## 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.

# README

## Mobile.de Car Search Scraper

Scrape car listings from **mobile.de** — Germany's largest vehicle marketplace — from any search URL.
Give it a mobile.de search-results link and get back a clean row per car: price, mileage, power, fuel,
first registration, transmission, location and the seller. **$1.00 / 1,000 results. No subscription,
no start fee.**

### What you get

One item per car listing:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `id` | mobile.de ad id |
| `url` | Link to the listing detail page |
| `title` / `subtitle` | Model line + trim/description |
| `price` / `price_display` / `currency` | Gross price (number), formatted string, currency |
| `price_net` | Net price where the seller lists one |
| `mileage_km` | Odometer in km |
| `power` | Engine power (kW / PS) |
| `fuel` | Fuel type (Benzin, Diesel, Elektro, …) |
| `first_registration` | First registration (MM/YYYY) |
| `transmission` | Gearbox (Automatik / Schaltgetriebe) |
| `displacement` | Engine displacement |
| `category` / `vehicle_class` | Body/category |
| `location` / `zip` / `country` | Where the car is |
| `num_images` / `image` | Photo count + a preview image |
| `seller_type` / `seller_name` / `seller_location` | Dealer vs private, name, location |
| `seller_rating` / `seller_rating_count` | Seller rating + review count |

### How to use

1. Open [mobile.de](https://www.mobile.de), choose a make/model and any filters.
2. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
3. Paste it into **Search URL** and set **Max results**.

The modern mobile.de URL encodes the make as `ms=<makeId>;;;` (BMW = 3500, Volkswagen = 25200,
Mercedes-Benz = 17200, Audi = 1900) and free-text as `q=<keyword>`:
`https://www.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/search.html?isSearchRequest=true&ms=3500;;;` (BMW) ·
`https://www.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/search.html?isSearchRequest=true&q=Porsche%20911` (keyword).
Just copy your own filtered URL from the site — whatever filters you set there are applied.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | a BMW search | A mobile.de `search.html?...ms=<makeId>;;;` results URL |
| `max_results` | integer | 20 | 1–54 (≈20 per page, up to 2 pages) |

### Example (Python)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("good-apis/mobile-de-search-scraper").call(run_input={
    "url": "https://www.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/search.html?isSearchRequest=true&ms=3500;;;",
    "max_results": 20,
})
for car in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(car["title"], car["price"], car["mileage_km"], "km")
````

### Example (Node.js)

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

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('good-apis/mobile-de-search-scraper').call({
    url: 'https://www.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/search.html?isSearchRequest=true&ms=3500;;;',
    max_results: 20,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

### Pricing

**Pay per result — $1.00 / 1,000 car listings.** You are charged only for listings actually delivered.
No monthly subscription and no per-run start fee.

### Notes & FAQ

- **Which filters can I use?** Anything mobile.de supports — set them on the site, then copy the URL.
  Make/model, price range, mileage, first-registration year, fuel, radius/zip, and sort order all live
  in the URL.
- **How many results per run?** Up to 54 (about 20 per page, 2 pages). For larger pulls, run several
  searches (e.g. split by price band or make).
- **Empty results?** A popular make/filter never returns zero — if it does, the search URL is too
  narrow or mobile.de changed something; try a broader URL.
