## Pricing

from $0.75 / 1,000 result items

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Bazos.sk Cars Scraper — Slovak used-car ads by make

Bazoš is Slovakia's best-known free classifieds site, and its Auto section
(auto.bazos.sk) holds about 240,000 ads, most of them from private sellers.
This Actor turns a make's section into a clean table: the ad title, the make,
the asking price, the seller's town and the day the ad was listed, newest
first.

Press Start. The defaults return the newest Škoda ads, with no configuration
needed.

### What a row looks like

```json
{
  "title": "Škoda Kodiaq 2.0TDi 4x4 DSG 110kw Full led DPH 90 000 km",
  "make": "Škoda",
  "price": 26700,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "city": "Čadca",
  "posted_at": "2026-09-25",
  "source_url": "https://auto.bazos.sk/inzerat/195860234/skoda-kodiaq-20tdi-sportline-4x4-dsg-2023-virtual-tazne-dph.php",
  "thumbnail_url": "https://www.bazos.sk/img/1t/234/195860234.jpg?t=1790323428",
  "external_id": "195860234"
}
```

`price` is the asking price in euros. An ad that asks for offers
("Ponúknite") has no price, not a price of zero. `make` is the section you
searched, as the site names it. For "other makes" (`ostatne`) it stays empty
rather than being guessed from the title. Year, mileage and fuel are not on
the list card, so they are not collected, and they are not guessed from the
title either. The title often carries them in the seller's own words.

Most sellers here are private people, so **no seller is published**: no name,
no phone number, no e-mail. This Actor never opens the ad page, never reads
the ad text (which is where sellers put their numbers) and never reads the
"rate this user" link that carries the seller's name. A phone number or
address typed into a title is removed. `seller_name` and `seller_type` ship
empty so that one parser works across every car Actor here.

### When an ad was listed

The list shows the day only, e.g. "\[25.9. 2026]", which becomes
`"posted_at": "2026-09-25"`. Paid TOP ads are moved back up every few days
and then show that day. For them `posted_at` is the day the ad was last moved
up, which is also where it sits in the list.

The list is newest first by that day. With `postedAfter` set, the crawl stops
at the first page that is older, so a daily run reads only a few pages.

### What people use it for

Watching private-seller asking prices for one make across Slovakia, day by
day. Sourcing cars for a dealership before they reach the dealer portals.
Counting how many Octavias or Golfs come on the market each week.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | Car makes as the site lists them: `skoda`, `volkswagen`, `bmw`, `mercedes-benz`, `alfa romeo`, `citroen` … (24 makes), or `ostatne` for every other make. Each make is its own search. At least one is needed. A make the site does not list fails the run. |
| `postedAfter` | Only keep ads listed on or after this day (ISO 8601). |
| `maxItems` | Hard stop, so your bill is predictable. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Off by default. Most runs do not need one. |

### How much one run returns

Bazoš serves 20 ads per page, and this Actor reads one page every 3 seconds,
so 1,000 ads take a little under three minutes. A make's section runs to its
end: 14,273 Škoda ads on 25 September 2026. Use `maxItems` or `postedAfter`
to keep a run short.

### Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 listings, dropping to $0.75 per 1,000 on higher Apify plans,
plus $0.005 each time a run starts. Platform usage is not passed on to you.

You are charged for rows you actually receive. If you set a maximum charge for
the run, it stops cleanly at that limit instead of overshooting it.

### Scope and limits

Public listings only, from the make sections (`auto.bazos.sk/<make>/`),
which Bazoš's robots.txt allows. The paths and parameters it disallows are
never requested. That rules out the keyword search, the place and radius
search, the price filter and sorting. So this Actor **cannot filter by place,
price or keyword**: it reads a make's whole section, newest first, and each
row carries the seller's town for you to filter on. It does not open ad pages
either, so year, mileage, fuel and the ad text are not collected.

A make's section holds whatever sellers file there. Most ads are cars, but a
few are parts or accessories for that make (a turbo for €120, a roof rack),
and now and then a car of another make. Filter on price or title if you need
cars only.

Every page is checked before its rows are used. The canonical link must match
the make and page you asked for, and the list head's "Zobrazených 21-40
inzerátov z 14 273" must match the cards on the page. If either check fails,
the run fails rather than returning rows you did not ask for and charging you
for them.

If Bazoš changes its page structure, the run goes red. It does not return
zero rows and report success. A silent scraper is worse than a broken one,
because you find out weeks later.

Every run also publishes the site's own result count next to the rows it
delivered, so you can see "100 rows of 14,273 the site reports". That number
is what the site says, not a promise about what one run returns.

### Same shape, other sites

This Actor shares its output shape with the other car Actors in this
catalogue: Otomoto (Poland), Standvirtual (Portugal), willhaben (Austria) and
Kleinanzeigen (Germany). A parser you write for one keeps working on the
others.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Makes as auto.bazos.sk lists them: Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Citroën, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Chevrolet, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Seat, Suzuki, Škoda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, or 'ostatne' for every other make. Each make is its own search. At least one is needed. A make the site does not list fails the run.

## `postedAfter` (type: `string`):

Return only ads listed (or, for paid TOP ads, last moved up) on or after this day (ISO 8601, e.g. 2026-09-20T00:00:00Z). The site shows only the day, so the cutoff is compared by calendar day. The list is newest first, so the crawl stops at the first older page.

## `sinceDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep only listings posted in the last N days, counted in UTC from the day the run starts: 1 = yesterday and today. Made for a daily schedule. Ignored when Posted after is set.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many listings. auto.bazos.sk serves 20 per page, one page every 3 seconds.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Off by default. Turn on (residential, Slovakia) only if runs start getting blocked with 403/429.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchTerms": [
    "skoda"
  ],
  "postedAfter": "",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
