Cardog – I scraped every dealerships inventory (200k cars)

Hacker News

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.
