## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## Vehicle Damage Assessment

Analyze vehicle damage photos with AI-powered vision analysis. Detect dents, scratches, cracks, and estimate repair complexity — perfect for insurance claims and auto body shop assessments.

### Features

- **Multi-part analysis**: Identify damage location, type, and severity
- **Repair complexity estimation**: Low, medium, or high complexity assessment
- **Safety concerns detection**: Identify structural, airbag, and glass hazards
- **Confidence scoring**: AI confidence level (0.0 to 1.0) for each analysis
- **Batch processing**: Analyze up to 20 vehicle photos in one run
- **Local AI processing**: Qwen2.5-VL vision model via ntriq AI infrastructure

### Input

Provide either a single image URL or array of URLs:

```json
{
  "imageUrl": "https://example.com/vehicle-damage.jpg"
}
````

Or for batch processing:

```json
{
  "imageUrls": [
    "https://example.com/vehicle-1.jpg",
    "https://example.com/vehicle-2.jpg"
  ],
  "maxImages": 20
}
```

### Output

Each analysis produces a structured damage assessment:

```json
{
  "imageUrl": "https://example.com/vehicle-damage.jpg",
  "status": "success",
  "damageDetected": true,
  "overallSeverity": "moderate",
  "damages": [
    {
      "area": "front_bumper",
      "damageType": "dent",
      "severity": "moderate",
      "description": "Significant dent in center of front bumper"
    },
    {
      "area": "hood",
      "damageType": "scratch",
      "severity": "minor",
      "description": "Surface scratch on hood, paint exposed"
    }
  ],
  "estimatedRepairComplexity": "medium",
  "safetyConcerns": false,
  "safetyNotes": "",
  "confidence": 0.87,
  "model": "Qwen2.5-VL",
  "processingTimeMs": 2341
}
```

### Legal Notice

#### NOT a Professional or Insurance Assessment (IMPORTANT)

- This tool provides AI-assisted PRELIMINARY damage analysis for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
- Results are NOT a substitute for professional vehicle inspection or certified damage appraisal.
- DO NOT use this tool's output for insurance claims, legal proceedings, or official valuations.
- Insurance claims require assessment by a licensed insurance adjuster in your jurisdiction.
- Using AI-generated damage estimates in insurance claims may result in claim denial or fraud allegations.

#### Before You Upload

- REMOVE or BLUR license plates, VIN numbers, and any personally identifiable information from photos before uploading.
- Vehicle registration numbers and VINs are considered personal data under GDPR and CCPA.
- We do not extract, store, or process license plate or VIN information, but you should redact them as a precaution.

#### Accuracy Limitations

- AI analysis accuracy varies significantly by image quality, angle, lighting, and damage type.
- The model cannot detect hidden, internal, or structural damage not visible in photos.
- Severity estimates and repair complexity ratings are rough approximations only.
- Always consult a certified mechanic or body shop for actual repair assessments.

#### Liability

- The developer assumes NO liability for any decisions made based on this tool's output.
- This includes but is not limited to: insurance claims, repair decisions, vehicle purchases, safety determinations, and legal proceedings.
- Users are solely responsible for verifying results with qualified automotive professionals.

#### Data Processing

- Vehicle images are processed on our local AI server and immediately discarded after analysis.
- No images are stored, cached, or shared with third parties.
- We do not retain any vehicle identification information.

### Use Cases

✅ **Recommended:**

- Initial damage assessment for insurance claims
- Quick reference for auto body shops
- Vehicle condition documentation
- Fleet management damage tracking
- Quick quotes before professional inspection

❌ **Not Recommended:**

- Official insurance appraisals (use certified adjusters)
- Safety certifications or compliance (use inspectors)
- Legal/liability determinations (use professionals)
- Single image reliance (multiple angles recommended)

### Example Workflow

1. Photograph vehicle damage from multiple angles
2. Provide URLs to clear, well-lit images
3. Receive AI assessment with confidence scores
4. **Verify results with a professional inspector**
5. Use for preliminary documentation or quick estimates
