Goo-net Japan Used Cars Scraper

Scrape Goo-net Japan used car listings from any search URL or free-text query, up to a million vehicles per run. Every listing returns the full vehicle details, dealer info, and photos. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Goo-net is Japan's largest used car marketplace, but manually copying vehicle specs, prices, and dealer details across thousands of listings is slow and error-prone. This Actor reads the public listing feeds directly, so you can pull structured data from any search results page or free-text query without writing a single line of code. It handles pagination, rate-limiting, and data extraction automatically, returning a clean dataset ready for analysis.

Who uses it What they scrape Goo-net for
Used car exporters Build an inventory feed of available Japanese vehicles with full specs and dealer contacts for overseas buyers.
Market analysts Track pricing trends and model availability across the Japanese domestic used car market over time.
Dealerships Monitor competitor pricing and stock levels for specific makes and models in their region.
Data journalists Investigate market dynamics, such as how inspection history or repair records affect resale value.

What it does

This Actor collects used car listings from Goo-net Japan by search URL or free-text query and returns each vehicle as a flat row with its price, mileage, year, specs, and dealer information.

  • πŸ”— Start URL input: Paste any Goo-net search or listing page URL to scrape exactly the results you see in your browser.
  • πŸ” Free-text search: Provide a search query for make, model, or keyword, and the Actor finds matching listings across the platform.
  • πŸ“Š Structured output: Every car comes back as a flat row with consistent columns for price, mileage, year, engine, transmission, and dealer details.
  • πŸ–ΌοΈ Photo URLs included: Direct links to vehicle photos are captured so you can display images in your own application or report.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your startUrl or searchQuery is valid and returns listings when you open it in a regular browser. Also confirm that maxItems is set to a number greater than zero. If the search is too narrow, try broadening your query.

The Actor is running but taking a long time.

Large maxItems values mean the Actor must paginate through many pages. This is normal. You can reduce maxItems or narrow your search URL to speed it up.

Some fields are empty in my output.

Not every Goo-net listing includes all details. If a seller did not provide the repair history or certain specs, those fields will be blank. This reflects the data available on the site.

I got blocked or received errors.

The Actor uses proxies and rate limiting, but aggressive scraping can still trigger blocks. Try reducing maxItems, increasing the run timeout, or using a more specific startUrl to reduce the number of pages visited.

Can I scrape listings in English?

Goo-net is a Japanese-language site. The Actor extracts the data as it appears on the page, which is primarily in Japanese. You can use translation tools on your exported dataset afterward.

FAQ

Question Answer
Can I scrape Goo-net without being blocked? Yes. The Actor uses Apify's proxy infrastructure and respects the site's robots.txt and rate limits. It rotates IP addresses and adds delays between requests to avoid detection.
What data does each car listing include? Each row includes the vehicle price, total price, year, mileage, engine, transmission, drivetrain, exterior color, inspection and repair history, dealer name and location, and direct photo URLs.
How do I search for a specific car model? You can paste a Goo-net search URL with your filters already applied, or use the searchQuery field to type a make and model like 'Toyota Alphard' and the Actor will find matching listings.
Is there a limit on how many cars I can scrape? Free users can scrape up to 10 items as a preview. Paid Apify users can set maxItems up to 1,000,000 per run, limited only by what is available on Goo-net.
Can I export the data to Google Sheets? Yes. You can export your dataset as a CSV file and import it directly into Google Sheets, or use Apify's Google Sheets integration to send data there automatically.
Does this Actor require a Goo-net account or API key? No. It reads the publicly accessible listing pages on Goo-net, so you do not need to register an account, get an API key, or handle OAuth.
Can I schedule this Actor to run automatically? Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs. You can set the Actor to run daily or weekly to track new listings or price changes over time.
What output formats are supported? You can export your results as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset tab.
Does it scrape sold or auction vehicles? No. This Actor scrapes the publicly listed used car inventory on Goo-net. It does not access auction data or vehicles marked as sold.
Can I filter by region or dealer location? Yes. Apply your desired filters on the Goo-net website first, then copy the resulting URL into the startUrl field. The Actor will scrape only those filtered results.
