## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Mobile.de Scraper

Search **mobile.de**, Germany's largest used-car marketplace, and get structured listing results — no login required. Returns title, price, mileage, first registration, fuel type, transmission, power, location, and listing URL.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchUrl` | string | Optional: a full mobile.de search-results URL (e.g. copied from your browser after applying filters). Overrides `query` if provided. Recommended for reliable filtering. |
| `query` | string | Free-text keyword, e.g. `VW Golf`, used to build a simple search URL if no `searchUrl` is given. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max listings to return (default 30) |

Example:

```json
{
    "query": "VW Golf",
    "maxItems": 30
}
```

Or, with a direct search URL (recommended for precise filters like make/model/price/year):

```json
{
    "searchUrl": "https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/search.html?makeModelVariant1.makeId=25200&makeModelVariant1.modelId=20",
    "maxItems": 30
}
```

### Output

```json
{
    "title": "VW Golf VII 1.5 TSI Comfortline",
    "price": 15990,
    "currency": "€",
    "mileageKm": 45000,
    "firstRegistration": "03/2019",
    "fuelType": "Benzin",
    "transmission": "Automatik",
    "power": "110 kW (150 PS)",
    "location": "Berlin",
    "listingUrl": "https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=123456789",
    "imageUrl": "https://img.classistatic.de/api/v1/mo-prod/images/example.jpg",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-17T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Common uses

- Used-car price and market research
- Tracking listings for a specific make/model over time
- Feeding listing URLs into a detail-page enrichment tool
- Dealer inventory monitoring

### Notes

For best filtering accuracy, pass a `searchUrl` copied directly from a real mobile.de search (with your make/model/price/year filters already applied) rather than relying on the free-text `query` fallback, since mobile.de's search UI is primarily filter-driven rather than fulltext-search-driven. Prices and mileage are parsed assuming German number formatting (dot as thousands separator).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "query": "VW Golf",
    "maxItems": 30
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gio21/mobile-de-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "query": "VW Golf",
    "maxItems": 30,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("gio21/mobile-de-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "query": "VW Golf",
  "maxItems": 30
}' |
apify call gio21/mobile-de-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gio21/mobile-de-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
