RockAuto Scraper for Parts Catalogue and Price Data

RockAuto Parts Prices and Listing Fields

A RockAuto listing is one line inside a vehicle and part-type branch, and much of its meaning sits in small labels around the price. Our RockAuto scraper keeps the branch on every row, so one part number can be read against each vehicle it fits.

• Vehicle and branch - make, year, model and engine as the catalogue names them, the category (Brake & Wheel Hub, Cooling System, Suspension) and the part type, with the numeric ids the catalogue address carries for the engine and the part type.
• Part - brand, part number, the description line and the fitment notes inside it: Front or Rear, FWD or 4WD, two- or four-door bodies, with or without A/C, To/From build dates, "X per car" or "X required", and the flags marking the market - US, Canada or Mexico - for which the manufacturer supplied application data.
• Price - unit price, the pack total where an x2 or x4 box marks a multi-pack, the core charge printed in blue beside the price, and the currency.
• Availability - a part with a price is in stock unless it reads Non-stock item or Out of Stock; X Day Delay adds the supplier lead time in business days.
• Labels - Wholesaler Closeout, Private Label Pkg, Return and Rebuild Service (R&R), remanufactured or reman in the description, the heart icon for the parts ordered most often for that vehicle with the fewest returns, and the star icon for a manufacturer rebate.
• Quality tier - the group a part sits in when RockAuto splits a part type by grade: Economy, Daily Driver, High Performance, or Copper, Platinum and Iridium.
• Info page - photos, the warranty summary, specifications and the features the manufacturer lists.

Rows taken from Part Number Search add a cross-reference layer: exact matches first, then the items a manufacturer reports as equivalent or closely related, each with its own brand and price.

RockAuto Price History, Fitment and Closeouts

A listing page answers one question for one vehicle. Most buyers need the catalogue sideways: one part type across every vehicle, or one brand across every part type. Because RockAuto files a part under each application it fits, the same part number turns up under many vehicles - we deliver it once in a parts table and again in a fitment table that links it to every make, model, engine and build-date limit.

Outside the vehicle tree, the Tools & Universal Parts tab lists lights, belts, hoses and other parts by size, and the Promotions & Rebates page points to the Show Closeouts Only switch that lists a vehicle's Wholesaler Closeout parts. Vehicles can be filtered by the market they were first sold in, which matters when you price for the US, Canada or Mexico.

RockAuto updates its catalogue daily with new parts, pictures and details. Repeat the crawl on a schedule, keyed on brand and part number, and the price column becomes a history: when a price increase landed, when a closeout appeared and sold out, when a core charge moved. That is the dependable way to track RockAuto price increases - every change carries the date of the run that saw it. Prices are billed in US or Canadian dollars, and the other currencies in the selector are estimates converted at interbank rates each morning, so we record the billing currency and leave conversion to you; otherwise exchange-rate moves would show up as price changes.
