## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## French EV Subsidy Eligibility Checker (ADEME)

### What it does

This Actor tells you **which electric vehicles are eligible for French purchase subsidies**, straight from the **official ADEME eligibility lists**. France only grants its EV incentives to vehicles that appear on a government-published list, and that list changes as models and manufacturing criteria evolve. This Actor makes all three lists searchable and exportable in one place:

- **`car`** — passenger cars eligible for the *leasing social* scheme
- **`van`** — light commercial vehicles (*VUL*) eligible for enhanced purchase aid
- **`truck`** — heavy goods vehicles eligible for enhanced purchase aid

Search by **brand or model**, or pass `*` to export a whole list. Each result includes the type-variant-version (TVV) homologation code and, where the source provides it, whether the **motor and battery are manufactured within the EEA** — the criteria driving eligibility.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `queries` | array of strings | no | Brands/models to check (e.g. `RENAULT`). Use `*` or leave empty to export the full list. Default `*`. |
| `vehicleTypes` | array of strings | no | Any of `car`, `van`, `truck`. Empty = all three. |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | no | Max vehicles per query and category, 1–1000. Default `100`. |

### Output

One dataset item per eligible vehicle. Every item carries a `status` field: `found` (eligible), `not_found` (no vehicle matched — i.e. not on the list) or `error`.

```json
{
  "query": "IVECO",
  "status": "found",
  "vehicleType": "truck",
  "categoryLabel": "Heavy goods vehicle — enhanced purchase aid",
  "subsidyScheme": "Aides bonifiees a l acquisition (poids lourds)",
  "isEligible": true,
  "brand": "IVECO",
  "model": "eDAILY",
  "group": "IVECO Group",
  "typeVariantVersion": "IS56CC2BA-FL21E3E",
  "eligibilityPeriod": "2026-06-01",
  "motorMadeInEea": null,
  "batteryMadeInEea": null,
  "source": "ADEME - Listes officielles des vehicules electriques eligibles aux aides (open data)"
}
````

### Use cases

- **Fleet purchasing**: check before ordering whether a van or truck qualifies for the enhanced aid, and export the full list to build a shortlist.
- **Dealership & leasing tools**: power an eligibility checker on a sales configurator, keyed on brand/model.
- **Subsidy verification**: confirm a specific TVV homologation code is on the official list before filing an aid application.
- **Market monitoring**: track which manufacturers gain or lose eligibility as the EEA manufacturing criteria are applied.

### Limitations & fair use

- Eligibility is defined by the **official ADEME lists at the moment of the run**; these are updated by the administration, and a vehicle absent today may appear later (and vice versa). Always re-run before relying on the result for a filing.
- A `not_found` result means no vehicle matched your query in that list — it is a strong hint that the model is not eligible, but check the brand spelling first.
- The `motorMadeInEea` / `batteryMadeInEea` flags are only populated in the passenger-car list; they are `null` for vans and trucks because the source does not publish them.
- This Actor reports **eligibility only**. It does not compute the subsidy amount, which depends on the buyer's situation.
- Source: ADEME open data, **Licence Ouverte / Open Licence (Etalab)**. Attribution to ADEME is expected on redistribution.

### Pricing

This Actor is **free**. You only pay your own Apify platform consumption (compute units), typically a fraction of a cent per run.

# Actor input Schema

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

One brand or model per line (e.g. RENAULT, eDAILY). Use \* (or leave empty) to export the whole eligibility list.

## `vehicleTypes` (type: `array`):

Which official ADEME lists to search: car (passenger car, social leasing), van (light commercial vehicle) and/or truck (heavy goods vehicle). Leave empty to search all three.

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of vehicles returned per query and per category (1-1000).
