## Pricing

from $2.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## AutoScout24 Scraper — EU Car Listings

> **Thirdwatch portfolio:** 5K users across 97 public Actors, 2M+ records delivered, and >99% run success. [Explore all Thirdwatch Actors](https://apify.com/thirdwatch).

Scrape AutoScout24 — Europe's largest car marketplace — for structured vehicle listings. Search by keyword or paste a full filtered search URL; every row carries price, mileage, registration, fuel, gearbox, power, and seller details.

Use it for dealer price monitoring, market analysis, lead generation, and automotive datasets.

### Why this Actor

- **Structured listing JSON:** extracts the embedded listing data on search pages — no brittle DOM scraping.
- **Full spec fields:** price, mileage, first registration, fuel type, gearbox, engine cc, power, condition, and damage flag.
- **Seller intelligence:** dealer/private seller type, seller name, and seller page URL.
- **Two input modes:** free-text `queries` or exact `searchUrls` with your own filters.
- **Residential proxy built in:** AutoScout24 blocks datacenter traffic; a DE residential exit is used automatically.

### Quick start

```json
{
  "queries": ["audi a4"],
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyCountry": "DE"
}
```

Or paste a filtered search URL:

```json
{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.autoscout24.de/lst/bmw/3er?sort=price&desc=0"],
  "maxResults": 40
}
```

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---:|---|
| `queries` | No\* | Free-text searches, e.g. `audi a4`. |
| `searchUrls` | No\* | Full AutoScout24 search URLs with your own filters. |
| `maxResults` | No | Max listings total. Default: 50. |
| `proxyCountry` | No | Residential proxy country. Default: `DE`. |

\* Provide at least one of `queries` or `searchUrls`.

### Output

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `listingId`, `title`, `url` | Listing identity and link. |
| `price`, `priceFormatted`, `currency` | Price fields. |
| `mileage`, `firstRegistration` | Km driven and registration date. |
| `fuel`, `gearbox`, `engineCc`, `power` | Powertrain specs. |
| `condition`, `isDamaged` | Condition flags. |
| `sellerName`, `sellerType`, `sellerPage` | Dealer/private seller data. |
| `location`, `image` | Location and main image. |

### Notes & limitations

- Residential proxy is required — the site blocks datacenter IPs at the TLS level. Cost ~$0.004/run for a page of listings.
- Sold/removed listings may still appear briefly; check `url` liveness downstream.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Car searches like 'audi a4', 'bmw x5', 'vw golf'. Optional filters: 'audi a4 under 15000' is not supported - use searchUrls for filtered searches.

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Full autoscout24.com/lst/... URLs copied from the browser, with any filters (price, year, fuel, country) already applied.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum listings per query or URL. Each results page holds 20 listings.

## `proxyCountry` (type: `string`):

Apify residential proxy exit country. AutoScout24 blocks datacenter IPs; DE is the default home market.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "audi a4"
  ],
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyCountry": "DE"
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "queries": [
        "audi a4"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("thirdwatch/autoscout24-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "queries": [
    "audi a4"
  ]
}' |
apify call thirdwatch/autoscout24-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,thirdwatch/autoscout24-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
