## 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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## AutoScout24 Car Search Scraper

Search **AutoScout24** (Europe's largest online car marketplace) for used and new car listings by
search URL. Returns clean, structured JSON for every car on the results pages — price, make/model/
variant, mileage, first registration, fuel, gearbox, power, seller and location, plus the listing URL
and photos. Perfect for market pricing, dealer monitoring and inventory research.

**Pricing:** $0.50 per 1,000 results (pay-per-result — you are only charged for cars actually returned;
an empty search costs nothing).

### What you get

One record per car listing, for example:

```json
{
  "id": "e9564531-c348-4fd5-afdd-a744320f7121",
  "url": "https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/bmw-525-5-limousine-...-e9564531-...",
  "make": "BMW",
  "model": "525",
  "model_group": "5 Series",
  "variant": "Sedan",
  "motor_type": "525d",
  "price": 8890,
  "price_display": "€ 8,890",
  "mileage": 199000,
  "mileage_display": "199,000 km",
  "transmission": "Manual",
  "first_registration": "10/2014",
  "fuel": "Diesel",
  "power": "160 kW (218 hp)",
  "seller_type": "dealer",
  "seller_id": "31269009",
  "city": "Neunkirchen",
  "zip": "57290",
  "country": "DE",
  "num_images": 25,
  "image": "https://prod.pictures.autoscout24.net/listing-images/.../250x188.webp"
}
````

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `url` | string | no | An AutoScout24 search-results URL. Open autoscout24.com, choose a make/model and filters, then copy the URL — e.g. `https://www.autoscout24.com/lst/bmw?cy=D` (all BMW in Germany), `https://www.autoscout24.com/lst/audi/a4?cy=D` (Audi A4), `.../lst/volkswagen?cy=D&zip=80331&zipr=100` (VW near Munich). Defaults to newest BMW listings. |
| `max_results` | integer | no | Max cars to return, 1–100 (20 per page, up to 10 pages). Default 40. |

#### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `id` | AutoScout24 listing id (UUID) |
| `url` | Full listing URL |
| `make`, `model`, `model_group`, `variant`, `motor_type` | Vehicle identity |
| `price`, `price_display` | Asking price in EUR (numeric + formatted) |
| `mileage`, `mileage_display` | Odometer in km (numeric + formatted) |
| `transmission` | Gearbox (Manual / Automatic) |
| `first_registration` | First registration (MM/YYYY) |
| `fuel` | Fuel type |
| `power` | Engine power (kW / hp) |
| `seller_type`, `seller_id` | Dealer or private, and the seller id |
| `city`, `zip`, `country` | Seller location |
| `is_new` | New-car flag |
| `num_images`, `image` | Photo count and primary thumbnail |

### Pagination

The scraper pages the AutoScout24 search internally (20 cars per page) up to your `max_results`. To
collect more than one search, run the actor once per `url`. To get the **full detail** of a car (all
specs, categorised equipment, CO₂, previous owners, description, dealer company, all photos), pass its
listing URL to the companion **AutoScout24 Car Detail Scraper**.

### Usage — Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("good-apis/autoscout24-search-scraper").call(run_input={
    "url": "https://www.autoscout24.com/lst/bmw?cy=D",
    "max_results": 40,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["make"], item["model"], item["price"], item["mileage"], item["url"])
```

### Usage — Node.js

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

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('good-apis/autoscout24-search-scraper').call({
    url: 'https://www.autoscout24.com/lst/audi/a4?cy=D',
    max_results: 40,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(i => console.log(i.make, i.model, i.price, i.url));
```

### FAQ

**How do I build a search URL?** Just search on autoscout24.com the way a buyer would (make, model,
filters, location) and copy the URL from the address bar. The `cy=D` parameter restricts to Germany;
drop it or change it for other countries.

**Why do a few cars have no price?** A small number of AutoScout24 cards show "price on request"; the
`price` field is then `null` while the rest of the record is complete.

**How many cars can one run return?** Up to 200 (10 pages × 20). For a bigger harvest, split by make,
model, price band or location across several runs.

**Is it charged per result?** Yes — pay-per-result. You are billed only for cars actually returned.
