## 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 iCar Asia Carlist Malaysia Vehicle Scraper do?

**iCar Asia Carlist Malaysia Vehicle Scraper** extracts **used and new car listings** from [Carlist.my](https://www.carlist.my/used-cars-for-sale/malaysia) — Malaysia's leading iCar Asia vehicle marketplace with thousands of active listings nationwide. Paste a search URL or a single listing detail URL and export structured data — **make, model, variant, price, year, mileage, transmission, fuel type, color, body type, location, and seller name** — without writing any code.

### Why scrape Carlist Malaysia?

- **Market research** — Track prices, mileage, and vehicle mix across Malaysia's largest car marketplace.
- **Inventory monitoring** — Watch new listings as dealers and private sellers add stock every day.
- **Competitive intelligence** — Compare dealer stock by brand, model, body type, and state.
- **Lead generation** — Collect vehicle URLs, seller names, and specs for outreach or enrichment.
- **Data pipelines** — Feed structured Malaysian car inventory into dashboards, alerts, or valuation tools.

### How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add a **Carlist.my** search URL under **Start URLs** (or a specific listing detail URL).
3. Set **Maximum items** (listings per start URL).
4. Run the Actor and download the results from the **Dataset** tab.

### Input

Supported start URLs:

- Nationwide inventory: `https://www.carlist.my/used-cars-for-sale/malaysia`
- Brand pages: `https://www.carlist.my/used-cars-for-sale/toyota/malaysia`
- Listing detail: `https://www.carlist.my/used-cars/toyota/vios/2015/12345678`

Carlist.my fronts every page with a Cloudflare security check that clears most reliably from Malaysian IP addresses. The Actor defaults to **Apify Residential proxy (country MY)** — leave the proxy configuration as prefilled unless you have your own Malaysian proxy.

### Output

Each result is a structured vehicle object. You can download the dataset in **JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML**.

```json

  "id": "12345678",

}
```

### How much does it cost?

This Actor uses a **browser-based crawler** with **Malaysian residential proxies** by default. A typical test run with a handful of listings per URL usually finishes in a few minutes.

## MCP server setup

```

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).
