CarGurus Zipcode Search Scraper: how to get the data as JSON/CSV (API, Python, no code)

Q: How do I use the CarGurus Zipcode Search Scraper from Python?

Install the apify-client package, create a client with your Apify API token, call the Actor v0iddo/cargurus-zipcode-search-scraper with an input like the one above, and read the rows from the run's dataset. The Python snippet above does exactly that.

Set the maxItems input field to the number of results you need; the run stops there, so it also caps the cost of one run. You can also set a maximum cost for a run in the run options on Apify, and the run stops when it is reached.
