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 ## Bilbasen.dk Used Cars Scraper Collect used car listings from Bilbasen.dk with URL, keyword, and location inputs. Build structured datasets with pricing, seller location, vehicle specifications, and listing metadata. Useful for market tracking, pricing analysis, sourcing workflows, and automotive research. ### Features - **Flexible search input** — Use a Bilbasen URL, a keyword, a location, or combine them. - **Rich listing output** — Get vehicle details, pricing, seller region, and listing metadata. - **Pagination support** — Crawl multiple result pages with configurable limits. - **Deduplicated dataset** — Prevent duplicate listings across pages. - **Clean data output** — Removes null values from exported records. ### Use Cases #### Market Monitoring Track newly listed cars and monitor market movement by brand, model, and region. #### Price Benchmarking Compare asking prices across categories to estimate fair value ranges. #### Inventory Research Source relevant listings quickly for dealer, broker, or procurement workflows. #### Regional Demand Analysis Measure listing volume and price differences across Danish regions. #### EV and Fuel Segment Tracking Follow electric, hybrid, and fuel-based car availability trends over time. --- ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `startUrl` | String | No | `"https://www.bilbasen.dk/brugt/bil?includeengroscvr=true&includeleasing=false"` | Bilbasen URL to start from. | | `keyword` | String | No | `"toyota"` | Optional keyword filter. | | `location` | String | No | `"Nordsjælland"` | Optional region/location input. | | `ownership` | String | No | `"retail"` | Listing type: `retail` or `leasing`. | | `results_wanted` | Integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of listings to save. | | `max_pages` | Integer | No | `5` | Maximum pages to process. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Optional Apify proxy configuration. | --- ### Output Data Each dataset item includes: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `listingId` | Integer | Unique listing identifier. | | `title` | String | Combined make, model, and variant title. | | `url` | String | Listing URL on Bilbasen. | | `make` | String | Vehicle make. | | `model` | String | Vehicle model. | | `variant` | String | Vehicle variant. | | `price` | Integer | Numeric asking price. | | `displayPrice` | String | Human-readable price text. | | `priceType` | String | Listing price type. | | `city` | String | Seller city. | | `region` | String | Seller region. | | `mileage` | String | Mileage display value. | | `fuelType` | String | Fuel type value. | | `gearType` | String | Transmission value. | | `searchPage` | Integer | Source result page number. | Additional nested fields are included for details, media, features, and raw listing attributes. --- ### Usage Examples #### URL-Based Run ```json { "startUrl": "https://www.bilbasen.dk/brugt/bil?includeengroscvr=true&includeleasing=false", "results_wanted": 20, "max_pages": 3 } ```` #### Keyword Search ```json { "keyword": "tesla", "results_wanted": 30, "max_pages": 4 } ``` #### Region + Keyword Search ```json { "keyword": "yaris", "location": "Nordsjælland", "results_wanted": 25, "max_pages": 5, "ownership": "retail" } ``` *** ### Sample Output ```json { "listingId": 6872591, "url": "https://www.bilbasen.dk/brugt/bil/toyota/aygo/10-vvt-i-x-play-x-shift-5d/6872591", "title": "Toyota Aygo 1,0 VVT-i x-play x-shift 5d", "make": "Toyota", "model": "Aygo", "variant": "1,0 VVT-i x-play x-shift 5d", "price": 64800, "displayPrice": "64.800 kr", "priceType": "Retail", "city": "Aalborg", "region": "Nordjylland", "mileage": "77.000 km", "fuelType": "Benzin", "gearType": "Automatisk gear", "searchPage": 1, "searchHits": 1356 } ``` *** ### Tips for Best Results #### Start With Focused Inputs - Use either a clear URL or a focused keyword to narrow result breadth. - Combine `keyword` with `location` when you need targeted regional output. #### Keep Runs Fast - Keep `results_wanted` near `20` for quick QA and iterative checks. - Increase `max_pages` only when broader coverage is needed. #### Improve Data Stability - Enable proxy configuration for heavier or repeated runs. - Schedule runs at intervals for consistent market snapshots. *** ### Integrations Connect extracted listings with: - **Google Sheets** — Build live market sheets. - **Airtable** — Maintain searchable car inventory tables. - **Make** — Automate downstream workflows. - **Zapier** — Trigger alerts and app actions. - **Webhooks** — Send results to custom services. #### Export Formats - **JSON** — Full structured output. - **CSV** — Spreadsheet-friendly export. - **Excel** — Reporting and team sharing. - **XML** — Legacy integration workflows. *** ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Can I run with only a URL? Yes. Provide `startUrl` and the actor will derive matching search filters. #### Can I run with only a keyword? Yes. Leave `startUrl` empty and provide `keyword`. #### Does the actor support pagination? Yes. Configure `max_pages` and `results_wanted`. #### Are duplicate listings removed? Yes. Listings are deduplicated by listing id. #### Why are some runs smaller than requested? The actor stops when no more valid listings are available within your filters or page limit. *** ### Support For issues or enhancement requests, use the Apify Console issue/contact channels. #### Resources - [Apify Documentation](https://docs.apify.com/) - [Apify API Reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) - [Apify Scheduling](https://docs.apify.com/schedules) *** ### Legal Notice This actor is intended for legitimate data collection and analysis.
