## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).
# README
# Actor input Schema
## `countries` (type: `array`):
Select which EU markets to collect. Leave empty to collect all 28 countries.
Available markets: AT, BE, BG, CH, CZ, DE, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, HR, HU, IE, IT, LT, LU, LV, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, SE, SI, SK.
## `models_filter` (type: `array`):
Select which VW models to collect. Leave empty to collect all models.
The filter matches model names from the VW configurator. If a model isn't available in a market, it's simply skipped.
## `include_options` (type: `boolean`):
Include available options (colors, packages, extras) for each trim. Significantly increases output size and run time.
## `max_concurrency` (type: `integer`):
Maximum number of parallel requests. Higher values = faster but more resource usage.
## `headless` (type: `boolean`):
Run in background mode. Disable for visual debugging.
## `proxy_configuration` (type: `object`):
Optional. Configure if you need to route requests through specific regions.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"countries": [
"DE",
"ES",
"FR",
"IT",
"GB"
],
"models_filter": [],
"include_options": false,
"max_concurrency": 3,
"headless": true
}

# Actor output Schema
## `results` (type: `string`):
Dataset containing VW model prices, trims, engine types, and technical specifications for selected European markets.
# API
You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.
## JavaScript example
```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"countries": [
"DE",
"ES",
"FR",
"IT",
"GB"
],
"models_filter": []
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("rastriq/volkswagen-europe-scraper").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});

## Python example
```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("")
# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
"countries": [
"DE",
"ES",
"FR",
"IT",
"GB",
],
"models_filter": [],
}
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("rastriq/volkswagen-europe-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item)
