Monitor a Filtered AutoScout24 Search for New Listings

Save a filtered search URL and re-run it on a schedule — new listings surface as diffable rows instead of daily tab-checking.

Your exact filter, re-run daily, with the diff done for you. Thirdwatch's AutoScout24 Scraper returns AutoScout24 listings as structured rows — price, mileage, registration, powertrain, and seller data — for any keyword or filtered search URL.

Skip the setup: Run this as a ready-to-go task on Apify — pre-loaded with the configuration from this guide.

Why monitor a filtered search

Hunting a specific spec — right engine, right price band, right year — means re-checking the same filtered search every day. The URL already encodes the filter; what's missing is a pull on a schedule.

Paste the filtered URL into searchUrls and schedule the task; listingId diffs show what arrived and what sold.

The scraper extracts the listing data directly from the search surface, so a keyword or filtered URL in means structured listing rows out.

Why this Actor

  • Full spec fields per listing: price, mileage, first registration, fuel, gearbox, engine cc, power.
  • Seller data on every row — dealer vs private, seller name, seller page.
  • Two input modes: free-text queries or exact filtered searchUrls.
  • European coverage — AutoScout24 operates across the EU.
  • Condition and damage flags included for risk screening.

How to do it in 3 steps

Step 1: Configure the input

Set the inputs as shown below — queries takes the targets, free-text searches work, or paste a full searchUrls entry with your own filters applied.

Step 2: Run the Actor

Run it from the console, the API, or the linked saved task. One dataset row is written per listing.

Step 3: Use the output

Each row carries price, mileage, first registration, fuel, gearbox, power, seller details, and the listing URL.

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.autoscout24.de/lst/bmw/3er?sort=age&desc=0"
  ],
  "maxResults": 40,
  "proxyCountry": "DE"
}

Each dataset row looks like:

{
  "listingId": "12345678",
  "title": "Audi A4 Avant 40 TDI S line",
  "url": "https://www.autoscout24.de/angebote/...",
  "price": 32990,
  "priceFormatted": "\u20ac 32.990,-",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "mileage": 45000,
  "firstRegistration": "03/2021",
  "fuel": "Diesel",
  "gearbox": "Automatic",
  "power": 150,
  "sellerType": "Dealer",
  "sellerName": "Autohaus Beispiel",
  "location": "Berlin"
}

What to watch for

Listings reflect the live search index — sold vehicles linger briefly. For dealer-level monitoring, diff listingId across scheduled runs rather than trusting a single snapshot.

Frequently asked questions

What fields come back per listing?

Title, price (raw and formatted), mileage, first registration, fuel, gearbox, engine cc, power, condition, damage flag, seller name/type/page, location, image and listing URL.

Can I search with specific filters?

Yes — build the filtered URL on autoscout24 (make, model, price, fuel, year) and paste it into `searchUrls`.

Which countries does it cover?

AutoScout24's European footprint — the proxy country defaults to Germany; set `proxyCountry` to match your market.

How fresh is the data?

Rows reflect live search results at run time — sold listings can linger briefly, so treat `url` liveness as the freshness check.

Is there a result cap?

`maxResults` bounds the total; each search page returns ~20 listings and the Actor paginates.

Can I monitor a search over time?

Yes — save the task and attach a schedule; diff the `listingId` sets between runs to see new and sold listings.
