Known limitations

• Proxy strongly recommended — Bilbasen.dk uses WAF/CDN protection. Without Apify Proxy, requests are likely to be blocked. Enable proxy in the input for reliable operation.
• Images capped to 3 by default — The images array returns the first 3 image URLs to keep output compact. Set imagesMode: "all" to get every available image URL. imagesCount always shows the total regardless of mode.
• One search URL per run — Use filters in the Bilbasen URL for targeted searches (e.g. make, model, price range).
• Requires Node.js 22 — Pinned in Dockerfile (apify/actor-node:22).
