## 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 Carros.com.br Vehicle Scraper do?

**Carros.com.br Vehicle Scraper** extracts **used and new car listings** from [carros.com.br](https://www.carros.com.br/) — Brazil's iCarros vehicle marketplace. Paste a search URL (for example `https://www.carros.com.br/comprar/usados`) or a single listing detail URL and export structured inventory data — **make, model, price, year, mileage, fuel, transmission, color, and 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 Carros.com.br?

- **Market research** — Track prices, mileage, and fuel types across Brazilian used-car inventory.
- **Inventory monitoring** — Watch listings as they appear on carros.com.br search pages.
- **Competitive intelligence** — Compare dealer stock by brand, model, and city.
- **Lead generation** — Collect vehicle URLs and specs for outreach or enrichment.
- **Data pipelines** — Feed structured car inventory into dashboards, alerts, or valuation tools.

- Add multiple start URLs to collect several brands or categories in a single run.

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).
