sourcing, body-shop inventory checks, core-charge research, and ZIP-distance supplier shortlists.

When to use this Actor

• Parts price benchmarking — Compare recycler asking prices for engines, transmissions, body panels, lighting, and electronics by vehicle year and model.
• Whole-vehicle pricing — Send queries with several parts (engine, transmission, hood, headlight) and get one dataset. maxItems caps the run.
• Local sourcing — Sort by distance from a buyer ZIP. Turn on includePhones and includeEmails to add yard phone and email.
• Interchange-aware searches — Take the first option, match a trim/VIN label, or walk interchange choices (at most 8 branches; a nested page uses only its first child).
• Exact browser searches — Paste a search.cgi URL to resume a filtered results set without re-entering the form.

Data pipeline

Input                         Flow                            Output
─────────────────────        ─────────────────────           ──────────────────────────
year + makeModel + part  ──► catalog resolve + form POST ──► interchange (optional)
queries (many parts)     ──► one search per part         ──► shared maxItems cap
startUrls (search.cgi)   ──► paginate results pages      ──► quoteForm + table parse
ZIP + sort + year range  ──► US residential HTTP         ──► price, grade, yard, images

Key Features

• Catalog resolution — Fuzzy-matches make/model and part names against the live dropdown catalog (1,600+ models, 700+ part types). Prefer exact labels like Engine or Headlight Assembly.
• Structured quote fields — Reads quoteForm.cgi parameters (stock, price, seller id) for reliable records.
• ARA grade & core charge — Captures part grade and core / exchange fees when shown.
• Supplier — Name, website, city / state / country, live chat flag. Phone and email are added only when includePhones / includeEmails are on.
• Year range — Optional yearTo is sent as Car-Part's end year. Empty means the single start year.
• Several parts — queries runs engine, transmission, and body parts in one Actor run. A filled list ignores the single year / make / part fields.
• Images — CDN photo URLs when recyclers upload pictures.
• US residential proxy default — Required for stable access to search.cgi behind Cloudflare.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includePhones	Boolean	false	Add phone, mobile, WhatsApp, or fax already published on the page.
includeEmails	Boolean	false	Add email already published on the page.
startUrls	Array	[]	Car-Part search.cgi result URLs. Skips the form when set.
year	Integer	—	Vehicle year (required for a single-part search).
yearTo	Integer	—	Optional end year. Empty searches only year. Applies to every queries row.
makeModel	String	—	Catalog make/model, e.g. Toyota Camry. Ignored when queries has rows.
part	String	—	Catalog part name, e.g. Engine. Ignored when queries has rows.
queries	Array	[]	Several {year, makeModel, part} rows for one vehicle.
userZip	String	—	ZIP / postal code for distance sorting.
userLocation	String	USA	All States / USA / Canada / Mexico.
sortBy	String	price	price, zip, grade, year, condition.
interchangeMode	String	first	first, match, or all. all stops after 8 branches.
interchangeQuery	String	—	Substring for match mode (e.g. 2.5L).
vin	String	—	Optional VIN passed through to Car-Part Smart VIN search.
maxItems	Integer	100	Max listings for the whole run (0 = unlimited).
maxPages	Integer	20	Max result pages per search / interchange branch.
concurrency	Integer	1	Parallel page fetches (1–5).
softDeadlineSecs	Integer	0	Stop early and return partial results. 0 uses 720s. The default run timeout is 300s, so for large searches raise the run timeout or set this below it.
proxyConfiguration	Object	US RESIDENTIAL	Apify Proxy — US residential required.
monitorMode	Boolean	false	Scheduled delta mode: only new listings and price drops.
monitorStoreName	String	car-part-monitor	Named KV store for fingerprints between runs.
resetMonitorState	Boolean	false	Clear monitor state; next run is a new baseline.

Monitor new parts and price drops

Turn on monitorMode when you run this Actor on an Apify Schedule (for example hourly or daily) with the same search input. The first run saves a baseline of every listing it scans and still returns rows up to maxItems. Later runs scan the full result set (bounded by maxPages) but emit and charge only new listings and price drops — unchanged rows update internal state only.

Use a dedicated monitorStoreName per watch (for example camry-engine-90210) so parallel schedules do not overwrite each other. Set resetMonitorState to true when you change the search or want to rebuild the baseline.

{
  "year": 2019,
  "makeModel": "Toyota Camry",
  "part": "Engine",
  "userZip": "90210",
  "monitorMode": true,
  "monitorStoreName": "camry-engine-90210",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "maxPages": 20
}

Tip: pair monitor mode with an Apify Schedule on this Actor so you get a steady feed of new inventory and lower prices without re-downloading the whole market every time.

Input example — form search

{

  "makeModel": "Toyota Camry",
  "part": "Engine",
  "userZip": "90210",
  "userLocation": "USA",

  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}

Input example — several parts on one vehicle

{
  "yearTo": 2019,
  "userZip": "90210",
  "userLocation": "USA",
  "sortBy": "price",
  "interchangeMode": "first",
  "maxItems": 80,
  "queries": [

  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,

Notes

• Proxy: Datacenter IPs typically receive Cloudflare 403 on cgi-bin/search.cgi. Keep US residential enabled.
• Exact catalog names: Prefer exact part labels (Engine, not a free-text synonym). The Actor fuzzy-matches, but exact values are more reliable.
• Interchange all: At most 8 branches per search. A nested interchange page keeps only its first child. Pair with a tight maxItems / maxPages.
• queries: One bad catalog name is skipped. If every row fails, the run finishes with 0 listings and the first catalog error.

Use cases

Use case	What you get
Parts price benchmarking	Recycler asking prices by year / make / model / part
Local sourcing	ZIP distance + supplier name / website. Phone and email only with includePhones / includeEmails.
Whole vehicle	Several parts in queries, one dataset, one maxItems cap
Interchange coverage	First option, a text match, or up to 8 branches. Nested pages keep the first child.
Salvage / body-shop ops	ARA grade, stock #, core charge, photos
AI / MCP workflows	Run via Apify API, clients, or MCP and summarize part offers
