## 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 TipCars Czech Car Scraper do?

TipCars Czech Car Scraper extracts public vehicle listings from [TipCars](https://www.tipcars.com/), one of the major Czech car marketplaces. Add a TipCars search URL and get structured listings with title, price, year, mileage, dealer, and URL.

Use it to monitor Czech car inventory, compare used car prices, collect public dealer leads, or build market research datasets. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or connected to your systems through the Apify API.

### What TipCars data can you extract?

| Field      | Description                  |
| ---------- | ---------------------------- |
| `title`    | Vehicle listing title        |
| `price`    | Listed price as a number     |
| `currency` | Currency, usually CZK        |
| `year`     | Vehicle year                 |
| `mileage`  | Odometer value in kilometers |
| `dealer`   | Dealer name when shown       |
| `url`      | Public TipCars listing URL   |

### How to scrape TipCars vehicle listings

1. Open the Actor input tab.
2. Add one or more TipCars search URLs, such as `https://www.tipcars.com/osobni`.
3. Set `maxItems` to choose how many vehicles to return per start URL.
4. Run the Actor and export the dataset in your preferred format.

The Actor extracts public listing data only. It does not need TipCars account credentials.

### How much does scraping TipCars cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing when monetization is enabled. You are charged for each vehicle listing saved to the dataset, making the cost easy to estimate before running larger jobs.

With Apify, you can schedule recurring TipCars scrapes, call runs by API, store historical datasets, trigger webhooks, and integrate results with external tools.

### Input example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.tipcars.com/osobni" }],
  "maxItems": 25,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}
```

### Output example

```json

## MCP server setup

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