## Pricing

from $0.44 / 1,000 car listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## AutoScout24 Scraper

Paste AutoScout24 result pages from any country site, or just say what you want (make, model, year, price, mileage, fuel, gearbox, country, ZIP + radius), and get one clean JSON row per car: make, model, version, first registration, mileage, price and currency, AutoScout24's price rating, fuel, transmission, power, engine size, consumption, CO2, city, ZIP, country, seller type, dealer name, id and star rating, photo count and the cover photo. Turn on details for body type, colour, doors, seats, the equipment list, previous owners, accident flag, the date the car went online and AutoScout24's market price median. $0.44 per 1,000 cars, $0.89 per 1,000 with details. You only pay for cars you get back; a bad URL or an unknown model comes back as a free error row that says why.

It covers the eight AutoScout24 country sites (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands). Each filter search runs on the country's own site, which lists more of its own cars and rates their prices. Searches with more than 4,000 matches are split into price bands automatically, so you are not stuck at the site's paging limit.

Built for used-car dealers pricing their stock, importers and exporters comparing countries, leasing and insurance teams tracking residual values, market researchers building price indexes by model and year, and AI agents that need "diesel BMW 3 Series from 2019 under €25k near Munich" as data.

### Use with AI agents

The actor takes plain JSON and returns one flat row per car, so an AI agent or MCP client (for example through [mcp.apify.com](https://mcp.apify.com)) can call `arcadium/eu-car-listings` directly. Input example for "diesel BMW 3 Series from 2019 under €25,000 within 100 km of Munich":

```json
{ "make": "BMW", "model": "3-series", "yearFrom": 2019, "priceTo": 25000, "fuels": ["diesel"], "countries": ["DE"], "zip": "80331", "radiusKm": 100, "maxResultsPerSearch": 500 }
```

"Every Tesla Model 3 in Italy and France, with equipment and posted date":

```json
{ "make": "Tesla", "model": "model-3", "countries": ["IT", "FR"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 5000, "includeDetails": true }
```

Read `make`, `model`, `variant`, `year`, `mileageKm`, `price`, `currency`, `priceRating`, `fuel`, `transmission`, `powerHp`, `city`, `countryCode`, `sellerType`, `dealerName` and `url`. 1,000 cars cost $0.44 plus the start fee ($0.89 with details). A URL or search without cars comes back as a free row with `rowType: "error"`, a `code` (`not_found`, `no_match`, `unavailable`, `blocked`, `invalid_input`) and a `message`, never as a failed run. Retry on `blocked` and `unavailable` later.

### What you get

| Field | What it holds |

```

### Input

- **AutoScout24 URLs**: result pages (`/lst/...`) from autoscout24.de, .com, .it, .fr, .nl, .be, .at, .es or .lu with every filter you set on the site, and single car pages.
- **Filter search**: `make`, `model` (English names as in autoscout24.com URLs: `3-series`, `c-class`, `golf`), `yearFrom`/`yearTo`, `priceFrom`/`priceTo`, `mileageFrom`/`mileageTo`, `fuels`, `transmissions`, `countries` (empty = all eight), `zip` + `radiusKm` (one country), `sellerType`, `condition`, `sortBy`.
- **Limits**: `maxResultsPerSearch` (per URL, and per country for the filter search), `maxItems` for the whole run, `includeDetails`.

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Car listing (`listing`) | $0.44 per 1,000 |
| Car listing with details (`listing-details`) | $0.89 per 1,000 |
| Error rows, cars repeated across searches | free |

10,000 cars cost $4.40; with details $8.90.

### Use cases

- **Dealer pricing**: compare your stock with the market by model, year and mileage, and with AutoScout24's own price rating.
- **Import/export**: the same model's prices in Germany, Italy, France and the Netherlands side by side.
- **Residual values and price indexes**: daily snapshots by `listingId` show price cuts and how long cars stay online.
- **Dealer research**: every dealer's stock, rating and location in a region.

### Limitations

- Cars sold by AutoScout24's own retail service (shown as dealer `smyle`) live in a different app; they get the search fields only, even with details on, and are charged as `listing`.
- The site pages through 4,000 cars per query. Larger searches are split by price, so cars with no price ("price on request") are left out of those.
- Equipment names follow the language of the country site (German on .de, Italian on .it).
- mobile.de is not covered.

### Privacy

Private sellers come without name, phone, street or seller id: only city, ZIP and country. Contact persons and phone numbers of dealers are never included either; dealers keep their business name, address and rating. Text the seller types (title, version) is cleaned of phone numbers, emails and links.

### FAQ

**Why do I get an error row for my model?** The model name was not recognized. Use the English name as it appears in autoscout24.com URLs (for example `3-series`, `c-class`, `a-class`, `model-3`), or paste a result URL from the site instead.

**Why is `priceRating` empty for some cars?** AutoScout24 rates prices only on a country's own site and only when it has enough comparable cars. Use the filter search or the country's own site for the best coverage.

# Actor input Schema

## `yearFrom` (type: `integer`):

Earliest year of first registration, e.g. 2018.

## `yearTo` (type: `integer`):

Latest year of first registration, e.g. 2023.

Where the car is offered, as ISO codes: DE, AT, BE, ES, FR, IT, LU, NL. Empty = all of them.

## `zip` (type: `string`):

Search around this postal code; needs exactly one country, e.g. 10115 with countries \["DE"].

## `radiusKm` (type: `integer`):

Distance around the ZIP code in kilometres, e.g. 50.

## `sellerType` (type: `string`):

Dealers, private sellers or both. Values: any (default), dealer, private.

## `condition` (type: `string`):

Used cars, new cars or both. Values: any (default), used, new.

## `maxResultsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Cars per result URL or filter search, 1 to 100000 (default 500). The site pages through 4,000 cars per query; larger searches are split into price bands automatically (cars without a price are then left out).

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Reads each car page: body type, colour, doors, seats, equipment list, previous owners, accident flag, posted date and the market price median. One extra request per car; charged as listing-details. Off by default.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stops the run after this many cars across all searches. A cost cap; leave empty for no limit.

## `includeErrorRows` (type: `boolean`):

Adds a free row (rowType error, with a code and message) for every URL or search that gave no cars. On by default.

## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`):

How often a request is retried after a temporary error or block, 0 to 10.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Leave empty: requests go over datacenter proxies and switch to residential ones only after repeated blocks.
