## 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

## YardSmart Junkyard Inventory Scraper – U Pull-It, Rupert's & other YardConnect yards

Many independent self-service junkyards run their yard on **YardSmart** and publish inventory with the **YardConnect** website plugin. This Actor pulls that **live inventory** from one or many of those yards in a single run: **year, make, model, engine, color, body style, yard location & row, date set, and photo** (when the yard uploads one).

Tested yards:

- **U Pull-It Used Auto Parts (Nebraska – Omaha & Lincoln)** – `https://upullitne.com/search-inventory/`
- **Rupert's U-Pull It** – `https://rupertsupullit.com/search-our-inventory/`

Any other yard whose inventory page uses YardConnect should work: paste its inventory page URL. The Actor fails clearly if a page isn't YardConnect.

### Use cases

- Parts pullers: one list of donor cars across several local yards.
- Daily new-arrival alerts with `monitorMode` or `newWithinDays`.
- Track what's entering independent yards in your area.

### Input

| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| siteUrls | `["https://upullitne.com/search-inventory/"]` | Required |
| makes | `["Ford","Toyota"]` | Empty = whole inventory |
| models | `["F-150"]` | Optional exact names |
| yearFrom / yearTo | `2005` | Optional |
| locations | `["Omaha"]` | Optional text match on yard location |
| newWithinDays | `7` | Only cars set in the last N days |
| monitorMode | `true` | Only cars not seen before |

### Example output

```json
{
  "yardLocation": "Lincoln",
  "make": "Toyota",
  "model": "Highlander",
  "modelYear": 2001,
  "color": "RED",
  "bodyStyle": "SUV / MPV",
  "engine": "3.0L 6cyl",
  "row": "YARD 103 5",
  "dateSet": "2026-10-30",
  "stockNumber": "000000016878",
  "imageUrl": "https://api.yardsmartapp.com/rails/active_storage/representations/redi...",
  "daysOnYard": 0,
  "siteName": "U PULL-IT USED AUTO PARTS - Nebraska",
  "sourceUrl": "https://upullitne.com/search-inventory/",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-30T16:56:25.236Z"
}
```

### Notes

- One request per yard per make (the whole matching inventory comes back at once). No browser, no proxy.
- Columns differ a little by yard (some hide color, location or stock number); missing values are `null`. VINs are not published by these yards.
- Public inventory pages only, no login. Not affiliated with YardSmart or any yard.

# 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 = {
    "siteUrls": [
        "https://upullitne.com/search-inventory/"
    ],
    "makes": [
        "Ford"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("torqueandcoin/yardsmart-junkyard-inventory-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();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "siteUrls": ["https://upullitne.com/search-inventory/"],
    "makes": ["Ford"],
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("torqueandcoin/yardsmart-junkyard-inventory-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "siteUrls": [
    "https://upullitne.com/search-inventory/"
  ],
  "makes": [
    "Ford"

}' |
apify call torqueandcoin/yardsmart-junkyard-inventory-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,torqueandcoin/yardsmart-junkyard-inventory-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).
