Autohero Car Search API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/autohero/search?country=DE&brand=BMW&sort=lowest_price&limit=2

Search used cars on Autohero in DE, AT, FR, ES, IT, PL, BE or NL. Filter by brand, model, price, maximum mileage and minimum first registration year, sort by price, mileage, brand or newest, and page with offset and limit. Each car has id, stock number, brand, model, variant, first registration year, price with currency and optional monthly payment, mileage, power, engine size, CO2, accident and damage counts, drive train, main image, public url and publish date (ISO 8601, UTC). Brand and model values are case-sensitive, for example BMW, Volkswagen or Honda. The upstream search shows at most 10000 results. A valid search without matches is a successful response with an empty cars list.
