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.

Building a comparison site? Tracking the EV market? This tool collects every electric vehicle listed on the EV Database with real-world range, battery capacity, acceleration, charging speed, cargo space, and regional pricing in one structured export. > **The EV Database Scraper collects electric vehicle specs with brand, model, real-world range, battery capacity, efficiency, fast-charging speed, acceleration, weight, cargo, towing capacity, and regional pricing.** ### ✨ What Does It Do - 🚗 **Vehicle specs** - brand, model, full name, availability status, and image - 🔋 **Battery + range** - usable battery capacity in kWh, real-world range, long-distance range - ⚡ **Charging data** - fast-charging speed in kW and energy efficiency in Wh/km - 🏁 **Performance** - 0-100 km/h acceleration, weight, drivetrain (AWD/FWD/RWD) - 💰 **Regional pricing** - prices in EUR, GBP, and USD depending on the region selected - đŸ“Ļ **Practical specs** - number of seats, cargo capacity, towing capacity, body style, segment - ❄ī¸ **Heat pump flag** - whether the vehicle has a heat pump for efficient winter range ### 🔧 Input - **Region** - which EV Database region to scrape (Global EUR, UK GBP, Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, United States) - **Max Items** - free users get 10 vehicles, paid users up to 1,000,000 ```json { "region": "uk", "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### 📊 Output Each record contains 25+ vehicle specs.

Long-distance range assumes highway driving at higher speeds, which drains the battery faster. ⚡ **What does fast-charging speed mean?** It's the maximum DC charging speed in kW. Higher values mean faster top-ups at rapid charging stations. 💰 **Are prices always available?** Pricing is shown for regions where the vehicle is officially sold. Some fields may be empty if pricing is not published. ### 🔗 Integrate EV Database Scraper with any app - [Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make) - automate EV catalog updates - [Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier) - alert on new model launches - [Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack) - share new EV listings with your team - [Google Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive) - maintain an EV comparison sheet - [Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) - trigger workflows on completion ### 💡 Recommended Actors Looking for more data collection tools?
