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). # README ## Mudah.my Malaysia Car Listings Scraper Scrapes car listings from [Mudah.my](https://www.mudah.my) — Malaysia's largest marketplace — with pagination and optional seller phone number extraction. Built by **Providence Automations** — [providenceautomations.com](https://providenceautomations.com) ### Features - ✅ **JSON-LD extraction** — reliable structured data parsing, no fragile CSS selectors - ✅ **Pagination** — automatically clicks through multiple search result pages - ✅ **Phone numbers** — extracts seller phone numbers from ad description text - ✅ **Cloudflare bypass** — uses Playwright browser automation on Apify's platform - ✅ **Clean output** — title, price (formatted + raw), URL, image, condition, phone ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchUrl` | string | `https://www.mudah.my/malaysia/cars-for-sale` | Search URL to scrape | | `maxPages` | integer | 3 | Max search pages to crawl | | `maxItems` | integer | 40 | Max listings to collect | | `extractPhones` | boolean | false | Visit detail pages to extract phone numbers from ad descriptions | ### Output Each listing includes: - `title` — e.g. "2022 Honda CITY 1.5 V (A)" - `price` — e.g. "MYR 54,500" - `priceRaw` — raw integer for sorting/filtering - `url` — direct link to listing - `imageUrl` — listing photo - `condition` — Used / Recon / New - `phone` — seller phone number (if extraction enabled), e.g. `+60174442832` - Numbers are extracted from the ad description body where sellers often include them - Apify's platform auto-masks PII on display (shown as `+6017****2832`) but the full number is stored in the dataset ### Phone Extraction Details Phone numbers are extracted from the **ad description text** embedded in Mudah.my's `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON. Many sellers include their contact number in the listing description (e.g., "Contact Raymond 017 444 2832"). The extraction also checks for: - WhatsApp links (`wa.me` / `api.whatsapp.com`) - `tel:` protocol links - JSON-LD structured data - Raw HTML regex patterns for Malaysian mobile numbers **Note:** Full phone numbers are stored in the dataset. Apify's platform applies automatic PII masking on API responses, so numbers may appear partially masked when viewed through the Console — the raw data export (CSV/JSON download) contains the complete number. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrl` (type: `string`): The Mudah.my car search URL to scrape (e.g. https://www.mudah.my/malaysia/cars-for-sale) ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of search result pages to scrape ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listings to collect ## `extractPhones` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, visits each listing page to extract seller phone numbers (slower, more Apify credits) ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrl": "https://www.mudah.my/malaysia/cars-for-sale", "maxPages": 3, "maxItems": 40, "extractPhones": false } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchUrl": "https://www.mudah.my/malaysia/cars-for-sale", "maxPages": 3, "maxItems": 40, "extractPhones": false }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("providence_automations/mudah-malaysia-cars").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
