## 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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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).

### What is a COE?
In Singapore you cannot simply buy a car. First you need a COE, a Certificate of Entitlement, which is the government-issued licence that grants the right to own and use a vehicle for 10 years. COEs are limited in number and sold through an open bidding exercise that runs twice a month. The winning bid price, known as the premium, is one of the most closely watched economic figures in Singapore because it directly sets the cost of owning a car and often moves by tens of thousands of dollars between exercises. This actor turns the full official record of those exercises into clean, structured data.
### COE categories
| Category | Covers |
|---|---|
| Category A | Cars up to 1600cc and 130bhp |
| Category B | Cars above 1600cc or 130bhp |
| Category C | Goods vehicles and buses |
| Category D | Motorcycles |
| Category E | Open category, usable for any vehicle type |
### How it works
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| `vehicleClass` | Keep only one COE category by exact name (for example Category A). |
| `month` | Keep only one bidding month by exact YYYY-MM value (for example 2024-01). |
| `searchQuery` | Free-text filter across all fields. |
| `sortByNewest` | Return the most recent bidding exercises first. |
| `maxItems` | Cap the number of records collected. |
The data comes from the official Singapore open data portal. Anonymous access is rate limited, so large pulls are paced automatically.
### Use cases
| Use case | Who it is for |
|---|---|
| Track COE premiums over time | Journalists and analysts |
| Alert on the latest bidding results | Car buyers and dealers |
| Model the cost of car ownership | Finance and research teams |
| Compare demand across categories | Automotive market researchers |
| Build a COE price history dataset | Data teams |
### Frequently Asked Questions
**What does COE mean?**
COE stands for Certificate of Entitlement, the licence you must win at auction before you are allowed to own a car in Singapore for 10 years.
**Where does the data come from?**
The official data.gov.sg COE bidding results dataset. It is the authoritative public record of every bidding exercise.
**Does it need a login or API key?**
No. It reads the public open data portal with no account and no key.
**How fresh is it?**
COE bidding runs twice a month and the source dataset is updated after each exercise, so new premiums appear roughly twice a month.
**What is the premium?**
The premium is the winning bid price in SGD. It is the number people mean when they talk about "the COE price".
