Cost estimate

The scraper uses Playwright to render pages. Typical costs on the Apify platform:

• 50 listings -- ~$0.10-0.15 (under 1 minute)
• 200 listings -- ~$0.30-0.50 (2-4 minutes)
• 1000 listings -- ~$1.00-2.00 (10-20 minutes)

Costs depend on proxy usage and the number of pages loaded. Hungarian residential proxies are recommended for reliable access.

Tips and advanced options

• Empty input works -- Running the actor with no input will search for "volkswagen" by default and return up to 100 listings.
• Make + Model is more precise -- Using the Make and Model fields produces more targeted results than a free text search query.
• Combine filters -- Use year range + fuel type + price range together for highly specific searches.
• HUF to EUR -- As of 2026, 1 EUR is roughly 390-400 HUF. A car listed at 5,000,000 HUF is approximately 12,500 EUR.
• Proxy selection -- Hungarian residential proxies (HU) give the best results. The default configuration is pre-set for this.
• Large datasets -- For scraping the full market (10,000+ listings), run multiple searches by make to stay within rate limits.
• API integration -- Use the Apify API to schedule regular runs and feed data into your database, Google Sheets, or BI tools.
