## 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

## Kwik Fit Scraper — Tyre Prices, Brands & EU Labels

Search Kwik Fit's tyre catalogue by size and UK postcode and get back tyre brands, models, fully-fitted prices, EU tyre labels (fuel efficiency, wet grip, noise), and local fitting availability — as clean JSON. No login required.

### What is Kwik Fit Scraper?

Kwik Fit (kwik-fit.com) is the UK's #1 tyre-fitting chain, with over 600 centres nationwide. Its online tyre search lets a driver enter a tyre size and postcode and see every tyre in stock at their nearest centre, priced as a fully-fitted quote — tyre plus fitting, balancing, valve and disposal.

This actor queries that same tyre-search endpoint directly and returns structured records for every tyre in stock for a given size and location — the same data the site's results page shows, without a browser.

- **Price monitoring** — Track UK tyre pricing by size, brand, and region over time
- **Regional price comparison** — Fully-fitted prices vary by centre; compare postcodes to see where the same tyre is cheapest
- **Assortment analysis** — See which brands and models Kwik Fit stocks per tyre size, and at what EU label grades
- **Buying-guide data** — Build tyre comparison tools using fuel efficiency, wet grip, and noise ratings sourced directly from the retailer
- **Sibling coverage** — Complements our `norauto-scraper` (France) and `autodoc-scraper`/`mister-auto-scraper` (EU car parts) for the wider tyres/auto-service vertical

### How to scrape Kwik Fit data

1. Provide one or more tyre sizes in `tyreSizes` (e.g. `"205/55R16"`, `"225/45R17"`) — the same format printed on a tyre's sidewall, width/profile/rim.
2. Set `postcode` to a UK postcode (full or partial, e.g. `"M1 1AE"` or `"M1"`). Kwik Fit resolves this to the nearest centre and prices tyres as fully-fitted at that specific centre, so results are genuinely local pricing, not a national average.
3. Set `maxResultsPerSize` to cap how many unique tyres you want back per size.
4. Run the actor. Each size is searched in turn against the same postcode, and results are deduplicated by Kwik Fit's internal tyre ID.
5. Read the results from the dataset — one row per tyre, ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

No proxy or login is needed: kwik-fit.com runs no anti-bot protection on this endpoint (no Cloudflare, DataDome, or CAPTCHA — confirmed live), and the tyre-search results are public, unauthenticated data.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|--------------|
| `tyreSizes` | Array of strings | No | Tyre sizes to search, e.g. `"205/55R16"`. Defaults to `["205/55R16"]` when omitted. |
| `postcode` | String | No | UK postcode used to resolve the nearest centre and its fitted pricing. Defaults to `"M1 1AE"` (Manchester) when omitted. |
| `maxResultsPerSize` | Integer | No | Maximum number of unique tyres to return per size searched (default: 100) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Optional Apify proxy. Not required for correctness — the search endpoint carries no anti-bot wall — but useful for IP diversity on very large runs. |

### Output

Each result contains:

| Field | Type | Example |
|-------|------|---------|
| `name` | String | `"Continental EcoContact 6 205/55 16V"` |
| `brand` | String | `"Continental"` |
| `price` | Number | `104.00` |
| `currency` | String | `"GBP"` |
| `tyreId` | String | `"T1051150"` |
| `sku` | String | `"2055516VECCN6"` |
| `model` | String | `"EcoContact 6"` |
| `size` | String | `"205/55 16V"` |
| `width` / `profile` / `rim` | Number | `205` / `55` / `16` |
| `speedRating` | String | `"V"` |
| `loadIndex` | String | `"91"` |
| `season` | String | `"summer"` |
| `vehicleType` | String | `"car"` |
| `runflat` / `reinforced` | Boolean | `false` / `false` |
| `electricVehicle` / `hybridVehicle` | Boolean | `true` / `true` |
| `euLabel` | Object | `{"fuelEfficiency": "B", "wetGrip": "A", "noise": "BD71"}` |
| `fittingAvailability` | String | `"Available to fit Today"` |
| `centreName` | String | `"Kwik Fit - Manchester - Salford"` |
| `centreId` | String | `"101418"` |
| `postcode` | String | `"M1 1AE"` |
| `inStock` | Boolean | `true` |
| `imageUrl` | String | Product thumbnail image URL |
| `brandImageUrl` | String | Tyre brand logo URL |
| `eprelLink` | String | Link to the EU EPREL tyre-label registry entry |
| `specs` | Object | `{"campervan": "N", "threePeakMountainSnowflake": "false"}` |
| `url` | String | Full tyre detail page URL |
| `scrapedAt` | String | ISO timestamp |

`price` is the **fully-fitted price per tyre** — the price Kwik Fit itself advertises, including fitting, balancing, valve and disposal at the resolved centre, not a bare tyre-unit price. Kwik Fit's search only ever lists tyres currently orderable at the resolved centre, so `inStock` is always `true` for a returned row rather than a guessed value.

### Cost estimate

Each tyre size searched returns its full in-stock catalogue for the given postcode in a single request — around 100 tyres per size, in one round trip. This actor charges $0.005 per run (start fee) plus $0.002 per result. A 500-result run (5 sizes) costs about $1.01. Usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run will undercount what you're billed.

### Limitations

- Pricing and stock are specific to the centre resolved from your postcode — a different postcode in the same size can return different prices and a different tyre range
- Coverage is limited to tyre sizes Kwik Fit's own search recognises (standard width/profile/rim/speed-rating format)
- Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice
- Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly

# Actor input Schema

## `tyreSizes` (type: `array`):

Tyre sizes to search, e.g. "205/55R16", "225/45R17". Each size returns the full range of tyres Kwik Fit has in stock for it at the given postcode. Leave empty to use the default size. Capped at 20 sizes per run.

## `postcode` (type: `string`):

A UK postcode (full or partial, e.g. "M1 1AE" or "M1"). Kwik Fit resolves this to your nearest centre and prices tyres as fully-fitted at that centre — pricing varies by region, so this is required for realistic results.

## `maxResultsPerSize` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of unique tyres to return per tyre size searched.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Kwik Fit runs no anti-bot protection on this endpoint, so a proxy is not required. Provide one for IP diversity on very large runs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "tyreSizes": [
    "205/55R16"
  ],
  "postcode": "M1 1AE",
  "maxResultsPerSize": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
