## 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Nettiauto Scraper — Finnish Used Cars, Prices & Specs

Scrape **Nettiauto**, Finland's largest car marketplace, in bulk — **no login, no API key, no browser**. Point the Actor at any category or result page and it walks the pages, parses every card into flat, sortable columns, and saves rows as it goes.

> **19 columns per row** · thousands of rows per run · numeric prices, not strings · JSON, CSV, Excel or API · pay only for the rows you keep.

***

### Why this Nettiauto scraper

Nettiauto publishes everything a buyer needs on the result page — but as prose, inside a card, behind pagination. Reading it at any useful scale by hand is not realistic, and copy-paste gives you text where you need numbers.

This Actor turns those pages into a table. **`price` is a number**, not a formatted string. Location, seller and vehicle specs are their own columns instead of one blob. That is the difference between data you can pivot on and data you have to clean first.

It is built on the same engine as the rest of this fleet, which means three things you only notice when they are missing:

- **It respects the clock.** Every run carries a time budget and saves rows continuously, so a slow page never costs you the whole run.
- **One bad page does not end the crawl.** An unreachable page is retried, then skipped and logged — not treated as the end of the listing.
- **It says what it did.** Row counts, skipped pages and stop reasons all appear in the log, so a short run is always explainable.

***

### What you get

#### Market research for the Finnish car market

Nettiauto is where Finns buy and sell cars. `price` is numeric in EUR, `mileage` is in kilometres, and `make`/`model` are clean strings — enough to compare asking prices across makes and model years without any cleanup.

#### Fuel-type and powertrain trends in Finland

`fuel` and `transmission` are separate columns. Chart them over time to see how quickly the Finnish market is shifting from petrol manuals to electric automatics.

#### Dealer and inventory monitoring

Track which cars are listed, at what price, and how often inventory turns over. Schedule daily runs and diff the results to spot new listings, price drops, and disappeared ads.

#### Vehicle identification and history lookup

`vin` is included when the seller publishes it. Cross-reference VINs with a vehicle history service to add accident and service records to your dataset.

***

### Input

| Field | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrl` | string | Any Nettiauto category or result URL. The Actor paginates from here. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Stop after this many rows (default 200). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy settings. The default is fine. |

> **Note:** Nettiauto embeds every filter in the URL. Copy any search or filter result page URL and paste it as the start URL.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "startUrl": "https://www.nettiauto.com/vaihtoautot",

  "maxResults": 200,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

***

### Output

One row per listing, 19 columns:

| Column | Type | Description |

### How to use it

1. Open the Actor and paste a Nettiauto URL into **Category or listing URL**.
2. Set **Maximum results** to how many rows you want.
3. Click **Start**. Rows appear in the dataset while the run is still going.
4. Export, or schedule the run daily and diff the results to track price moves.

You can also run it from the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), the [JavaScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/) or the [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/), and wire the output into Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or your own warehouse.

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need a Nettiauto account?**

No. All data comes from public result pages — no login, no API key.

**How do I filter by make, model or fuel type?**

Nettiauto puts every filter in the URL. Use the Nettiauto website to build your search, then paste the result URL as the start URL.

**Why are fuel type and body type in Finnish?**

Nettiauto serves its data in Finnish. Bensiini = Petrol, Diesel = Diesel, Sähkö = Electric, Hybridi = Hybrid. Manuaali = Manual, Automaatti = Automatic.

**Why is `vin` often null?**

Not all sellers publish their vehicle identification number. About 30% of listings include it.

**Which currency?**

Euro (EUR), stated in the `currency` column.

**How many listings does Nettiauto have?**

Over 70,000 used cars at any given time, making it Finland's largest car marketplace.

**How much does it cost?**

You pay per row kept, plus Apify platform usage. A 1,000-row run is inexpensive; run it on a schedule and you have a continuous price feed for the cost of a coffee.

**Is scraping Nettiauto legal?**

This Actor reads only publicly available pages — the same ones anyone can open in a browser — and collects no personal data beyond the seller display name that Nettiauto itself publishes next to each listing. You are responsible for how you use the output, including compliance with Nettiauto's terms and with data-protection law such as the GDPR. If in doubt, take legal advice.

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