They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — 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 ## Via Mobilis Scraper — Planet Trucks & Europe Camions > **Disclaimer:** Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Via Mobilis, Planet Trucks, Europe Camions, Europe Construction Equipment, or related operators or its affiliates.

Example prompts: - "Run Via Mobilis Scraper for excavators, max 40 listings, and return price, year, hours as JSON" - "Scrape Planet Trucks / Via Mobilis tractor units in details mode and list seller phones" - "Chain Via Mobilis Scraper then Truck1 Scraper to compare excavator asking prices in Europe" ### Suite next step After catalog extraction here, enrich overlapping EU truck inventory with [Truck1 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/truck1-scraper) or broaden construction coverage with [Machineryline Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineryline-scraper). ### FAQ **Which sites does this Via Mobilis scraper cover?**\ Any URL on the Via Mobilis network that shares the same catalog IDs (`ts-vi…`), including via-mobilis.com, Planet Trucks, Europe Camions, Europe Construction Equipment, forklift and agri mirrors. **Is this a Planet Trucks / Europe Camions API alternative?**\ Yes for public listing extraction into JSON/CSV via Apify — category crawls, detail enrichment, and MCP / Python / Node workflows. Respect site terms and applicable law. **Why FR residential proxy?**\ The network sits behind Cloudflare. French/EU residential sessions are more reliable for larger crawls. **Listings vs details?**\ Use `listings` for fast discovery cards; use `details` when you need model, specs, gallery, and seller phone. ### Related Actors - [Truck1 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/truck1-scraper) - [MachineSeeker Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineseeker-scraper) - [Machineryline Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineryline-scraper) - [Surplex Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/surplex-scraper) - [Mobile.de Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/mobile-de-scraper) # Actor input Schema ## `includePhones` (type: `boolean`): Off by default.
