Frequently asked questions

No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Motors.co.uk. The API returns structured JSON from current public listings through a Scrappa API key.

Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. After that, each request costs one credit, which works out to $0.20 to $0.30 per 1,000 requests depending on the credit pack or plan. Failed requests are never charged.

Use the 1-based page parameter with page_size up to 50. The response returns the total and has_more, which is true while more pages exist. A valid search with no matches is a successful response with an empty results list.

The search endpoint needs a UK postcode and a radius in miles (default 50). The dealer endpoint covers the whole UK by default and uses the postcode only for the distance.
