## 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

## Otomoto Scraper

> **Unofficial.** This Actor is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or in any
> way officially connected to Otomoto. "Otomoto" is a trademark of its respective owner and is
> used here only to describe what this tool reads. It reads the same public pages a browser does.

Otomoto Scraper searches [Otomoto.pl](https://www.otomoto.pl), Poland's car marketplace, for
**passenger cars** by make and model (search terms such as `golf` or `seria 3` are matched to the site's makes and models), and returns each listing with price, make, model,
version, year, mileage, fuel, gearbox, engine power and capacity, town and voivodeship, seller type
and, for dealers, the dealer's name and website.

### What data can you extract from Otomoto?

The results Otomoto itself returns for your search, up to your row and page caps, with the vehicle specs as structured fields
rather than text: `year`, `mileageKm`, `enginePowerHp` (horsepower, the KM Otomoto shows) and
`engineCapacityCm3` are numbers. Otomoto's own signals come through too: its price indicator
(`priceEvaluation`), a price drop with the previous price when the listing has one, gross or net price with its badges,
and the CEPIK-verified flag. The Actor reads public search pages directly, so it needs no browser.

### Why scrape Otomoto?

- **Cars by make and model.** Search terms are matched to Otomoto's makes and models: `golf` is the
  Volkswagen Golf, `seria 3` the BMW 3 Series, `bmw` every BMW. You fetch only that make or model.
- **No proxy required by default.** Direct connection by default; proxy settings are available
  if needed.
- **Filters run on Otomoto's side.** Price, production year, private sellers and electric fuel are
  sent to Otomoto, so a narrow search fetches only what matches.
- **Newest first by default.** With Recommended order Otomoto repeated listings between pages
  (25 pages gave 819 listings, 673 distinct); the Actor drops repeated ids either way.
- **Dealer or private.** `sellerType` says which; dealer rows carry the public dealer name.

### How to scrape Otomoto

1. Put search terms in `searchQueries` (a make, a model, or both: `golf`, `bmw`, `volkswagen passat`), or leave it empty and give a `make` (and `model`).
2. Optionally set a price range, years, fuel or seller type.
3. Run it. Results land in the dataset.

#### Input

| Field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | array | Optional. One search per term, matched to Otomoto's makes and models (for example `golf`, `seria 3`, `bmw`). A term that names no make or model is skipped; if none does, the run fails with examples. Empty browses all passenger cars. |
| `make` | string | Optional make slug as in Otomoto URLs: `bmw`, `volkswagen`, `mercedes-benz`. |
| `model` | string | Optional, needs a make: `seria-3`. |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | integer | Optional, PLN. |
| `minYear` / `maxYear` | integer | Optional production-year range. |
| `fuelType` | string | `any` or `electric`. |
| `sellerType` | string | `any`, `private`, or `professional` (dealers; applied to the rows after fetching). |
| `sortBy` | string | `newest` (default), `priceAsc`, `priceDesc`, `relevance`. |
| `requireKeywordMatch` | boolean | Drops listings missing any search word in title, make, model and version. Default off; search terms already select a make or model. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Cap on rows. Default 1000. |
| `maxPages` | integer | Pages per search, 32 listings each plus one pinned. Default 50. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Off by default. |

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["golf"],
    "maxPrice": 60000,
    "minYear": 2018,
    "maxItems": 200
}
```

#### Output

One row, from a platform run on 2026-11-11 (keyword `golf`; the description is shortened). A field the listing does not give is `null`, for example `priceDropPercent` and `priceDropLowestPrice` (empty in all 10 rows of that run):

}
```

### Notes and limits

- **No phone numbers or e-mails.** The search pages carry none. Only the public dealer name and
  website are returned; private sellers have no name in the data.
- **`sellerType` has three values.** `crosslisted` marks an ad that Otomoto shows from OLX; the
  data does not say who sells it, and `originAdId` is the OLX ad id.
- **One pinned listing per page.** Otomoto adds one promoted listing to every results page;
  `isPromotedTopAd` marks it. A listing is returned once per run.
- **`description`** is the short text shown in search results, often empty.
- **Search terms are makes and models, not free text.** A word that is neither (a trim such as `gti`, a nickname such as `vw`) matches nothing; use the make and model, then read `version` in the rows. A model name that several makes use (`mini`) searches each.
- **Passenger cars only.** Other Otomoto categories are not covered.
- **Fuel filter** offers electric only; every row carries `fuelType`, so filter other fuels in the output.
- **A run that returns zero rows fails** when a page could not be read, and succeeds with a message
  when Otomoto answered and nothing matched.

### How much does it cost to scrape Otomoto?

Pay-per-event: you pay per result written to the dataset, with no subscription. The current price
is on the Actor's Pricing tab.

### FAQ

**Is a proxy required?** No proxy is required by default. An optional proxy setting is available.

### Privacy & Compliance

This Actor reads only publicly accessible pages and returns the public data they show. It sends no login.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Optional. One search per term. Terms are matched to Otomoto's makes and models: 'golf', 'seria 3', 'bmw', 'volkswagen passat'. A term that names no make or model is skipped; if none does, the run fails and says so. Leave empty to browse all passenger cars with the filters below.

## `make` (type: `string`):

Optional. The make as Otomoto writes it in its URLs, lower case with hyphens, for example bmw, volkswagen, mercedes-benz. With search terms it keeps only that make; without, it narrows the search itself.

## `model` (type: `string`):

Optional, needs a make. The model as Otomoto writes it in its URLs, for example seria-3 for a BMW 3 Series. With search terms it keeps only that model; without, it narrows the search itself.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Left out of the request when empty, never sent as 0.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Left out of the request when empty.

## `minYear` (type: `integer`):

Optional, for example 2018.

## `maxYear` (type: `integer`):

Optional.

## `fuelType` (type: `string`):

Any fuel, or electric only. Electric is the one fuel value measured on Otomoto; every row carries its own fuelType, so other fuels can be filtered from the output.

## `sellerType` (type: `string`):

Any seller, private sellers only (filtered by Otomoto), or dealers only (applied to the rows after fetching, so a dealers-only search reads the same pages as an any-seller search).

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Order only. Default newest: with Recommended order Otomoto repeats listings between pages (25 pages gave 819 listings but only 673 distinct), while newest first paged without repeats on the first 3 pages measured.

## `requireKeywordMatch` (type: `boolean`):

Drop listings whose title, make, model and version together are missing any word of the search term. Off by default: search terms are already matched to a make or model, so every listing returned is of that make or model.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Cap on rows pushed across all search terms.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

32 listings per page, plus one pinned listing. The walk also stops at the last page of results.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Left off by default; turn on only if you see request failures.
