## 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`).

### How many results can you scrape with Mobile.de Auto scraper?

Our Mobile.de Auto scraper can return tens of thousands of results on average. However, you have to keep in mind that scraping real estate websites often produces an *inherent randomness* factor\* depending on the complexity of the website and the available data. While we regularly run actor tests to keep the benchmarks in check, the results may also fluctuate without our knowing. Therefore, although we strive for consistency, the results may vary from one test to another\*.

### How much will scraping Mobile.de Auto cost you?

When it comes to scraping, it can be challenging to estimate the resources needed to extract data as use cases may vary significantly. That's why the best course of action is to run a test scrape with a small sample of data and limited output. You’ll get your price per scrape, which you’ll then multiply by the number of scrapes you intend to do.

Check out the video below for a few helpful tips. And don't forget that choosing a higher plan will save you money in the long run.

### How do I use Mobile.de Auto scraper?

Mobile.de Auto scraper is designed for both experienced developers and non-coders who want to extract data from mobile.de quickly and easily. Just follow these few steps and you'll be up and running in no time!

#### 1. Create a free Apify account

Sign up for a free Apify account using your email address [here](https://console.apify.com/sign-up).

#### 2. Find Mobile.de Auto Scraper

Search for Mobile.de Auto Scraper in Apify Store or access it directly via this [store link](https://apify.com/lexis-solutions/mobile-de-auto-scraper).

#### 3. Enter a brand, model, and run the scraper

Enter the vehicle brand and model you want to scrape, then set the maximum number of listings to save. The scraper resolves the Mobile.de brand and model IDs automatically and uses the Dutch `www.mobile.de/nl/` search pages for improved stability. Apify datacenter proxy is enabled by default to keep longer runs stable. Look for clear explanations of all input fields in the [Input tab](https://apify.com/lexis-solutions/mobile-de-auto-scraper/input-schema). Click on `Start` and wait for the data to be extracted.

> Important: this actor now scrapes the Dutch `www.mobile.de/nl/` working surface instead of the old German `suchen.mobile.de` pages. The listings are the same, but output URLs use `/nl/`, and localized string fields such as `title`, `transmission`, and `features` can be returned in Dutch.

#### 4. Download your data

Once the data has been extracted, you can download it in various formats, including JSON, XML, CSV, Excel, and HTML. You can also use the API or integrate with Zapier to connect with other apps.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

        }
    }
}
```

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).
