## 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`).

### ❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

#### Is there a Tap.az API? Do I need an API key?

> Tap.az has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Tap.az API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP:
> `claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/tap-az-scraper"`

#### Why do I get only 10 ads?

> On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

#### How many ads are there?

> About 460,000 as of November 2026, about 407,000 of them in Baku.

#### Are prices in manat?

> Yes, as a number in `price`, with `currency` "AZN".

#### Do I get the seller's phone number?

> Store phones, yes: stores publish them on their store page. Private sellers' numbers are hidden on the site, and this Actor does not collect them.

#### Few cars

> Tap.az has about 5,700 car ads; most Azerbaijani cars are sold on other sites. Wide filters still give every one.

#### Keyword ads without the word in the title

> Tap.az also matches the seller's text, so an ad may only name the word in its description.

#### Is this an official Tap.az tool?

> No. It is independent and not affiliated with Tap.az. It reads only data Tap.az publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Tap.az's terms and the laws that apply to you.
