AutoTempest Scraper

🚗 AutoTempest Scraper

Extract used car listings from AutoTempest, the search engine that covers the big US car marketplaces at once: Cars.com, eBay Motors, Carvana, TrueCar, CarsDirect, CarGurus, Autotrader, Cars & Bids, Hemmings, PrivateAuto and more. One run searches all of them, nationwide or around a ZIP code, and gives you one clean table.

Each car comes with:

• VIN, year, make, model, trim, price, mileage and title status (clean, salvage, rebuilt, lemon).
• Seller type (dealer or private), dealer name, city, state, ZIP and distance from your ZIP.
• Price history: first price, price change in $ and %, and whether the price dropped.
• Date listed, first seen and days on market.
• Auction data: current bid, number of bids and when the auction ends.
• Source marketplace, description, photo and the link to the original listing.

👉 Try it now: press Start. The ready-made input gives you 10 car saveds in a few seconds.
💰 $0.022 per car saved on the Free plan (10 car saveds per run), from $0.02 on paid plans. See pricing

✨ Why this scraper?

• Fast
  About 1,000 cars in 10 seconds, all sources at once.

• Complete
  No page limit: leave the maximum empty and it collects the whole search, every source to the end.

• Mixed sources
  Even a small run returns cars from every marketplace, not just the first one.

• Ready to analyse
  

  • Prices, mileage, bids and distance are numbers. Dates are ISO. - Price history comes as a list, plus first price, change and change % already calculated. - Tracking junk is stripped from links.

• No proxy needed
  Nothing extra to set up or pay for.

• Type the car
  "Toyota Camry", "Ford F-150", "Porsche 911", "Land Rover Defender" or just "BMW". Several in one run, each its own search. Words after the model ("Honda Civic Type R") narrow the search.

• Apify platform
  Schedule runs, get only new car saveds, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

Is there an AutoTempest API? Do I need an API key?

AutoTempest has no public data API for this. This Actor works as an AutoTempest API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP: claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/autotempest-scraper"

Why do I get only 10 car saveds?

On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

"No such make" in the log

Start each vehicle with the make, as AutoTempest spells it: "Mercedes-Benz C-Class", "Land Rover Range Rover", "Ram 1500".

The radius was ignored

A radius or statewide search needs a ZIP code. Without one the run searches nationwide and says so in the log.

Is this an official AutoTempest tool?

No. It is independent and not affiliated with AutoTempest. It reads only data AutoTempest publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with AutoTempest's terms and the laws that apply to you.
