}What you can build
Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.
Used Car Price Comparison
Compare asking prices for the same make, model and year across Cars.com, Carvana, CarGurus and eBay Motors in one request, with numeric USD prices and mileage.
Deal Finders and Alerts
Filter by price, year, mileage, drive and fuel, sort by price or distance, and alert users when a new listing matches their saved search.
Local Inventory Monitoring
Track how many cars of a model are for sale within a radius of a ZIP code and watch the price history of single listings.
VIN Sourcing
Collect VINs together with trim, seller type and title status to feed valuation, history report and lead tools.
AutoTempest scraper API
AutoTempest API for used car search across US marketplaces
The AutoTempest API is built for car search features, price tools and dealer research. Each listing carries a stable id, source, title, year, make, model, trim, numeric USD price, mileage, VIN, location, distance in miles, seller type, listing date, a clean listing URL and an image. The data.sources block shows how many rows each marketplace returned.
Search Cars.com, Carvana, CarGurus, eBay Motors, Hemmings, TrueCar and Cars & Bids in one call.
Filter by price, year, mileage, drive, fuel and body style, and sort ten ways.
Page through every source with one opaque next_cursor value.
Read the make and model catalog to build valid queries.
Seller phone numbers and affiliate tracking parameters are never returned.
Choose the right AutoTempest API endpoint
Use Makes and Models to build the query
Read the make slug list, then the models of one make with their production years, and pass both slugs to search.
Open AutoTempest Models API docsUse Search for market coverage
Combine make, model, ZIP code and radius with filters and a sort order. Follow next_cursor until it is absent to read every source to its end.

Frequently asked questions
No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by AutoTempest. AutoTempest has no public API; Scrappa returns structured JSON from its public search results.
Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. After that each successful request costs one credit. Failed requests are never charged.
Each page returns the rows of every source that still has more. Pass data.next_cursor as cursor to get the next page. When next_cursor is absent, every source is done.
Not as a separate endpoint. Every field of a listing is already in its search row, including the clean listing URL to the source marketplace.
