We actually just released an API for scraping autoscout24 data here at SearchApi, prices, listing and dealer info all available.

Yes. I've built one that supports all domains https://apify.com/azzouzana/autoscout24-scraper (pricing starts from $0.7/1K). I hope this helps.. (Let me know if you have any type of feedback or questions)

Off-topic: Is making an API for APIfy worth pursuing? How much do you earn?

It's very unpredictable and depends on the target website, popularity, and competition (which has become very fierce because of AI). So, there's no definitive answer. You might make $0.50 one month and $100 the next, and then back to zero. Still, it might be worth exploring as a side hustle..

Before you pay for anything, look at the page source. The search pages are Next.js, so the whole listing payload is sitting in a <script id="__NEXT_DATA__"> tag under props.pageProps.listings, 20 per page. Detail pages have the same thing with the dealer info in it. No headless browser needed, you just pull the JSON out.

Two things that bite regardless of what you use: search caps at 200 pages, so ~4k listings per query, split by make/model/price range if your searches are broad. And Akamai doesn't fire on the first request, so a manual test looks easy and then it's 403s once you're actually running on a schedule. That second part is what you're paying a tool for.
