## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### What does Autohauskenner.de Scraper do?

**Autohauskenner.de Scraper** exports German car-dealer profiles from [Autohauskenner.de](https://autohauskenner.de/), a dealer reputation portal covering sales, workshops, and service partners nationwide.

Paste a dealer search URL such as `https://autohauskenner.de/autohaus-suchen?q=Stuttgart` and get structured records: dealer name, address, phone, website, photo, the portal's verified rating, and imported ratings from other review platforms.

Customer reviews are an **optional add-on** written to a separate dataset.

### What can you use it for?

- Build **dealer lead lists** by city, brand, or service for automotive suppliers
- Map the **dealer network** of a region before opening a new location
- Enrich CRM records with **verified dealer addresses and phone numbers**
- Compare **workshop reputation** across a metro area
- Track **rating changes** for your own dealership and competitors
- Source **partner candidates** for warranty, parts, or fleet programmes
- Feed **automotive market research** with rating and coverage data
- Monitor **brand representation** (which brands are served where)
- Populate a **dealer finder** on your own site
- Benchmark **trust signals** such as identification and fair-play badges

### How to scrape Autohauskenner.de

1. Search on Autohauskenner, e.g. `https://autohauskenner.de/autohaus-suchen?q=Stuttgart`
2. Paste the URL into **Start URLs**
3. Set **Maximum items** to the number of dealer profiles you want
4. Optionally set **Maximum reviews per dealer** above `0` to export review texts
5. Run and download JSON, CSV, or Excel

A search for a city or service keyword typically returns dozens to hundreds of dealers, and `maxItems` caps how many are exported per start URL.

### Input

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `startUrls` | Dealer search URLs (`/autohaus-suchen?q=…`) or single `/location/{slug}` profiles |
| `maxItems` | Maximum dealer profiles per start URL |
| `maxReviewsPerBusiness` | `0` skips reviews (default); higher values export reviews per dealer |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Optional — the site works without a proxy |

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://autohauskenner.de/autohaus-suchen?q=Stuttgart" }],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "maxReviewsPerBusiness": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}
```

### Output

Dealers land in the **default dataset**:

```json
{
  "locationSlug": "stuttgart-mehrmarken-center-autohaus-stieber",
  "locationName": "Mehrmarken Center Autohaus Stieber , Stuttgart",
  "city": "Stuttgart",
  "streetAddress": "Heilbronner Str. 397",
  "postalCode": "70469",
  "phone": "0711 8871910",
  "dealerWebsiteUrl": "https://www.autohaus-stieber.de/",
  "imageUrl": "https://autohauskenner.de/storage/media/images/…",
  "verifiedRating": 4.8,
  "verifiedReviewCount": 1165,
  "externalReviewCount": 1157,
  "aggregateRating": 4.8,
  "profileUrl": "https://autohauskenner.de/location/stuttgart-mehrmarken-center-autohaus-stieber"
}
```

Reviews land in the separate **`reviews` dataset** with rating, text, reviewer, service category, vehicle brand, and Autohauskenner trust factors.

### Verified score vs published review texts

Autohauskenner shows a combined reputation score but publishes only a small share of the underlying reviews as readable text — the rest are counted totals imported from other portals. `verifiedReviewCount` is the portal's headline number, `externalReviewCount` is the imported share, and the `reviews` dataset contains only the reviews actually rendered on the dealer's ratings pages. Many dealers therefore return a rich profile and few or zero review texts.

### FAQ

**Do I need a login?** No. Only public pages are read.

**Are review dates available?** No. Autohauskenner does not publish per-review dates, so `reviewDate` is `null`; use `reviewPosition` (newest-first rank) and `scrapedAt` instead.

**Why did a dealer return zero reviews?** See the section above — that dealer's score is imported rather than written on Autohauskenner.

**How do I keep runs cheap?** Leave `maxReviewsPerBusiness` at `0` to export dealer profiles only.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,rainminer/autohauskenner-de-scraper"

    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
