## 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.

# README

## mobile.de Scraper — Vehicles & Heavy Machinery

Collect car, truck, construction machine, forklift, agricultural vehicle, and bus listings from mobile.de, Germany's largest vehicle and machinery marketplace.

### What you can do with it

- Track asking prices for vehicles and machinery across Germany and neighbouring markets
- Monitor used construction equipment supply and pricing in one of Europe's largest markets
- Compare dealer vs private-seller pricing for the same vehicle types
- Build a pricing benchmark for fleet valuation, insurance, or cross-border trading
- Enrich listings with full technical specs and seller details using the detail enrichment option

### Filters

| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Vehicle Category | Choose the type of vehicle to collect: Car, Construction Machine, Truck, Semi-Trailer, Forklift, Agricultural Vehicle, Semi-Trailer Truck, or Bus |
| Make | Filter by brand (e.g. JCB, Caterpillar, BMW) — leave blank for all brands |
| Model | Narrow down to a specific model within a brand |
| Min Price / Max Price | Only return listings within a price range (EUR) |
| Min Year / Max Year | Only return listings within a year range |
| Max Pages | Limit how many pages of results to collect (up to 50) |
| Max Items | Set a cap on the total number of listings to collect |
| Fetch Details | Visit each listing page to collect full specs, description, and seller address — more thorough but slower |

### What you get

| Field | What it contains |
|---|---|
| ad_id | Unique listing identifier on mobile.de |
| title | Full listing headline |
| make | Brand name |
| model | Model name |
| year | Year of manufacture |
| price_clean | Asking price as a number |
| currency | Currency of the price (EUR) |
| hours_int | Operating hours (machinery) |
| km_int | Kilometres on the odometer (vehicles) |
| condition_std | Condition label (e.g. Used, New) |
| country_iso | Country code of the seller |
| location | Seller location |
| seller | Seller name |
| seller_type | Whether the seller is a dealer or private party |
| category | Vehicle category selected |
| subcategory | More specific type from the listing details |
| image_url | Link to the main listing photo |
| url | Direct link to the listing on mobile.de |
| scraped_at | Date and time the data was collected |

When **Fetch Details** is turned on, you also get:

| Field | What it contains |
|---|---|
| weight_kg | Vehicle or machine weight in kilograms |
| features | Full list of features and equipment options |
| description | Complete listing description text |
| seller_address | Dealer address (publicly shown dealers only) |
| seller_rating | Dealer rating score where available |

### Pricing

**$8.00 per 1,000 results. First 500 results free.**

Note: running with Fetch Details enabled takes longer and uses more resources — plan for roughly twice the runtime compared to a standard run.

### Legal

This scraper collects publicly available listing data only. No private seller phone numbers or personal contact details are extracted. Use responsibly and for market research purposes. Not affiliated with mobile.de.
