Description
I made this database in July 2019 at request of an Indian company, who asked me to make databases for over 10 countries, and published it here to be purchased by other people needing same thing. But now if I were to update all them it means a huge workload for me and small size of South Africa country (low number of customers) do not justify effort to update it.
Source of data: www.cars.co.za (this a website that does shows specifications only for new cars, so when a model is no longer sold it is removed from database.
List of updates
44 brands, 364 models (295 unique), 2478 versions (1812 unique) – 6 July 2019
44 brands, 380 models (305 unique), 1715 versions – 25 February 2020
44 brands, 383 models (306 unique), 1703 versions – 4 May 2020
45 brands, 379 models (310 unique), 1645 versions – 4 May 2021, after exactly 1 year someone requested update.
44 brands, 373 models (303 unique), 1582 versions – 27 September 2021.
43 brands, 361 models (297 unique), 1508 versions – 12 March 2022.
In 2023 cars.co.za was redesigned, showing car specifications in JSON format so extracting data was no longer an simple job. I would need to pay a programmer for a custom scraper but little amount of data available and poor sales of South Africa car database did not encouraged me to continue this project.
In late 2024 or early 2025 specifications moved back to HTML format, allowing me to update database again.
53 brands, 381 models (323 unique), of which 320 with 1340 versions – 29 January 2025
