## Pricing

from $1.50 / 1,000 results

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

## CRautos Scraper

Want [crautos.com](https://crautos.com/autosusados/index.cfm) used cars in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** — better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`**. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters.

crautos.com is Costa Rica's used-car marketplace, with more than 11,000 cars for sale. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Dealers:** Export San José, Heredia, and nationwide used cars.
- **Dashboards:** Track make, year, and colon prices without paging the site.
- **Market research:** Slice the catalog by make, fuel, province, or price.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured rows with public listing URLs.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live crautos.com results.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed titles, prices, and locations into retrieval pipelines.
- **🔗 AI Workflows:** Plug into LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, and similar stacks.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste a crautos.com search URL, or pick the same filters as the site. `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Make, model, year, price, fuel, transmission, province, body style, sort — the same controls as the used-car search.
- 🌐 **Listing cards:** Title, colon price, fuel, transmission, province, and photo.

## CLI example

echo '{}' |
apify call dadhalfdev/crautos-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dadhalfdev/crautos-scraper"

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
