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 Polovni Automobili Scraper do? **Polovni Automobili Scraper** extracts car listing data from [PlovniAutomobili.com](https://www.polovniautomobili.com), Serbia's largest online car marketplace with over **10 million monthly visits** and hundreds of thousands of active listings.

Polovni Automobili 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., "volkswagen") for targeted results instead of free text search. - **Combine filters** — Narrow results with price, mileage, year, and fuel type filters for focused datasets. - **Sort by price** — Set `sort` to "price\_asc" or "price\_desc" to get cheapest or most expensive listings first. - **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 "Golf" 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 or LaCentrale scrapers to compare prices across European markets. ### Supported vehicle categories Polovni Automobili covers passenger cars as the primary category on the search page. The scraper focuses on the main car listings search (`auto-oglasi/pretraga`) which includes: - All major European and Asian car manufacturers - Both private sellers and professional dealers - New and used vehicles - Prices in EUR and RSD (Serbian Dinar) ### FAQ and support **Is it legal to scrape Polovni Automobili?** This scraper accesses only publicly available data that any visitor can see in their browser.
