## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 🇳🇴 FINN.no Car Scraper

Want [FINN.no](https://www.finn.no/mobility/search/car) 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.

FINN is Norway’s main marketplace. The car search shows about **49** listings per page and stops at **page 50**. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Marketplaces:** Export used and new cars from FINN.no.
- **Dashboards:** Track new listings without paging the site.
- **Market research:** Slice Norwegian cars by make, county, fuel, price, or year.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured rows with public listing URLs.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live FINN 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 FINN car search or listing URL, or pick the same filters as the site. `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Keyword, make, county, fuel, gearbox, body type, seller, price in NOK, year, mileage, and sort.
- 🌐 **Listing cards:** Title, price, year, mileage, make, model, fuel, gearbox, location, photo, and listing URL.
