PakWheels Scraper — Pakistan Used Cars, Prices & Dealers

What it does

Extracts used-car listings from PakWheels.com, Pakistan's largest car marketplace, with the price in PKR parsed from the site's lakh and crore text, plus the PakWheels inspection score where a car has one. A second mode exports the dealer directory with business phone, address and rating.

Why this one

Use cases

• Price dealer or import stock against every comparable ad in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad or another city.
• Track Pakistani used-car prices by make, model, year and city over time.
• Estimate residual values by model year and mileage for lending, insurance or leasing.
• Build a list of Pakistani car showrooms with business phone and address from the dealer directory.

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.

• Seller phone numbers on ads are never collected: PakWheels serves them only to signed-in users (the endpoint answers 401 without a session).
• A single search pages until the site stops returning new ads; for the whole country, split by city or make.
• `inspection_rating` exists only on cars PakWheels inspected: 8.0% of the 1,279-listing sample.
• PakWheels' robots.txt (checked 10 October 2026) disallows `/*?*sortby=*`. Any `sortBy` other than `newest` sends `sortby=`, and the PakWheels Scraper does not filter by robots.txt.
• `maxItems` is capped at 100,000 per run.

Privacy

• Private individuals posted about 87% of 84,486 ads measured on 23 September 2026 (84% of the 1,279 measured rows). Their names are withheld by default and phone numbers typed into descriptions are masked.
• Pakistan is not in the EU, and the Actor applies the same default as its EU siblings as a matter of caution. `includePrivateSellerContact` turns names on; use it only with a lawful basis.
• Dealer and showroom names, addresses, opening hours and the directory's business phone are always included.
• Removal requests: privacy@actorstack.dev
