1. Visit the Chrome Web Store page for Raptor Explorer
2. Click the "Add to Chrome" button on the Chrome Web Store page

1. Open Search Page

Start by searching for a vehicle on Turo in the desired location. Set a rental duration of 2-3 days, ideally a few months ahead, for broader results. Look for the "Raptor Explorer" button at the top-left above the search results. Click this button to open the extension's data table.

2. Sign in with Google

Click on "Sign in with Google" and select your Google account. Raptor Explorer only accesses your email for communication purposes and does not collect personal information.

3. Start Recording

Press the "Start recording" button to allow the extension to begin adding vehicles to the list when data is retrieved from Turo.

4. Update Search

Move the map slightly until the "Search this area" button appears and click it. A notification will show how many vehicles have been added to the Raptor table. Each request captures a maximum of 200 vehicles, so zoom and pan the map to collect all vehicles in the area.

If no notification appears, refresh the page or close and reopen it to restart the script that collects vehicle data.

5. Enrich Data

Click "Enrich vehicle data" to gather additional details for all listed vehicles. Each vehicle takes approximately 4 seconds to process because the extension pulls data from multiple sources.

6. Upgrade to Pro

Once you've tested the extension, consider upgrading to Pro to unlock its full potential. The free version allows you to enrich data for up to 5 vehicles, giving you a preview of the insights available.
