Euro NCAP data spans simple star ratings to complex PDF matrices. Our pipeline parses the DOM, extracts media links, and runs OCR on historical test reports to provide a unified schema.
Capture the top-level star rating alongside the specific testing protocol year, ensuring historical context is preserved.
Extract percentage scores and raw point values for Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Vulnerable Road Users, and Safety Assist.
Download and parse official PDF reports to extract tabular data not exposed directly on the HTML pages.
Map standard and optional safety equipment across different European markets as reported in the detailed test data.
Normalise data across different testing protocols (e.g., pre-2009, 2020 updates) into a queryable format.
Extract URLs for official crash test videos, high-resolution gallery images, and technical diagrams.
Capture the exact tested variant, kerb weight, and engine type to allow precise matching against your internal vehicle databases.
Run pipelines monthly or quarterly to capture new vehicle ratings as soon as Euro NCAP publishes them.
Convert inconsistent historical field names into a strict, unified JSON schema ready for database insertion.
Brief in. Clean data out.
Specify vehicle classes, publication years, or specific data points like AEB performance metrics.
We configure Scrapy crawlers and PDF parsing modules to handle the Euro NCAP site structure.
Schema validation ensures all percentage scores sum correctly and historical protocols are flagged.
JSON, CSV, or Parquet pushed to your S3 bucket or data warehouse on your required schedule.
Automotive portals rely on accurate safety data. Here is how we manage the complexity of Euro NCAP's historical and document-heavy structure.
Much of Euro NCAP's granular data, especially for older vehicles, is locked inside PDF reports. We use automated PDF parsing and OCR pipelines to extract tabular equipment lists and point breakdowns into structured JSON.
A 5-star rating in 2012 means something entirely different than a 5-star rating in 2023. Our schema captures the exact testing protocol year, allowing analysts to compare vehicles accurately across different regulatory eras.
Recent updates to the Euro NCAP portal use dynamic JavaScript rendering for score breakdowns. We deploy Playwright to execute page scripts and intercept the underlying API responses containing the raw safety metrics.
Automotive portals require visual proof of safety tests. Our pipeline extracts direct URLs for YouTube embeds, thumbnail assets, and official press images, associating them directly with the vehicle record.
Older vehicle records lack modern metrics like AEB or Lane Support. Our validation layer expects these nulls for pre-2014 vehicles but alerts on missing fields for current-year tests, ensuring high data fidelity.
Car listing websites integrate safety ratings and crash test videos directly into vehicle detail pages to aid consumer decisions.
Actuaries use AEB, lane support, and occupant protection scores to adjust premium calculations for specific vehicle models.
Corporate fleet managers filter available vehicles based on strict 5-star safety policies and standard safety equipment.
Automotive OEMs track how rival models perform in specific tests, such as side pole impacts or vulnerable road user scenarios.
Consultancies monitor Euro NCAP protocol changes and map them against historical vehicle performance for policy analysis.
Transport research institutes analyse historical crash data to measure the real-world impact of mandatory safety technologies.
"Euro NCAP data is the gold standard for European vehicle safety, but extracting historical test matrices from thousands of PDFs requires serious engineering."
Building a scraper for the top-level star ratings is trivial. Extracting the granular point scores, mapping the standard vs optional equipment across markets, and parsing 15 years of changing PDF report formats is a complex infrastructure challenge. DataFlirt manages this entire process.
Everything supported by our euroncap.com scraper — rendered SPA elements, auth walls, rate-limit evasion and beyond.
Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.
Custom Python modules parse complex PDF tables, handling layout variations across 15 years of changing Euro NCAP report formats.
Scrapy orchestrates the crawl while Playwright handles JavaScript execution for modern React-based score components.
Pipelines run on Kubernetes. Airflow manages scheduling for new publication batches. All state is stored in managed PostgreSQL.
Data delivered to where your team already works — no new tooling required.

Ask us directly →Scraping publicly available safety ratings and test results is generally permissible for factual analysis. DataFlirt extracts only public, unauthenticated data. Clients must ensure their use of the data complies with copyright laws, particularly regarding the republication of official PDFs or media assets.
We use custom PDF parsing libraries in Python to locate and extract tabular data. For older, scanned documents, we employ OCR to read safety equipment matrices and convert them into structured JSON.
Euro NCAP updates its testing protocols frequently (e.g., 2009, 2020, 2023). Our schema includes a mandatory field for the protocol year, and we normalise scores where possible. We do not attempt to calculate modern scores for older vehicles, as the test parameters differ.
Euro NCAP typically publishes ratings in scheduled batches. We can configure pipelines to run daily or weekly to detect new publications, ensuring your database is updated within hours of official release.
We extract the direct URLs (often YouTube embeds or CDN links) for the crash test videos. We recommend storing the URLs rather than downloading the raw video files to reduce storage costs, but file download pipelines are available upon request.
We offer a one-off historical extraction of all available vehicles (approx 2,000 models) followed by a quarterly maintenance contract to capture new releases. Contact us for precise scoping.
20-minute scoping call. Pilot dataset within the week. Production within two. Stop manually copying star ratings and PDF tables. We build and maintain the pipeline to deliver clean Euro NCAP data directly to your warehouse.
