Why this one

Use cases

• Compare used-car prices across nine European countries in one schema.
• Price used stock against every comparable Autohero car in a market.
• Analyse car finance offers: monthly payment, term, down payment and financed price.
• Value a specific car from its VIN, equipment, damages with photos and service history.
• Track the used EV market through battery capacity, electric range and charging data.
• Map Autohero's footprint: every branch and pickup centre with its stock count.

Input

Every field has a default, and the defaults are deliberately small so a first run is cheap enough to inspect before you commit to a sweep. This table mirrors the Actor's own input schema field for field.

Output and fill rates

A field being in the schema is not the same as it having a value. The percentages below were counted on real runs; the sample sizes are in Measurements. Anything not listed here is not promised.

Every key is always present. A field that exists but is empty comes back as explicit null, so a parser never has to guess.

Datasets

Different record types go to different datasets, so the main table never carries columns that are blank on most rows.

Pricing

Pay per delivered result. Charges are applied as each row is produced rather than in a lump at the end, so an aborted run bills only for what it actually gave you.

Measurements

Each figure is shown with the method that produced it. A benchmark without a method is a marketing claim wearing a number's clothes.

What it will not do

Stated plainly so you can judge fit before spending anything.

• Only Autohero's own stock is covered — about 21,500 cars on 1 October 2026 — which is a retailer's inventory, not a whole national market.
• Detail texts (body type, colour, equipment, damages) come in the country's own language; codes are mapped to English labels with the raw code alongside.
• `previous_price` and `price_drop` exist only on cars reduced since listing: 6.0% of 1,642 measured.
• A partial model name such as `Golf` matches nothing; the model must be written as Autohero writes it, e.g. `Golf VII`.
• `maxItems` is capped at 25,000 per run.
• The Autohero Scraper does not filter by robots.txt. On 10 October 2026 the file's catch-all group disallowed six account, inspection and checkout paths, none of which is the catalogue the Actor reads.

Privacy

• Every car measured was sold by Autohero itself: the private-seller share was 0% across 360 detail pages from nine countries and 1,800 listings.
• The only phone number delivered is a branch's company line, in branches mode.
• VINs and licence plates belong to a company's stock vehicle published by that company. `license_plate` is filled on 45.7% of detail rows.
• `includePrivateSellerContact` (off by default) changes nothing today; it exists so that private sellers' contact data stays out if the site ever lists any.
• Removal requests: privacy@actorstack.dev
