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 ### AutoScout24 Car Scraper — EU Listings, Prices, Specs Scrape used and new car listings from **AutoScout24** — Europe's largest car marketplace — across Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and more. Filter by make, model, price, year, mileage, and fuel type. Returns 30+ structured fields per car. **Pay-per-result.** You are charged only for listings actually returned. Starting from **$1.39 per 1,000 cars**. --- ### What you get | Field | Example | |-------|---------| | `listing_id` | `c50c1fac-1a1c-40f1-…` | | `make` | `Volkswagen` | | `model` | `Golf` | | `variant` | `V 1.9 TDI Comfortline` | | `price_eur` | `1970` | | `year` | `2004` | | `first_registration` | `12/2004` | | `mileage_km` | `227000` | | `fuel` | `Diesel` | | `transmission` | `Manual` | | `power_kw` | `77` | | `power_hp` | `105` | | `engine_cc` | `1896` | | `body_type` | `Sedan` (when available) | | `seller_type` | `Dealer` / `Private` | | `seller_name` | `Kale Automobile GmbH` | | `location_city` | `Helmstedt` | | `location_zip` | `38350` | | `location_country` | `DE` | | `images` | list of image URLs | | `url` | full listing URL | Full schema: 34 fields per record including `parse_confidence` and `warnings`. --- ### Input | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | |-----------|------|-------------|---------| | `make` | string | Car make slug (e.g. `volkswagen`, `bmw`, `mercedes-benz`) | — | | `model` | string | Car model slug (e.g. `golf`, `3er`, `a4`) | — | | `country` | select | Country code: `D` (Germany), `F` (France), `I` (Italy), `NL`, `B`, `A`, `E`, `CH`, `P`, `LUX` | `D` | | `zip` | string | Postal code for proximity search | — | | `radiusKm` | number | Search radius in km around the ZIP | — | | `priceMin` | number | Minimum price in EUR | — | | `priceMax` | number | Maximum price in EUR | — | | `yearMin` | number | Minimum year (first registration) | — | | `yearMax` | number | Maximum year | — | | `mileageMax` | number | Maximum mileage in km | — | | `fuelType` | select | `B`=Petrol, `D`=Diesel, `E`=Electric, `H`=Hybrid, `L`=LPG, `N`=CNG | all | | `maxItems` | number | Max listings to return (0 = unlimited) | `100` | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Apify Residential proxy (recommended for cloud runs) | RESIDENTIAL/DE | --- ### Access method AutoScout24 is a **Next.js SPA**. The actor extracts listings from the embedded `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON blob on page 1, then switches to the fast `/_next/data/{buildId}/lst[/make[/model]].json` JSON route for pagination — the same internal API the browser uses. No HTML parsing after page 1. Transport ladder (escalates only as needed): 1. **curl_cffi chrome impersonation** — covers TLS/HTTP2 fingerprint (sufficient for most runs) 2. **Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy** — required when Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode activates --- ### Anti-bot AutoScout24 uses **Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode**. Direct datacenter IPs (including most CI/cloud runners) are challenged. The included `proxyConfiguration` with Apify Residential proxy (DE by default) bypasses this reliably. Without a residential proxy, cloud runs may fail with a 403. The actor uses sticky curl_cffi sessions (one residential IP per pagination sequence) to avoid the behavioral scoring that flags rapid IP rotation as bot traffic. --- ### Use cases - **Price monitoring** — track market prices for a specific make/model over time - **Dealer inventory** — pull a dealer's full listing set via `sellerId` search - **Market research** — mileage/price distribution for used car valuation models - **Lead generation** — find private seller listings before dealers acquire them - **Arbitrage** — spot price gaps between countries (DE vs NL vs FR) --- ### How much does it cost? Pricing is **pay-per-result** — you are charged only for listings actually returned. | Volume | Cost | |--------|------| | 1,000 listings | ~$1.39 | | 10,000 listings | ~$13.90 | | 100,000 listings | ~$139.00 | Each AutoScout24 search page returns 20 listings. A default run of 100 listings (5 pages) consumes roughly **$0.15** in actor charges plus Apify Residential proxy costs (typically $0.02–0.05 per page for residential bandwidth). Proxy costs are billed to your Apify account separately. --- ### Output example ```json { "listing_id": "651c054e-1021-4938-932f-2ec5ab3b34d3", "title": "Volkswagen Golf VI Trendline, Klima, Tüv Neu", "make": "Volkswagen", "model": "Golf", "variant": "VI Trendline, Klima, Tüv Neu", "offer_type": "A", "price_eur": 3800, "price_formatted": "€ 3,800", "year": 2011, "first_registration": "09/2011", "mileage_km": 230000, "fuel": "Gasoline", "transmission": "Manual", "power_kw": 63, "power_hp": 86, "engine_cc": 1197, "body_type": null, "seller_type": "Dealer", "seller_name": "EYC Global GmbH", "location_city": "Köln", "location_zip": "51107", "location_country": "DE", "url": "https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/volkswagen-golf-vi-…", "image_count": 35, "thumbnail": "https://pic.autoscout24.com/images/651c054e/…", "parse_confidence": 1.0, "warnings": [], "scraped_at": "2026-06-07T12:00:00+00:00" } ```` *** ### FAQ **Q: Does this work without a proxy?** A: Direct (no proxy) may work for small test runs locally. For sustained cloud runs, Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode challenges datacenter IPs. Enable Apify Residential proxy (the default) for reliable results on Apify cloud. **Q: How do I scrape a specific dealer?** A: AutoScout24's search API does not expose a `sellerId` filter. The best approach is to set make + model + ZIP + radius to narrow to the area, then filter `seller_name` / `seller_id` in your downstream pipeline. **Q: Why is `engine_cc` sometimes null?** A: AutoScout24 omits engine displacement from older listings or listings where the seller did not fill it in. The field is populated when available in the `vehicle.engineDisplacementInCCM` property of the listing JSON. **Q: What countries are supported?** A: All countries served by autoscout24.com: Germany (D), France (F), Italy (I), Netherlands (NL), Belgium (B), Austria (A), Spain (E), Switzerland (CH), Portugal (P), Luxembourg (LUX). **Q: Is the data real-time?** A: Each run fetches the live AutoScout24 search results at the time of execution. Listing availability and prices change continuously. For monitoring use cases, schedule repeat runs via Apify's built-in scheduler. *** ### Disclaimer This actor is an independent third-party tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by AutoScout24 GmbH or any of its affiliates.
