Show HN: Cardog – I scraped every dealerships inventory (200k cars)
I just finished building the first version of Cardog, a platform that makes finding a car online simple. There is currently over 200,000 vehicles to search and filter from. Currently I only have vehicles from Canada but am working on adding 20,000 dealerships from the US.
Searching for cars online is an awful experience, most dealerships websites are littered with popups, ads and bugs. This leaves users with the large vehicle listing platforms, which suffer from the same problems of failing to make searching simple.
That's why I built Cardog, I saw most dealerships use the same few website providers, so I built a system to fetch the data and serve it in one simple to use platform. Everyday the data is fetched and updated so there isn't any stale listings.
I'm really excited to share this with the community and would love to hear any feedback.
- tamimio 3y agoVery nice! Will it be updated periodically I assume?
- samsullivan 3y agoYeah it fetches the vehicles daily and removes sold listings by diffing the existing inventory w/ the recent scrape data.
- tamimio 3y agoThat’s pretty cool, thanks for sharing it!
