## 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.

# README

## AutoscraperCL — Chile Used Car Scraper

Search used cars across Chile's two biggest marketplaces **simultaneously** with a single query.

### What it does

AutoscraperCL scrapes **Chileautos.cl** and **Yapo.cl** at the same time and returns a unified, structured list of car listings filtered by your criteria. Results are available as JSON in the dataset, and as **CSV** and **Excel** files ready to download.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `marca` | string | ✅ | Car brand (e.g. `toyota`, `hyundai`, `chevrolet`) |
| `modelo` | string | ✅ | Car model (e.g. `corolla`, `tucson`, `sail`) |
| `anno` | integer | ❌ | Specific year (e.g. `2020`) |
| `precioMaximo` | integer | ❌ | Max price in CLP (e.g. `15000000`) |
| `maxResultados` | integer | ❌ | Max results per platform (default: `50`, max: `200`) |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "marca": "toyota",
  "modelo": "corolla",
  "anno": 2020,
  "precioMaximo": 15000000,
  "maxResultados": 50
}
````

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `titulo` | Full listing title |
| `precio` | Price in CLP |
| `año` | Year |
| `kilometraje` | Mileage |
| `vendedor` | Seller name |
| `telefono` | Seller phone number |
| `link` | Direct link to the listing |
| `plataforma` | Source (`Chileautos.cl` or `Yapo.cl`) |

#### Example output

```json
{
  "titulo": "2020 Toyota Corolla 2.0 XEI CVT",
  "precio": "$13.500.000",
  "año": "2020",
  "kilometraje": "45.000 km",
  "vendedor": "Automotora Premier",
  "telefono": "+56912345678",
  "link": "https://www.chileautos.cl/...",
  "plataforma": "Chileautos.cl"
}
```

### File exports

After each run, two files are available in the **Key-Value Store**:

- `resultados.csv` — UTF-8 CSV compatible with Excel
- `resultados.xlsx` — Formatted Excel with filters, colored rows, and clickable links

### Pricing

**$5.00 per 1,000 car listings** returned.

A typical search returning 50 cars costs **$0.25**.

### Use cases

- **Car buyers** — Find the best deal across all platforms without visiting each site
- **Car dealers** — Monitor competitor pricing in real time
- **Auto brokers** — Source inventory faster
- **Researchers** — Analyze the Chilean used car market

### Supported platforms

| Platform | URL |
|----------|-----|
| Chileautos.cl | chile's largest dedicated auto marketplace |
| Yapo.cl | Chile's largest general classifieds site |

### Notes

- Phone numbers are scraped when publicly visible on the listing
- Results are deduplicated across platforms
- Playwright-powered — handles JavaScript-rendered pages
- Runs in ~2-3 minutes for a standard query
