## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Dubicars Property Details Scraper: Collect UAE Car Listings Data Effortlessly

***

### What Is Dubicars.com?

Dubicars.com is the UAE's largest online automotive marketplace, hosting thousands of vehicle listings from private sellers and licensed dealers. It specializes in new and pre-owned cars, providing detailed specifications, pricing in AED, export availability, and seller information. Collecting this data manually is tedious and error-prone — the **Dubicars Property Details Scraper** automates the extraction process, transforming listing pages into clean, structured datasets.

***

### Overview

The **Dubicars Property Details Scraper** extracts comprehensive vehicle information from individual car listing pages, capturing pricing, technical specifications, condition details, seller profiles, and availability flags. It serves:

- **Automotive researchers** building pricing models and market reports
- **Price comparison platforms** aggregating UAE vehicle data
- **Used car dealers** monitoring competitor inventory
- **Fleet managers** tracking market availability
- **Data analysts** studying automotive market trends

The scraper excels at handling bulk extraction with configurable limits and resilient error handling through the `ignore_url_failures` option.

***

### Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration:

```json
{
    "urls": [
        "https://www.dubicars.com/2022-mercedes-benz-gle-450-amg-uaes-very-best-example-aed-3523-per-month-892918.html",
        "https://www.dubicars.com/2025-mercedes-benz-a45-amg-s-uaes-very-best-example-aed-3086-per-month-947959.html"
    ],
    "max_items_per_url": 200,
    "ignore_url_failures": true
}
```

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `urls` | Array | Individual car listing URLs from Dubicars.com. Paste full listing page URLs (e.g., `.../2022-mercedes-benz-gle-450...html`) |
| `max_items_per_url` | Integer | Maximum records to extract per URL. Default: `200` |
| `ignore_url_failures` | Boolean | If `true`, the scraper continues if a URL fails; if `false`, stops on first error |

### How to Use

1. **Collect URLs** — Navigate to Dubicars.com and find the specific vehicles you want to scrape. Open each listing page and copy the full URL (including `.html` extension).

2. **Prepare input** — Paste URLs into the `urls` array. You can add 1, 10, or 100+ URLs depending on your needs.

3. **Configure settings**:
   - Set `max_items_per_url` to `200` (recommended for single listings)
   - Enable `ignore_url_failures: true` for bulk runs to skip problematic URLs

4. **Execute** — Run the scraper and monitor progress in the activity log.

5. **Export results** — Download output as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Pipe data into databases, spreadsheets, or downstream applications.

**Troubleshooting:**

- If a URL returns no data, verify the link points to a car detail page (not a search or category page).
- Use `ignore_url_failures: true` to prevent interruptions during large batch runs.
- Check that URLs include the full path with `.html` extension.
