## FAQ

### Do I need an IAAI account?

No. The task reads public IAAI search and vehicle pages. The full 17-character VIN is member-only, but the public VIN prefix is decoded via NHTSA.

### Can I watch for new lots?

Yes. Turn on monitorMode and add an Apify Schedule. Later runs return only new lots and Buy Now or sale-date changes.

### Which fields do I get?

Stock number, VIN prefix, year/make/model, damage, odometer, ACV, Buy Now price, sale date, branch and GPS, title type, and photos.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [IAAI Scraper — Salvage Auction Lots, VIN & ACV](https://apify.com/crawloop/iaai-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/crawloop/iaai-scraper.md

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`).
