## Pricing

from $0.63 / 1,000 results

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`).

[![Crawlee](https://img.shields.io/badge/Powered%20by-Crawlee-blueviolet.svg)](https://crawlee.dev)

A high-speed, production-grade Apify Actor designed to scrape unlimited vehicle listings, technical specifications, seller contact details, and market evaluations from **[Mobile.de](https://www.mobile.de)** — Germany and Europe's largest automotive marketplace.

### ⚡ Key Advantages & Why It Beats Alternatives

- **🚀 Pure HTTP Fast-Path Engine**: Powered by Crawlee's `CheerioCrawler` and `got-scraping`. Bypasses heavy, memory-intensive headless browsers to deliver lightning-fast response times and minimal memory consumption.
- **🛡️ Advanced Anti-Bot Circumvention**: Utilizes TLS fingerprinting, modern HTTP/2 framing, and rotating browser headers specifically tuned to glide through Akamai Bot Manager defenses.
- **💰 Fair Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing**: Never overpay for idle compute or fixed subscriptions. You only pay for what you extract:
  - **`$0.005`** per Actor start
  - **`$0.0008`** per vehicle record extracted
  - **`$0.0005`** for monitoring/enrichment checks
- **📋 Richest Data Extraction**: Extracts 25+ attributes per vehicle including make, model, gross/net price, mileage, first registration, fuel type, transmission, horsepower, dealer phone number, address, geolocation, seller ratings, features, and high-resolution images.
- **🔄 Intelligent Pagination**: Seamlessly traverses multi-page search results and supports custom search queries or direct listing URLs.
- **🛡️ Guaranteed Zero-Defect Delivery**: Features robust parsing across JSON-LD schemas, Next.js React Server Components (RSC) states, and SSR DOM trees with automatic fallback resilience.

### 💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

This actor operates on a pay-as-you-go **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing model. You only pay for what you extract:

| Event Name | Purpose | Price (USD) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| **`apify-default-dataset-item`** | result | `$0.0008` | Single result in the default dataset. |
| **`additional-data`** | Additional cost for monitoring mode | `$0.0005` | Charged for each item result check |
| **`apify-actor-start`** | Actor Start | `$0.005` | Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). |

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).
