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.

Yad2.co.il is Israel's most popular online classifieds marketplace, with vehicles being one of its largest categories. The platform hosts tens of thousands of private and dealer car listings, making it a valuable source for market research, price benchmarking, and inventory tracking. Manually collecting this data is impractical at scale — the **Yad2 Cars Search Scraper** automates extraction from any search results page. --- ### Overview The **Yad2 Cars Scraper** targets vehicle search listing pages on Yad2 and returns structured records for each car ad. It is built for: - **Car dealers** monitoring market prices and competitor inventory - **Price comparison platforms** aggregating Israeli automotive listings - **Market researchers** studying used car trends by manufacturer, model, or region - **Data engineers** building automotive datasets for ML or analytics pipelines The scraper handles pagination via URL parameters, supports bulk URL input, and continues gracefully through any failed pages when configured to do so. --- ### Input Format ```json { "urls": ["https://www.yad2.co.il/vehicles/cars?page=3"], "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 50 } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `urls` | `array` | `["https://www.yad2.co.il/vehicles/cars"]` | One or more Yad2 car search page URLs. Supports pagination via `?page=N`. Add URLs one by one or use bulk edit. | | `ignore_url_failures` | `boolean` | `true` | If `true`, the scraper skips failed URLs and continues the run instead of stopping. | | `max_items_per_url` | `integer` | `20` | Maximum number of listings to collect per URL. Increase for wider coverage per page. | > **Tip:** To scrape multiple pages, add each paginated URL separately (e.g., `?page=1`, `?page=2`, `?page=3`) or adjust `max_items_per_url` to match the listings per page. *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "token": "zxho7i9d", "order_id": 56903603, "ad_type": "commercial", "category_id": 1, "subcategory_id": 21, "priority": 4, "price": 57900, "address": { "area": { "id": 17, "text": "אזור נתניה והסביבה" } }, "meta_data": { "cover_image": "https://img.yad2.co.il/Pic/202605/06/1_3/o/y2_1pa_010783_20260506124334.jpeg", "images": [ "https://img.yad2.co.il/Pic/202605/06/1_3/o/y2_1pa_010783_20260506124334.jpeg", "https://img.yad2.co.il/Pic/202605/06/1_3/o/y2_1pa_010066_20260506124341.jpeg", "https://img.yad2.co.il/Pic/202605/06/1_3/o/y2_1pa_010463_20260506124346.jpeg", "https://img.yad2.co.il/Pic/202605/06/1_3/o/y2_1pa_010660_20260506124353.jpeg", "https://img.yad2.co.il/Pic/202605/06/1_3/o/y2_1pa_010931_20260506124402.jpeg", "https://img.yad2.co.il/Pic/202605/06/1_3/o/y2_1pa_010053_20260506124413.jpeg", "https://img.yad2.co.il/Pic/202605/06/1_3/o/y2_1pa_010011_20260506124417.jpeg" ] }, "tags": [ { "name": "תא מטען גדול", "id": 206, "priority": 1 }, { "name": "גלגלי מגנזיום", "id": 208, "priority": 1 }, { "name": "נסיעת מבחן", "id": 216, "priority": 1 } ], "packages": { "is_trade_in_button": true }, "customer": { "id": 4130846, "agency_name": "auto perfect", "agency_logo": "//images.yad2.co.il/Pic/TradeMiniSite/e1b703c3-2d77-4b7f-8932-997cb16cc596.jpeg?t=1778313295150" }, "manufacturer": { "id": 21, "text": "יונדאי" }, "model": { "id": 10291, "text": "טוסון" }, "sub_model": { "id": 104994, "text": "4X2 Premium אוט׳ 2.0 (155 כ״ס)" }, "vehicle_dates": { "year_of_production": 2016 }, "engine_type": { "id": 1101, "text": "בנזין" }, "engine_volume": 1999, "hand": { "id": 2, "text": "יד שניה" }, "agent": { "id": 4130846, "name": "בן", "phone": "055-4538743", "second_name": "משרד", "second_phone": "055-4538749", "is_virtual_phone_number": true, "agency_name": "auto perfect", "agency_logo": "//images.yad2.co.il/Pic/TradeMiniSite/e1b703c3-2d77-4b7f-8932-997cb16cc596.jpeg?t=1778313295150" }, "from_url": "https://www.yad2.co.il/vehicles/cars" } ``` Each listing returns up to 20 structured fields: #### Ad Identification | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Token` | Unique internal identifier for the listing on Yad2 | | `Order ID` | Ordering/sequence reference used by the platform | | `Ad Type` | Type of advertisement (e.g., private seller, dealer, promoted) | | `Priority` | Listing priority tier — higher values typically indicate paid promotion | #### Classification | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Category ID` | Top-level category code (vehicles) | | `Subcategory ID` | Subcategory code (e.g., private cars, SUVs, commercial) | | `Tags` | Labels attached to the listing (e.g., "price reduced", "new listing") | | `Packages` | Promotion packages applied to the ad | #### Pricing & Location | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Price` | Listed sale price in ILS (Israeli Shekel) | | `Address` | Geographic location of the vehicle or seller | #### Vehicle Specifications | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Manufacturer` | Car brand (e.g., Toyota, Hyundai, Kia) | | `Model` | Model name (e.g., Corolla, Tucson) | | `Sub Model` | Trim level or variant (e.g., Sport, Elite, Executive) | | `Vehicle Dates` | Year of manufacture and/or registration dates | | `Engine Type` | Fuel type — petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric, etc. | | `Engine Volume` | Engine displacement in cc (e.g., 1600, 2000) | | `Hand` | Ownership history — number of previous owners (1st hand = new/near-new) | #### Seller & Meta | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `Customer` | Seller information — private individual or dealer profile | | `Agent` | Listing agent or dealership contact details, if applicable | | `Meta Data` | Additional structured metadata attached to the listing by Yad2 | *** ### How to Use 1. **Find your search URL** — Go to `yad2.co.il/vehicles/cars`, apply filters (brand, region, price range), and copy the URL. 2. **Add to input** — Paste into the `urls` array. For multi-page scraping, add each `?page=N` variant separately. 3. **Set item limit** — Adjust `max_items_per_url` based on how many listings per page you need (typically 20–40 per Yad2 page). 4. **Run and export** — Start the actor and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. **Common issues:** - Ensure the URL points to a **search/listing page**, not an individual car detail page. - If listings appear incomplete, check whether Yad2 requires a regional filter in the URL. - Set `ignore_url_failures: true` for bulk multi-page runs to avoid stopping on transient errors. *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Price benchmarking:** Compare prices across manufacturers, models, and ownership history hands - **Inventory monitoring:** Track new listings matching specific criteria daily - **Market trend analysis:** Identify which car models are most frequently listed in specific regions - **Lead generation:** Dealers can identify private sellers for potential trade-in outreach *** ### Conclusion The **Yad2 Cars Search Scraper** turns Israel's largest vehicle marketplace into a structured data source — no manual browsing, no copy-pasting. With flexible URL input, item limits, and fault-tolerant crawling, it is a practical tool for anyone needing reliable, up-to-date Israeli automotive market data. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): Add the URLs of the cars list urls you want to scrape.
