Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### ⚑ Features Our **redbook.com.au** car research scraper pulls vehicle listings from a search URL and saves them as JSON, CSV, and more. Bot protection is handled automatically - just paste a URL and go πŸš€ βœ… Title, price guide, body type, transmission, engine, fuel economy, drive type βœ… ANCAP, VESR & UCSR safety ratings βœ… Main Image and details URL βœ… release date & more Supports any **redbook.com.au/cars/results/** search URL with filters. ### πŸ› οΈ How to use this actor 1. [Register for a free Apify account](https://apify.com/sign-up?fpr=cbgdsf) - no credit card required. 2. Open the actor, add your **Input**, and start a run. 3. Use the free tier to see if the output fits your project before scaling up. The scraper needs a **`startUrl`**: a search results URL from redbook.com.au with your filters applied in the browser. - Must start with: `https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/results/` - Example: `https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/results/?q=(And.ANCAPRating.5+stars+only._.Price.range(..15000).)` ### πŸ’° Cost of usage **$1.50 per 1,000 listings** scraped. No hidden fees. | Listings | Cost | | -------: | ---: | | 100 | ~$0.15 | | 1,000 | ~$1.50 | | 5,000 | ~$7.50 | ### πŸ†“ Free tier limitations We want you to see how this actor works before you commit. To keep things fair for everyone, the **free tier** usually includes these trial limits: - **Sample data:** up to **5 listings** per runβ€”enough to check data quality. - **Daily cap:** **5 runs** per calendar day (UTC). - **Between runs:** at least **30 minutes** before you can start another run. > Limits can change with platform load depending on system load and your intended scraping to prevent what we might interpret as free users abuse. A **paid plan** lifts those caps. [Apify pricing](https://apify.com/pricing?fpr=cbgdsf). ### πŸ“₯ Input | Field | Type | Description | Example | | ----- | ---- | ----------- | ------- | | `startUrl` | `string` | Search results URL from redbook.com.au | `https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/results/?q=...` | | `maxItems` | `number` | Listings to collect | `10` | ### πŸ“¦ Output Each dataset row is one car listing. Example: ```json { "id": "SPOT-ITM-528301", "ancap_rating_scale": 5, "ancap_rating_score": 5, "bodyStyle": "Hatch", "body_style": "Hatch, 5 door", "detailsUrl": "https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/details/2019-mitsubishi-mirage-es-la-manual-my20/SPOT-ITM-528301?Cr=2", "drive": "Front Wheel Drive", "engine_description": "3cyl 1.2L Aspirated Petrol Engine", "gear_type": "5spd Manual", "imageUrl": "https://redbook.pxcrush.net/redbookcars/car/spec/S0001VZB.jpg?pxc_method=gravityfill&pxc_bgtype=self&pxc_size=720,480", "priceAudMax": 10800, "priceAudMin": 7000, "priceDisplay": "$7,000 - $10,800", "priceGuideUrl": "https://www.redbook.com.au/_details/api/v1/price-guide/redbookcars/SPOT-ITM-528301", "priceType": "range", "releaseDate": "Jun 2019", "section": "standard", "title": "2019 Mitsubishi Mirage ES LA Manual MY20", "ucsr_rating_scale": 5, "ucsr_rating_score": 1, "vesr_rating_scale": 6, "vesr_rating_score": 3.5 } ```` ### ⚠️ Limitations Redbook.com.au caps search results at **420 listings** per search URL. This is a website limitation, not an actor limitation. If your search returns more than 420 results, narrow it down by using more specific filters (e.g. by make, model, year range, price range) so each URL stays within the 420 cap. You can run the actor multiple times with different filtered URLs to cover a larger set. Need to scrape beyond this limit automatically? Contact us, we can assess interest and consider implementing support for bypassing the 420-result cap. ### πŸ” SEO keywords redbook scraper, redbook.com.au scraper, redbook API, scrape redbook, car research scraper Australia, car valuation data, redbook to CSV, redbook to JSON, Apify redbook, Australian car data scraper, car price guide scraper #### πŸ“ž Contact us **Need a custom solution?
