Vehicle valuation and spec sheet scraping
A valuation and a listing say different things: one gives a reference value, the other an asking price. They complete each other, and the gap between them is where the margin sits.
Data we extract
- Trade-in and resale value by model year
- Engines and gearboxes offered
- Standard equipment by trim level
- Options and what they add to the value
- Dimensions, consumption and emissions
- Launch and facelift dates
Example use cases
- Reference set for a trade-in tool
- Gap between book value and asking price
- Enriching a vehicle catalogue
- Comparing equipment across trim levels
Framework & ethics
We work with publicly accessible data, at a controlled pace so as not to disturb the sites we consult. Defining the uses is your responsibility, and we advise you on it.
Other kinds of site we collect
Vehicle listings
Motoring
A used car's price means nothing on its own: it hangs on the model year, the mileage, the trim and who is selling.
Property listings
Real estate
Listing portals publish tens of thousands of properties every day, and pull them just as fast.
Estate agency networks
Real estate
A network's own site does not publish what a portal publishes: it shows a portfolio, a fee scale, a web of branches and the negotiators who run them.
Job postings
Hiring
The same role appears on several sites under three different titles, then vanishes without notice.
Salaries and employer reviews
Hiring
What a role pays, and what people think of the employer, are not in the job ad.
Marketplaces
E-commerce
On a marketplace a product has no single price but as many prices as it has sellers, and the one that wins the basket changes during the day.
Retailer online stores
E-commerce
A retailer sells its own products, at its own price, with stock that differs from one store to the next.
Tourist accommodation
Travel
A nightly price does not exist outside a date.
