## 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

## Autobazar.eu Scraper

Collect used car listings from autobazar.eu, Slovakia's largest car marketplace. Covers passenger cars from private sellers and dealers nationwide, with make, model, year, mileage, and price detail.

### How to use it

Point the scraper at autobazar.eu with a brand keyword (e.g. `"bmw"`, `"skoda"`) to filter server-side, or leave it empty to scrape the general listing feed. Listing data comes straight from the page's own embedded JSON, so no browser rendering is needed.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | Car brand to filter by, e.g. `"bmw"`, `"audi"`, `"skoda"` |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | Result limit (default: 100) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings for better reliability |

Defaults to filtering by `"bmw"` if nothing is provided.

### Output

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `carTitle` | String | `"BMW X2 xDrive20i AT 141kW192HP A8"` |
| `make` | String | `"BMW"` |
| `model` | String | `"X2"` |
| `year` | Integer | `2020` |
| `mileage` | Integer | `83200` |
| `fuelType` | String | `"Benzín"` |
| `transmission` | String | `"8-st. automatická"` |
| `price` | Number | `24700` |
| `currency` | String | `"EUR"` |
| `city` | String | `"Poltár"` |

```json
{
    "carTitle": "BMW X2 xDrive20i AT 141kW192HP A8",
    "make": "BMW",
    "model": "X2",
    "year": 2020,
    "mileage": 83200,
    "fuelType": "Benzín",
    "transmission": "8-st. automatická",
    "bodywork": "Combi",
    "enginePower": 141,
    "price": 24700,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "city": "Poltár",
    "url": "https://www.autobazar.eu/detail/bmw-x2-xdrive20i-at-141kw192hp-a8/AesHzQztGQG/",
    "listingId": "AesHzQztGQG",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-07T09:31:01.666Z"
}
```

### Cost

No browser overhead — extracts data directly from the page's own embedded JSON. Cost estimate: roughly **$0.0005 per result** (about $0.50 per 1,000 listings) including default Apify proxy usage. Usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run will undercount cost, so check the final run status before comparing spend.

### Things to keep in mind

- Requires residential proxy (default prefill) — the site's WAF rejects Apify's automatic/datacenter proxy pool with a 502
- Slovak-language field values (fuel type, transmission, body style)
- Prices are in EUR
- `searchQuery` filters by brand server-side when it matches a known make slug; unrecognized values fall back to the general feed with no filtering
- Only domestic (Slovak) listings are covered — the site's separate cross-border import section is out of scope
- Pagination follows the site's own `?page=` param, up to 50 pages per run

### How to scrape Autobazar.eu data

1. Go to this actor's page on the [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store).
2. Click **Try for free** to open it in Apify Console.
3. Configure your brand filter and set the maximum number of results.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect it to your workflow via API.

You can also schedule regular runs, set up webhooks for real-time notifications, or integrate the results directly into your application using the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api).

### Tips and tricks

- **Start small**: test with `maxResults: 5` before running large scrapes.
- **Use brand names as they appear on the site**: e.g. `"bmw-alpina"` for BMW Alpina, not just `"alpina"`.
- **Schedule runs**: set up recurring runs to keep your pricing data fresh automatically.
- **Integrate via API**: use the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api) or [client libraries](https://docs.apify.com/api/client) to fetch results programmatically.
- **No login required**: this actor scrapes publicly available data without needing an account.

### Limitations

- Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
- Brand filtering relies on matching the site's own URL slugs; unusual brand names may not filter correctly.
- Very large scraping jobs may be slower due to pagination limits.
- Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.

### Features

- **No login required** — scrapes publicly available data from Autobazar.eu without needing credentials or cookies.
- **Structured output** — results are returned as clean JSON objects, ready for processing.
- **Pagination handling** — automatically follows multiple pages of results.
- **Proxy support** — configurable proxy settings for reliable, large-scale scraping.
- **Flexible input** — filter by brand or scrape the full feed.
- **Scheduled runs** — run on a schedule to keep your dataset up to date automatically.
- **API access** — integrate results into your workflow using the Apify API or webhooks.

Yes. After each run, you can download results in CSV, JSON, or Excel format directly from Apify Console. You can also connect results to Google Sheets using Apify integrations.

**What if the scraper stops working?**

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}

```

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).
