FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this scraper extract 17-character VINs and odometer mileage?
Yes. Every vehicle record includes parsed VIN, model year, make/model, odometer miles, title status (clean, salvage, rebuilt), transmission, fuel type, drive train, and cylinders.
Q: Can I filter for private-party owners only (FSBO cars)?
Yes. Set purveyor to 'owner' to exclude commercial dealerships and source private-party vehicles directly from owners.
Q: Can I filter by minimum/maximum price, model year, and mileage?
Yes. Configure minPrice, maxPrice, minYear, maxYear, minMiles, maxMiles, autoTransmission, and cleanTitleOnly across one or multiple Craigslist cities.
Q: Can I paste a browser search URL directly?
Yes. Paste any Craigslist cars/trucks search URL into searchUrl or startUrls and the Actor automatically extracts the city subdomain, query, and automotive filters.
