Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Devil Scrapes mark ## Subito Italy Car Scraper **๐Ÿ’ฐ $2.05 / 1 000 results**  ยท  pay only for results  ยท  no credit card to try _We do the dirty work so your dataset stays clean._ ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Scrape used-car listings from subito.it, Italy's #1 classifieds marketplace (Auto category) โ€” price, make, model, version, year, mileage, fuel, gearbox, power (kW & CV), body type, colour, seller type (dealer/private), region, province, town, and photos. Export to JSON or CSV; each listing already carries its full Italian description.
--- ### ๐ŸŽฏ What this scrapes subito.it is Italy's largest classifieds marketplace and the default place Italians buy and sell used cars (auto usate). It publishes no public API. This Actor wraps a polite scrape of the Auto category โ€” paste a filtered subito search URL or use the default car listing page, and pull every listing's price, make/model/version, year, mileage (km), fuel, gearbox, power, body type, colour, seller type, region/province/town, full Italian description, and photos. Built on `curl-cffi` with browser TLS impersonation to ride past DataDome. ### ๐Ÿ”ฅ What we handle for you - ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ **Browser fingerprint rotation** โ€” `curl-cffi` impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python. - ๐ŸŒ **Residential proxy rotation** via Apify Proxy โ€” fresh session and exit IP on every block. - ๐Ÿ” **Retries with exponential backoff** on `408 / 429 / 5xx` โ€” up to 5 attempts per page, `Retry-After` honoured. - ๐Ÿงฑ **Rate-limit-aware pacing** โ€” when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned. - ๐ŸงŠ **Clean, typed dataset rows** โ€” Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console. - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **Pay-Per-Event pricing** โ€” you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge. ### ๐Ÿ’ก Use cases - **Used-car price analytics** โ€” track asking prices by make/model/year across the Italian market. - **Dealer inventory monitoring** โ€” diff successive runs to spot new arrivals and price cuts at specific dealers. - **Market research** โ€” aggregate fuel-type and gearbox mix to gauge EV/hybrid adoption in Italy. - **Lead generation** โ€” build a directory of car dealers from seller_name + location. - **Arbitrage / sourcing** โ€” find under-priced listings filtered by mileage, year, and power. ### โš™๏ธ How to use it 1.

No subscription, no minimum, no card to start โ€” Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit. ### ๐Ÿšง Limitations subito paginates 30 listings per page and very deep result sets eventually stop returning new pages โ€” large queries cap out well before the full half-million listings. Private sellers usually leave seller\_name blank. Mileage on the search payload is a precise scalar; some legacy listings only expose a mileage band. Detail enrichment adds one request per listing and roughly doubles run time, returning only higher-resolution photo URLs. ### โ“ FAQ **Do I need a subito account or API key?** No. subito.it offers no public API. This Actor scrapes the public Auto category politely โ€” see the ToS Notice in the README. **How do I scrape a filtered search?** Apply your filters on subito.it, copy the resulting URL from your browser, and paste it into searchUrl. We walk the result pages from there. **Why is subito hard to scrape?** subito is protected by DataDome bot mitigation. This Actor rides past it with browser TLS impersonation, rotating sessions on 403/429, exponential backoff, and a landing-page warm-up. Residential proxies are strongly recommended. **Do I need detail enrichment?** Usually no. The search payload already carries price, full specs, seller, location, description, and thumbnail photos. Enable enrichDetails only when you want the full-resolution photo URLs from each detail page. **What currency are prices in?** Always EUR. price is an integer in euros; mileage is always in kilometres. ### ๐Ÿ’ฌ Your feedback Spotted a bug, hit a weird edge case, or need a new field?

# Actor input Schema ## `searchUrl` (type: `string`): Full subito.it Auto search/results URL with your filters already applied (e.g. https://www.subito.it/annunci-italia/vendita/auto/?q=golf\&ps=5000\&pe=15000). Leave empty to scrape the default used-car listing page. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on dataset rows. subito paginates 30 listings per page; the Actor walks pages until this cap or the last page. ## `enrichDetails` (type: `boolean`): Fetch each listing's detail page for full-resolution photo URLs. The search payload already carries price, specs, seller, location, description, and thumbnail photos โ€” turn this off to halve the request count. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy spec. subito is protected by DataDome โ€” Italian residential exits are strongly recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrl": "", "maxResults": 50, "enrichDetails": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `datasetItems` (type: `string`): All dataset items as JSON. ## `datasetItemsCsv` (type: `string`): Same data exported to CSV. ## `datasetView` (type: `string`): Open the run dataset in the Console. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
