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 ## Cars & Bids Scraper Extract detailed vehicle auction data from Cars & Bids — the popular online auction platform for enthusiast cars.

They act as intermediaries, masking your original IP address and allowing you to send requests from another location. #### Why Use Proxies? - Avoid IP Blocks: By routing requests through proxies, you prevent the target website from recognizing your IP as a scraper or spammer. - Access Geo-restricted Content: Proxies let you access content or websites restricted by location. - Enhance Anonymity: Hide your actual IP, ensuring privacy while scraping or browsing. #### Types of Proxies 1. Residential Proxies - Real IP addresses provided by ISPs to home users. - They mimic regular users, making them harder to detect. - Best for: Long-term, undetectable scraping, and avoiding blocks. 2. Data Center Proxies - IP addresses from servers in data centers. - Faster and cheaper than residential proxies but easier to detect and block. - Best for: High-speed scraping, but with a higher risk of detection. 3. Mobile Proxies - IPs provided by mobile carriers (3G/4G/5G networks). - Very difficult to detect, as they appear as regular mobile users. - Best for: Mobile-related scraping or avoiding sophisticated blocks. #### Rotating Proxies vs. Straight Proxies - Rotating Proxies: Every request you send goes through a different proxy, making it harder for websites to detect patterns. - Straight Proxies: All requests are sent through the same proxy, making it easier to track your IP. ### About Rigel Bytes Rigel Bytes specializes in web scraping, automation, and data analytics.

# Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Specific Cars & Bids auction page URLs to scrape (e.g., https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3qlExmmn/1991-lamborghini-diablo). Leave empty to use search/filter options below. ## `auctionStatus` (type: `string`): Which type of auctions to scrape from the listings ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Text search to find cars (e.g., 'Porsche 911' or 'BMW M3'). The search is translated to make/model filters automatically. ## `transmission` (type: `string`): Filter by transmission type ## `bodyStyle` (type: `string`): Filter by body style ## `startYear` (type: `integer`): Minimum model year filter (e.g., 2015) ## `endYear` (type: `integer`): Maximum model year filter (e.g., 2024) ## `noReserve` (type: `boolean`): Only scrape auctions with no reserve ## `extractComments` (type: `boolean`): Extract all comments for each auction. This will take longer and produce more data. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of auction listings to scrape (0 = unlimited) ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for anti-bot protection ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [], "auctionStatus": "live", "transmission": "all", "bodyStyle": "all", "startYear": 0, "endYear": 0, "noReserve": false, "extractComments": false, "maxItems": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset containing scraped auction listings with full vehicle details # 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 = { "startUrls": [], "searchQuery": "", "startYear": 0, "endYear": 0 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("rigelbytes/carsandbids-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
