## 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`).

# README

## U-Pull-&-Pay Junkyard Inventory Scraper – VIN, Row & New Arrivals

Search **live U-Pull-&-Pay self-service junkyard inventory** at all 9 U-Pull-&-Pay yards (Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Houston, Orlando, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers) in one run. Get every matching donor car's **VIN, yard row, and date set on the yard**, and use **monitor mode** to get only *new arrivals* on a schedule.

U-Pull-&-Pay's own site makes you search one make at a time. This Actor searches many makes, models, years and yards at once and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, or an API.

### Who uses it

- **DIY mechanics & U-pull shoppers** – find which yard and row has a 1997–2006 Camry before you drive there.
- **Part flippers / eBay sellers** – daily feed of new arrivals for high-value models (4Runner, Tacoma, Lexus, Miata).
- **Repair shops** – source cheap used OEM parts in the Southeast, Midwest and Texas.
- **Alerts** – schedule daily with monitor mode and pipe new VINs to email, Slack, Discord or Google Sheets.
- **Market research** – track what vehicles hit salvage yards and how long they stay.

### Input

| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| makes | `["TOYOTA","HONDA"]` | Empty = all makes (full yard inventory) |
| models | `["CAMRY","4RUNNER"]` | Optional |
| years / yearFrom / yearTo | `1997`–`2006` | Optional |
| locations | `["Denver","FL"]` | Yard name, ID, city, or state. Empty = all 9 yards |
| newWithinDays | `7` | Only cars set on yard in last N days |
| monitorMode | `true` | Only VINs not seen in previous runs |
| maxItems | `500` | 0 = unlimited |

### Example output

```json
{
  "vin": "5FNRL38216B120423",
  "modelYear": 2006,
  "make": "HONDA",
  "model": "ODYSSEY",

  "url": "https://www.upullandpay.com/inventory/",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-30T16:44:06.238Z"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$1.50 per 1,000 vehicles**. A typical make/model search across all yards returns 20–300 vehicles (well under a cent).

- Data comes from U-Pull-&-Pay's public inventory search, with no login. Not affiliated with U-Pull-&-Pay or U-Pull-&-Pay, LLC.

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).
