## 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

## 🇶🇦 Qatar Sale Scraper

Want [Qatar Sale](https://qatarsale.com/en/products/cars_for_sale) cars and classifieds in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** (category, make, price, year) — structured filters work better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`** from Qatar Sale once you've already filtered in the browser. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters below.

Qatar Sale currently lists about **26,000 cars for sale**, **2,100 cars for rent**, plus furniture, electronics, plates, and parts. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Dealers and buyers:** Export Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, and other Qatar inventory with QAR asking prices.
- **Dashboards:** Track sale vs rent stock without paging through qatarsale.com.
- **Classifieds research:** Pull furniture, electronics, special numbers, or spare parts from the same marketplace.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured listing rows with public Qatar Sale URLs.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live Qatar Sale results.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed titles, makes, and prices 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 Qatar Sale products or product URL (`input_url`) if you already filtered in the browser, or use structured filters (better for AI agents). `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Same category and make paths as `/en/products/{category}/{make}`.
- 🌐 **Qatar marketplace:** Titles, QAR prices, make/model/year, mileage, gearbox, photos, and map coordinates when published.

### 📦 What's inside the data?

Every row includes all of these fields:

- **Core:** `id`, `url`, `title`, `category`, `category_uri`, `purpose`, `slug`, `owner_id`
- **Price:** `price`, `currency` (QAR)
- **Car specs:** `make`, `model_class`, `model`, `year`, `mileage_km`, `gearbox`, `cylinders`, `condition`
- **Status / media:** `is_promoted`, `is_pinned`, `is_sold`, `is_business`, `view_count`, `images_count`, `image_url`, `created_at`, `listed_ago`
- **Location:** `latitude`, `longitude`
- **Raw specs:** `definitions` (Make, Class, Model, Year, Mileage, Gear Type, Cylinder)

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Input URL**

1. Open [Cars for sale](https://qatarsale.com/en/products/cars_for_sale), apply filters, copy the URL — e.g. `https://qatarsale.com/en/products/cars_for_sale/toyota`.
2. Paste it into `input_url`.
3. Set `max_results` and click **Start**.

**Option B — Structured filters (better for AI agents)**

1. Leave `input_url` empty.
2. Pick a category (default: cars for sale) and optionally a make.
3. Set `max_results` (up to 2000) and click **Start**.

- `input_url` always wins over filters when provided.

- Default category is **cars for sale**, matching the main cars browse page.
- Make slugs follow the site path (`mercedes_benz`, not `mercedes`).

# Actor input Schema

## `input_url` (type: `string`):

Paste a Qatar Sale products or product URL (e.g. https://qatarsale.com/en/products/cars\_for\_sale/toyota or https://qatarsale.com/en/product/718052). Overrides every filter when set.

## `category` (type: `string`):

Same category idea as qatarsale.com /en/products/{category}. Ignored when input\_url is set.

## `make` (type: `string`):

Same make path as /en/products/cars\_for\_sale/{make}. Only applies to cars for sale or rent. Ignored when input\_url is set.

## `min_price` (type: `integer`):

Minimum asking price in Qatari riyal. Works best without a make (site price filter). With a make, matching is done on returned cards.

## `max_price` (type: `integer`):

Maximum asking price in Qatari riyal.

## `min_year` (type: `integer`):

Keep cars with model year on or after this value. Ignored for non-car categories.

Keep cars with model year on or before this value. Ignored for non-car categories.

## `max_results` (type: `integer`):

How many rows to return (1–2000). Cars for sale currently has about 26,000 ads.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

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).
