RockAuto Scraper

Pull auto-parts listings from RockAuto.com at scale — brand, manufacturer part number, retail price, the refundable core charge, per-warehouse stock, fitment notes, and full vehicle context on every row. Look up parts by year, make, and model, or paste any RockAuto catalog URL. Built for parts resellers, repair shops, and inventory teams who need clean, structured pricing and fitment data without clicking through RockAuto's catalog tree one part type at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Refundable core charge captured separately — every row carries corePrice alongside the retail price, so you see the true landed cost of remanufactured parts that competitors collapse into a single number.
• One row per warehouse, not per part — each listing breaks out by fulfilling warehouse with its own warehouse location and warehousePartNumber, so you know exactly where stock ships from and what to order against.
• Multi-engine union in one run — flip includeAllEngines on and the scraper unions every engine variant for the model (a 2020 Camry resolves to 3 distinct engine codes), so you never miss parts that only fit the 2.5L or the hybrid.
• Two lookup modes — search by year/make/model or paste any vehicle, category, or part-type catalog URL; pasted URLs apply their own make, model, engine, and category selections automatically.
• Full vehicle fitment on every row — make, model, year, engine, and RockAuto's internal carcode are echoed onto each part so a flat export stays self-describing with no joins.
• Brand + manufacturer part number for cross-referencing — brand (BOSCH, DENSO, ACDelco) plus the exact partNumber on every listing, ready to match against your own catalog or a supplier feed.
• Consistent USD pricing — prices are normalized to USD and the actual currency glyph is read off each price, so a 100,000-row export never mixes EUR and USD by accident.
• Category targeting or full sweep — limit to a single RockAuto category group like "Brake & Wheel Hub" or "Suspension", or leave it empty to pull every category for the vehicle.
• 21 structured fields per listing — including condition (new vs. remanufactured), inStock, footnote, fitmentNotes, the "More Info" URL, and an ISO-8601 scrapedAt timestamp on each row.

Getting Started

Look Up a Vehicle

The simplest run — year, make, and model:

{
    "make": "TOYOTA",
    "model": "CAMRY",
    "year": 2020,
    "maxResults": 50
}

Target One Category, All Engines

Pull only brake parts, and include every engine variant for the model:

{
    "make": "FORD",
    "model": "F-150",
    "year": 2021,
    "partCategory": "Brake & Wheel Hub",
    "includeAllEngines": true,
    "maxResults": 200
}

Paste Catalog URLs

Paste any RockAuto vehicle, category, or part-type page — selections in the URL are applied automatically:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/toyota,2020,camry,2.5l+l4,3445372,brake+&+wheel+hub",
        "https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/honda,2019,civic"
    ],
    "maxResults": 300
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	string[]	[]	RockAuto catalog URLs — a vehicle page, a category page, or a part-type page. Make, model, engine, and category already selected in the URL are applied automatically. Leave empty to use the vehicle fields instead.

Vehicle Lookup

These fields apply only when no catalog URL is provided.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
make	string	"TOYOTA"	Vehicle manufacturer, e.g. TOYOTA, HONDA, FORD. Not case-sensitive.
model	string	"CAMRY"	Model name, e.g. CAMRY, CIVIC, F-150. Not case-sensitive. Leave empty to cover all models for the make.
year	integer	2020	Model year, e.g. 2020. Leave empty to cover all years for the model.
partCategory	string	""	Limit results to one category group as named on RockAuto, e.g. "Brake & Wheel Hub", "Engine", "Suspension". Leave empty to collect every category.
includeAllEngines	boolean	false	Collect parts for every engine variant of the model. When off, only the primary engine variant is used.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of parts to return across all URLs and vehicle lookups. Set to 0 for unlimited. Start with 10–50 to test, then increase.

Tips for Best Results

• Start small — set maxResults to 10–50 on your first run to confirm the data matches the vehicle and category you expect, then scale up.
• Use includeAllEngines for complete coverage — a single model often has several engine options, each with its own fitting parts. Leave it off when you know the exact engine; turn it on when you need every part that could fit the model.
• Pull the core charge for true cost — corePrice is a refundable deposit that's separate from price. Add the two together for the real upfront landed cost of remanufactured parts, and refund the core back into your margin model after the old unit is returned.
• Match category names exactly as RockAuto labels them — use the site's own wording like "Brake & Wheel Hub" or "Suspension". Leave partCategory empty to sweep every category for the vehicle.
• Paste deep URLs to skip the tree — a part-type URL goes straight to its listings; a category or vehicle URL traverses downward from that point. Mix URLs and vehicle lookups in one run.
• Names aren't case-sensitive — make and model match the site's own labels regardless of case, so "toyota" and "TOYOTA" both work.
• One physical part can produce several rows — the same part stocked at multiple warehouses yields one row per warehouse, each with its own stock and warehouse part number. Group on partNumber if you want a single line per part.

Pricing

From $4.00 per 1,000 results — undercuts comparable RockAuto extractors while breaking out the core charge and per-warehouse stock that flat-price feeds miss. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.48	$0.45	$0.43	$0.40
1,000	$4.80	$4.50	$4.30	$4.00
10,000	$48.00	$45.00	$43.00	$40.00
100,000	$480.00	$450.00	$430.00	$400.00

A "result" is any part-listing row in the output dataset. There are no compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Platform fees depend on your Apify plan.
