Extract full vehicle details from any AutoTrader UK advert page (autotrader.co.uk/car-details/{id}). Returns price, specifications, photo gallery, seller info, description, and reserve availability.
AutoTrader advert pages are React single-page applications (sauron-adverts-app). Price, specs, gallery, and seller blocks load via JavaScript after the initial HTML shell. Piloterr uses website rendering to execute the page in a browser, wait for key sections (advert-price, overview, key-information), and scrape structured JSON from the rendered DOM.
