🚀 Overview & Key Highlights

Mobile.de Vehicle Scraper & Automotive Intelligence is an enterprise-grade automotive data extraction actor designed for car dealerships, automotive startups, pricing intelligence analysts, insurance appraisers, car brokers, and export specialists.

Unlike generic scrapers that struggle with dynamic pagination and CAPTCHAs, this Actor reverse-engineers Mobile.de's official search and taxonomy REST endpoints to extract rich automotive data in sub-second latency:

• 🔍 Universal Search Across 9 Vehicle Categories: Search Passenger Cars (Car), Motorcycles (Motorbike), RVs & Campers (Motorhome), Heavy Commercial Trucks > 7.5t (TruckOver7500), Light Vans (VanUpTo7500), Electric Bicycles (EBike), and Agricultural Machinery (AgriculturalVehicle).
• 🏷️ Brand & Make Name Resolution: Pass natural brand names like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Tesla, Volkswagen, Ferrari, or MAN directly without memorizing numeric make IDs.
• 🚘 Smart Model Series Resolution: Search by model names (911, Taycan, Cayenne, M3, M5, Golf, Model Y, e-tron GT) with automatic matching to official model IDs.
• 📋 Live Brands & Models Extraction Actions: Dedicated modes (action="get_brands" and action="get_models") to scrape the complete catalog of all available manufacturers and model series into your dataset.
• 📄 Page-by-Page Pagination: Control page and maxPages to scrape exact multi-page batches of inventory without item limits.
• ⚙️ Gearbox, Powertrain & Drivetrain: Filter by Automatic, Manual, or Semi-Automatic gearboxes, 4x4 / All-Wheel Drive (Quattro, xDrive, 4MATIC), and EV / Hybrid / Diesel / Petrol powertrains.
• ⚡ EV & Battery Intelligence: Extract electric vehicle data with heat pumps, battery health certificates, and bidirectional V2G charging options.
• ⭐ Dealership Ratings & Customer Reviews: Extract dealer star ratings (0–5), customer reviews count, and recommendation rates.
• 💼 VAT Deductible (MwSt.) & Export Filter: One-click filtering for commercial VAT deductible vehicles (vatDeductible: true) for business fleets and export buyers.
• 🤖 AI Natural Language Automotive Search: Enter freeform queries like "Electric SUV under 35000 euro with panoramic roof in Munich" and automatically parse them into structured search filters.
