## 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## AutoScout24 Car Listings Scraper

Car listings from **Europe's largest car marketplace**, across all eight country sites — Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands and Luxembourg — as one clean row per listing.

**No API key. No browser. No login.**

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `make` / `model` / `variant` | Vehicle identity |
| `price` / `currency` | Numeric price, plus the localised display string |
| `mileage_km` | Numeric, normalised across sites |
| `first_registration` | `YYYY-MM` |
| `power_kw` / `power_hp` | Parsed from every localised unit (PS, ch, CV, PK) |
| `fuel` / `transmission` / `condition` | New or used, drivetrain basics |
| `city` / `zip` / `country` | Where the car is |
| `seller_type` / `seller_name` / `seller_url` | Dealer or private, with the dealer's page |
| `image_url` / `image_count` | Listing photos |
| `url` | The listing itself |

### Who uses this

- **Dealers & flippers** pricing inventory against the live market
- **Cross-border arbitrage** — the same model priced in 8 countries at once
- **Market analysts** tracking depreciation, EV adoption and stock levels
- **Lead generation** — dealer names and profile links from any search

### Input

Two ways to search. Either paste a URL:

```json
{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.autoscout24.de/lst/bmw/x5?atype=C&cy=D&pricefrom=10000&priceto=30000"],
  "maxResults": 200
}
```

…or use the structured filters:

```json
{
  "country": "de",
  "make": "bmw",
  "model": "x5",
  "priceFrom": 10000,
  "priceTo": 30000,
  "yearFrom": 2018,
  "fuel": "diesel",
  "maxResults": 200
}
```

**Pasting a search URL is the most flexible option** — build the search on the site with any filters you like, copy the URL, and every one of them is respected.

| Option | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `searchUrls` | – | Any AutoScout24 country site. Overrides the filters below |
| `country` | `de` | `de`, `at`, `be`, `es`, `fr`, `it`, `nl`, `lu` |
| `make` / `model` | `bmw` / – | e.g. `volkswagen` / `golf` |
| `priceFrom` / `priceTo` | – | Local currency |
| `yearFrom` / `yearTo` | – | First-registration year |
| `mileageFrom` / `mileageTo` | – | Kilometres |
| `fuel` | `any` | petrol, diesel, electric, hybrid, lpg, cng |
| `transmission` | `any` | manual, automatic, semi-automatic |
| `condition` | `any` | used, new |
| `zip` + `radiusKm` | – / `100` | Search around a postcode |
| `maxResults` | `100` | Split evenly across multiple search URLs |

### Notes

- **New cars have no `first_registration`** and show `mileage_km` of 0. That is real data, not a gap.
- Some listings omit power or consumption figures; those fields come back `null` rather than guessed.
- Results are paged 20 at a time. Large runs should raise `maxResults` **and** the run timeout together — if the run would exceed its timeout, the Actor stops cleanly and keeps everything collected so far rather than failing.
- A proxy is not needed for normal use; enable it for very large runs.

### Pricing

Pay per event: `listing` — one car listing.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste search URLs straight from any AutoScout24 country site — every filter the site offers is respected. If set, the filters below are ignored.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Which AutoScout24 marketplace to search. Used only when no search URL is given.

## `make` (type: `string`):

Manufacturer, e.g. bmw, volkswagen, mercedes-benz. Leave empty for all makes.

## `model` (type: `string`):

Model name, e.g. x5, golf, a-klasse. Requires a make.

## `priceFrom` (type: `integer`):

Minimum price in the site's local currency.

## `priceTo` (type: `integer`):

Maximum price in the site's local currency.

## `yearFrom` (type: `integer`):

Earliest first-registration year, e.g. 2018.

## `yearTo` (type: `integer`):

Latest first-registration year.

## `mileageFrom` (type: `integer`):

Minimum odometer reading in kilometres.

## `mileageTo` (type: `integer`):

Maximum odometer reading in kilometres.

## `fuel` (type: `string`):

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.autoscout24.de/lst/bmw/x5?atype=C&cy=D&pricefrom=10000&priceto=30000"
  ],
  "make": "bmw",

apify call straightforward_hydra/autoscout24-car-listings-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,straightforward_hydra/autoscout24-car-listings-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
