## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Carroya.com Vehicle Scraper

Extract car and vehicle listings from [Carroya.com](https://www.carroya.com) — Colombia's largest automotive marketplace — without needing an official API.

Search by brand, model, city, price range, or any filter the site offers, and get structured data delivered directly to your dataset in minutes.

---

### What data does this actor extract?

For each vehicle listing, the actor returns:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `title` | Full listing title (e.g. *Toyota Corolla XEI 2021*) |
| `brand` | Manufacturer (e.g. Toyota, Chevrolet, Mazda) |
| `model` | Model name (e.g. Corolla, Spark, CX-5) |
| `year` | Model year |
| `price` | Price in Colombian Pesos (COP) |
| `mileage` | Odometer reading in kilometers |
| `fuelType` | Fuel type (Gasolina, Diésel, Híbrido, Eléctrico) |
| `color` | Exterior color |
| `condition` | New or used |
| `city` | Colombian city where the vehicle is located |
| `sellerType` | Private seller or dealership |
| `description` | Full seller description |
| `url` | Direct link to the listing |
| `scrapedAt` | Timestamp of when the data was collected |

---

### Use cases

- **Price research** — monitor and compare market prices for a specific brand, model, or year across Colombian cities
- **Lead generation** — identify private sellers or dealerships with specific inventory
- **Market trend analysis** — track availability, pricing shifts, and demand patterns over time
- **Inventory aggregation** — build car comparison tools or feeds from live marketplace data
- **Academic research** — study the Colombian used-car market with real data

---

### How to use

1. Go to [carroya.com](https://www.carroya.com) and apply the filters you need (brand, city, year, price range, fuel type, etc.)
2. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
3. Paste it into the **Marketplace URLs** field in the actor input
4. Optionally set **Max Items** to limit how many results you extract
5. Click **Start** and wait for results in the dataset

You can add multiple URLs in a single run to combine searches (e.g. used Toyotas in Bogotá + used Chevrolets in Medellín).
