## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

### What does AMAG Switzerland Vehicle Scraper do?

**AMAG Switzerland Vehicle Scraper** extracts **used and new car listings** from [auto.amag.ch](https://auto.amag.ch/de/) — the official AMAG Group vehicle marketplace in Switzerland. Paste a search URL (for example `https://auto.amag.ch/de/` or `https://auto.amag.ch/de/audi`) or a single vehicle detail URL and export structured inventory data — **make, model, price, year, mileage, fuel type, and dealer location** — without writing any code.

Run it on the **Apify platform** to schedule crawls, export JSON/CSV/Excel, rotate proxies, monitor failures, and integrate results via API.

### Why scrape AMAG Switzerland?

- **Inventory monitoring** — Watch new and used vehicles as they appear on auto.amag.ch.
- **Competitive intelligence** — Compare Swiss dealer listings by brand, model, and location.
- **Lead generation** — Collect vehicle URLs and specs for outreach or enrichment.
- **Data pipelines** — Feed structured car inventory into dashboards, alerts, or valuation tools.

### How much does it cost to scrape AMAG Switzerland?

This Actor uses a lightweight **HTTP crawler (no browser)** and **no proxy by default**, keeping compute usage low. A typical test run with a handful of listings per URL usually finishes in under a few minutes on the Apify free tier. Larger crawls scale with the number of vehicle pages.

### Tips and advanced options

- Use brand-specific URLs (for example `/de/audi`) to focus results on one marque.
- Increase **maxItems** to follow additional result pages when available.
- Add multiple start URLs to collect several brands or categories in a single run.
