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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### What does Mobile.bg Scraper do? **Mobile.bg Scraper** extracts car listing data from [Mobile.bg](https://www.mobile.bg), Bulgaria's largest online vehicle marketplace with over **3 million monthly visits** and hundreds of thousands of active listings. No login or cookies required. Use it to collect structured used car data via the Apify platform with full **API access, scheduling, integrations**, and proxy rotation. ### Why use Mobile.bg Scraper? - **Market research** — Analyze Bulgarian used car prices, compare by make, model, year, and mileage - **Price monitoring** — Track price changes for specific vehicles over time with scheduled runs - **Dealer intelligence** — Study dealer inventory, pricing strategies, and listing volumes - **Data analytics** — Build datasets for automotive market analysis in Southeast Europe - **Lead generation** — Find cars matching specific criteria across Bulgaria - **Academic research** — Study depreciation curves, pricing patterns, and market trends - **Cross-border arbitrage** — Compare Bulgarian car prices with other European markets (typically 20-40% lower than Western Europe) ### How to scrape Mobile.bg 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 search: enter a make (e.g., "BMW"), model, year range, or price range. 4. Set the maximum number of results you need (default: 100). 5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish. 6. Download your data from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, Excel, or other formats. 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). ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Free text search (e.g., "BMW", "Audi A4", "Golf"). Defaults to "BMW" if no filters set. | | `make` | string | Car manufacturer slug (e.g., bmw, audi, mercedes-benz, volkswagen, opel, toyota) | | `model` | string | Car model as used in Mobile.bg URLs (e.g., 3-seriya, golf, a4) | | `yearFrom` / `yearTo` | integer | Registration year range (e.g., 2015-2024) | | `priceFrom` / `priceTo` | integer | Price range in EUR | | `mileageMax` | integer | Maximum mileage in km | | `fuelType` | string | benzin (Petrol), dizel (Diesel), gaz (LPG/CNG), elektro (Electric), hibrid (Hybrid) | | `maxResults` | integer | Max listings to return (default: 100, max: 5000) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings — residential proxies recommended | ### Output Each car listing includes the following fields. You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect via API. ```json { "listingTitle": "BMW 320 2.0d Sport", "make": "BMW", "model": "320 2.0d Sport", "year": 2018, "price": 25000, "currency": "EUR", "mileage": 155000, "fuelType": "Diesel", "transmission": "Automatic", "engineSize": "2000 cc", "power": "190 hp", "location": "Sofia", "sellerType": "Dealer", "imageUrl": "https://mobistatic3.focus.bg/mobile/photosorg/...", "url": "https://www.mobile.bg/obiava-12345678-bmw-320-2-0d-sport", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-09T12:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Data fields | Field | Description | Example | |-------|-------------|---------| | `listingTitle` | Full listing title | BMW 320 2.0d Sport | | `make` | Manufacturer | BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz | | `model` | Model name | 320, Golf, A4, Clio | | `year` | Registration year | 2018 | | `price` | Listing price (numeric) | 25000 | | `currency` | Price currency | EUR or BGN | | `mileage` | Kilometers driven | 155000 | | `fuelType` | Fuel type | Petrol, Diesel, LPG/CNG, Electric, Hybrid | | `transmission` | Gearbox type | Manual, Automatic | | `engineSize` | Engine displacement | 2000 cc | | `power` | Engine power | 190 hp | | `location` | Seller location | Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna | | `sellerType` | Seller category | Private or Dealer | | `imageUrl` | Main car photo URL | https://mobistatic3.focus.bg/... | | `url` | Full listing URL | https://www.mobile.bg/obiava-... | | `scrapedAt` | Collection timestamp | 2026-06-09T12:00:00.000Z | ### How much does it cost to scrape Mobile.bg? Mobile.bg Scraper uses Playwright (headless browser) for reliable access: - **50 results** cost approximately **$0.10** in Apify platform credits - **100 results** cost approximately **$0.15** - **500 results** cost approximately **$0.50** The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly credits, which is enough for thousands of car listings. ### Tips and advanced options - **Use make for precision** — Set the `make` field (e.g., "bmw") for targeted results instead of free text search. - **Combine filters** — Narrow results with year range, price, and mileage filters for focused datasets. - **Bulgarian URL slugs** — Model names use Bulgarian transliteration in URLs (e.g., "3-seriya" for 3 Series). - **Schedule runs** — Set up daily or weekly scraping to track price changes over time. - **Empty input works** — Running with empty input `{}` defaults to searching for "BMW" to ensure results are returned. - **Use residential proxies** — For best reliability, use Apify residential proxies (pre-configured by default). - **Cross-market analysis** — Combine with our AutoScout24, Polovni Automobili, or LaCentrale scrapers to compare prices across European markets. - **Prices in EUR and BGN** — Most listings show prices in EUR, some in BGN (Bulgarian Lev). The currency field tells you which. ### Supported vehicle categories Mobile.bg covers passenger cars and SUVs as the primary categories. The scraper focuses on the main vehicle listings which include: - All major European and Asian car manufacturers - Both private sellers and professional dealers - New and used vehicles - Prices in EUR and BGN (Bulgarian Lev, 1 EUR = ~1.96 BGN) ### About Mobile.bg Mobile.bg is Bulgaria's dominant online vehicle marketplace, operating since 2000. It is the go-to platform for buying and selling cars in Bulgaria, with over 3 million monthly visits. The site features listings from both private sellers and professional dealers across all of Bulgaria. Prices are typically listed in EUR, with BGN conversions shown alongside. Bulgaria is a popular destination for used car sourcing due to competitive pricing compared to Western European markets. ### FAQ and support **Is it legal to scrape Mobile.bg?** This scraper accesses only publicly available data that any visitor can see in their browser. It does not require login, bypass authentication, or access private data. Always review and comply with the target website's Terms of Service before use. **Does this scraper need login or cookies?** No. Mobile.bg Scraper works without any login credentials, cookies, or account setup. Just configure your search filters and run. **What about anti-bot protection?** The scraper uses Playwright (headless browser) with residential proxies to reliably access listing pages. This handles standard anti-bot measures without any extra configuration. **Can I scrape specific makes and models?** Yes. Use the `make` field with the manufacturer name (e.g., "bmw", "audi", "volkswagen") and optionally the `model` field for further filtering. **What about character encoding?** Mobile.bg uses Cyrillic text (Bulgarian language).
