## 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`).

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

AutoScout24 links (autoscout24.de, .at, .it, .fr, .nl, .be, .es, .lu or .com): a search results page copied from the address bar - its own filters and sort are kept (https://www.autoscout24.de/lst/bmw/3er?atype=C\&cy=D\&pricefrom=5000) - or a single listing (https://www.autoscout24.de/angebote/...-<listing id>). Labels such as fuel and equipment come in the site's language (autoscout24.com = English).

## `make` (type: `string`):

Optional make as it appears in AutoScout24 links (lower case, spaces as '-'). Builds a search on the site chosen below with the filters below. Examples: bmw, volkswagen, mercedes-benz, alfa-romeo

## `model` (type: `string`):

Optional model of that make as it appears in AutoScout24 links. Examples: 3er (on .de), 3-series (on .com), golf, a4

## `domain` (type: `string`):

Which AutoScout24 site runs a Make / filter search. The site sets the language of labels and the default country filter. Search URLs keep their own site.

## `countries` (type: `array`):

Cars located in these countries (AutoScout24's 'cy' filter; any of them). Checked against the country list of the result page on every run. Empty = the site's default.

## `condition` (type: `string`):

New or used cars (AutoScout24 'ustate' filter).

## `priceFrom` (type: `integer`):

Minimum price ('pricefrom'). Example: 5000

## `priceTo` (type: `integer`):

Maximum price ('priceto'). Example: 45000

## `yearFrom` (type: `integer`):

Earliest first-registration year ('fregfrom'). Example: 2018

## `yearTo` (type: `integer`):

Latest first-registration year ('fregto'). Example: 2024

## `mileageFrom` (type: `integer`):

Minimum mileage ('kmfrom'). Example: 10000

## `mileageTo` (type: `integer`):

Maximum mileage ('kmto'). Example: 100000

## `powerFromKw` (type: `integer`):

Minimum power in kW ('powerfrom', powertype=kw). Example: 100

## `powerToKw` (type: `integer`):

Maximum power in kW ('powerto'). Example: 250

## `fuelType` (type: `array`):

Only these fuels ('fuel'; any of them). Empty = all.

## `transmission` (type: `array`):

Only these gearboxes ('gear'; any of them). Empty = all.

## `bodyType` (type: `array`):

Only these body types ('body'; any of them). Empty = all.

## `sellerType` (type: `string`):

Dealers, private sellers or both ('custtype').

## `zip` (type: `string`):

Search around this postcode ('zip'; use with Radius). Example: 10115

## `radiusKm` (type: `integer`):

Distance from the postcode ('zipr'). AutoScout24 offers 10, 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400 (checked on every run). Example: 50

## `sort` (type: `string`):

AutoScout24's own result order (checked against the page's sort list on every run).

## `sortDescending` (type: `boolean`):

Highest first ('desc=1'). Newest listings first = Sort 'Newest listings' + descending.

## `customFilters` (type: `array`):

Any other AutoScout24 search parameter as name=value, copied from a search URL (one per line). Example: damaged_listing=include

## `includeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Keep only cars whose title, subtitle or description contains one of these words (checked by this Actor). Example: xenon

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Drop cars whose title, subtitle or description contains one of these words (checked by this Actor). Example: export

## `maxAgeMinutes` (type: `integer`):

Keep only listings created within this many minutes (needs Include details; with Sort 'Newest listings' + descending the search stops at the first older page). 0 = no limit. Example: 1440

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open every listing for its description, body type, colours, seats, doors, equipment, accident and service history, owners, emission class, coordinates and creation date (one extra page per car).

## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

Which description columns to fill (with Include details).

## `descriptionMaxLength` (type: `integer`):

Cut descriptions to this many characters. 0 = full text. Example: 500

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

Maximum number of cars per search URL or Make / filter search (listing URLs give one car each). Result pages (20 cars each) are read one after another until this number or the end of the results.

## `splitLargeSearches` (type: `boolean`):

AutoScout24 shows only a limited number of result pages per search (200 pages on a 63,421-car search, measured). When Max items asks for more, the search is split into price bands, each read to its end.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many listing pages are opened at the same time (each on its own proxy session).

## `incrementalMode` (type: `boolean`):

Remember the cars seen in earlier runs (in a named key-value store) and mark each row NEW, PRICE_CHANGED or UNCHANGED. Unchanged cars are skipped unless 'Emit unchanged' is on.

## `stateKey` (type: `string`):

Name of the incremental-mode memory, so different monitored searches keep separate states. Example: bmw-berlin

## `emitUnchanged` (type: `boolean`):

In incremental mode, also output cars that did not change since the last run.

## `emitExpired` (type: `boolean`):

In incremental mode, output a row (changeType EXPIRED) for every car of a search read to its end that is no longer listed.

## `skipReposts` (type: `boolean`):

In incremental mode, skip cars that the same seller re-listed under a new listing id (same make, model, version, registration, mileage, power, fuel). Without it they are marked isRepost.

## `compact` (type: `boolean`):

Only the main columns (id, URL, title, make, model, price, mileage, registration, fuel, gearbox, power, location, seller type, image, date).

## `excludeEmptyFields` (type: `boolean`):

Leave out columns that are empty for a car (rows then differ in their columns).

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

AutoScout24 blocks many non-European and datacenter addresses (CloudFront 403). A German residential proxy is the default and was measured to work.

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.autoscout24.de/lst/bmw?atype=C&cy=D"
    }

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,neuro-scraper/autoscout24-cars-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
