cargurus listings fetcher

This is a tool to fetch all the listings from cargurus.com for a particular car make/model (selectedEntity/carCode) by zip code and distance from that zip code. It's mainly to solve the problem of not knowing when a listing is posted and having to manually scan through every so often.

Note: selectedEntity seems to be an internal id for cargurus. The only id (in example below) I have currently is for an Mitsubishi Evo X.

How to run it / Example

You can run it with the following node command. It uses env variables for the zip, distance (in miles), carCode (or selectedEntity), transmission (A or M, optional).

zip=10001 distance=100 carCode=d423 node example.js
zip=10001 distance=100 carCode=d423 transmission=M node example.js
zip=10001 distance=100 carCode=d423 transmission=A node example.js
