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 ## Kavak Cars Scraper Extract car listings from Kavak and Carvak catalog pages with clean structured output ready for analysis, pricing comparison, lead generation, and inventory tracking. ### Why use this actor - Collect car listings at scale from Kavak catalog pages. - Use one catalog URL input, including messy and filtered URLs. - Keep runs focused with page and result limits. - Get dataset output with pricing, model details, full media URLs, and listing metadata. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `url` | string | Kavak or Carvak catalog URL, for example `https://www.kavak.com/ae/preowned` or `https://www.carvak.com/tr/satilik-arac` with any filters. | | `results_wanted` | integer | Maximum number of cars to save. | | `max_pages` | integer | Maximum number of pages to visit in a single run. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Apify Proxy is recommended for reliability. | ### Example input ```json { "url": "https://www.kavak.com/ae/preowned", "results_wanted": 25, "max_pages": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Output Each dataset item includes listing fields from Kavak plus run context. Typical fields include: - `id` - `url` - `title` - `subtitle` - `mainPrice` - `symbol` - `location` - `badge` - `badges` - `image` - `image_url` - `image_gallery_urls` - `priceTag` - `labelTop` - `priceTop` - `labelBottom` - `priceBottom` - `footerInfo` - `footerTag` - `analytics` - `page` - `position` - `query_id` - `index_used` - `results_quantity` - `source_listing_url` - `source_page_url` ### Example output item ```json { "id": 510359, "url": "https://www.kavak.com/ae/preowned/nissan-x-trail-suv-2018", "title": "Nissan X-Trail", "subtitle": "2018 . 64,120 km", "mainPrice": 46950, "symbol": "AED", "location": "Dubai", "image": "https://images.prd.kavak.io/cars/12345/cover.jpg", "image_url": "https://images.prd.kavak.io/cars/12345/cover.jpg", "image_gallery_urls": [ "https://images.prd.kavak.io/cars/12345/cover.jpg", "https://images.prd.kavak.io/cars/12345/gallery_2.jpg" ], "priceTag": "Good price", "page": 1, "position": 6, "results_quantity": "820 Results", "query_id": "fb9a4fb4-c5ea-4cf8-af09-a1f8d9cf96ea", "source_page_url": "https://www.kavak.com/ae/preowned?page=1", "source_listing_url": "https://www.kavak.com/ae/preowned" } ``` ### Notes - `INPUT.json` is used as a local fallback for development runs. - In Apify Console runs, Actor input values always take priority. # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): Kavak catalog URL. Example: https://www.kavak.com/ae/preowned or a filtered URL. ## `results_wanted` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of cars to save. ## `max_pages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of pages to visit. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Use Apify Proxy for best reliability. ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://www.kavak.com/ae/preowned", "results_wanted": 20, "max_pages": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # 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 = { "url": "https://www.kavak.com/ae/preowned", "results_wanted": 20, "max_pages": 5 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("shahidirfan/kavak-cars-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 📖?
