## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

### Use Cases

- **Market Research and Analysis**: Gain insights into used car market trends.
- **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor competitor listings and pricing strategies.
- **Price Monitoring**: Track price changes over time for specific models.
- **Content Aggregation**: Compile comprehensive datasets of car listings.
- **Academic Research**: Support studies on automotive markets or consumer behavior.
- **Business Automation**: Integrate with CRM systems for sales leads.

### Installation and Usage

1. Search for "Autoportal Discovery Spider" in the Apify Store.
2. Click "Try for free" or "Run".
3. Configure input parameters as needed.
4. Click "Start" to begin extraction.
5. Monitor progress in the log.
6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel).

### Output Format

The output is a JSON array of objects, each representing a car listing with fields such as `listing_id`, `title`, `url`, `image`, `price`, `monthly_payment`, `year`, `mileage`, `fuel`, `engine_power`, `gearbox`, `drive`, `body_type`, `location`, `seller`, `condition`, `extra_fuel_value`, `actor_id`, and `run_id`.

### Error Handling

- **Invalid URLs**: The spider will log errors for any invalid or unreachable URLs.
- **Data Extraction Issues**: If data cannot be extracted, the spider logs an error with details.

### Rate Limiting and Best Practices

- Ensure compliance with Autoportaal's terms of service regarding scraping.
- Use a reasonable `item_limit` to avoid overloading the server.
- Monitor logs for any rate limiting responses from the website.

### Limitations and Considerations

- The spider is designed specifically for Autoportaal; other websites may require different configurations.
- Ensure that the URLs provided are accessible and correctly formatted.
- Be mindful of legal implications when scraping data from websites.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("getdataforme/autoportal-discovery-spider").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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("getdataforme/autoportal-discovery-spider").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}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call getdataforme/autoportal-discovery-spider --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,getdataforme/autoportal-discovery-spider"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
