How It Works

1. The scraper receives a list of advert URLs as input.
2. Selenium WebDriver loads each advert page while using a residential proxy.
3. The script extracts key details, such as:
   • Title
   • Price
   • Description
   • Location
   • Seller Name
   • Posting Time
   • Vehicle Details (if applicable)
4. All extracted data is pushed to the Apify dataset.
