## 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.

### How much does it cost to scrape AutoScout24?

AutoScout24 Scraper uses simple HTTP requests (no browser needed), making it very efficient:

- **100 results** cost approximately **$0.01** in Apify platform credits
- **1,000 results** cost approximately **$0.05**
- **4,000 results** (maximum per search) cost approximately **$0.15**

The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly credits, which is enough for thousands of car listings.

### Tips and advanced options

- **Use make/model for precision** — Free text search returns broad results. Use the `make` and `model` fields for targeted searches.
- **Combine filters** — Narrow results with price, mileage, year, and fuel type filters for focused datasets.
- **Multi-country search** — Search across all European markets at once or target specific countries.
- **Sort by price** — Set `sort` to "price" to get cheapest/most expensive listings first.
- **Schedule runs** — Set up daily or weekly scraping to track price changes over time.

### FAQ and support

**Is it legal to scrape AutoScout24?**
AutoScout24 Scraper accesses only publicly available data that any visitor can see. It does not require login, bypass authentication, or access private data. Always review and comply with the target website's Terms of Service before use.

**What are the limitations?**
AutoScout24 returns a maximum of 4,000 results per search query (200 pages x 20 listings). Use filters to narrow your search if you need data from larger result sets.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Free text search (e.g., 'golf gti', 'tesla model 3'). Note: AutoScout24 serves make/model searches more reliably than free text — prefer Make/Model below.

Car manufacturer (e.g., bmw, volkswagen, mercedes-benz, audi, toyota). Used in URL path for precise, reliable filtering. This is the recommended way to search.

## `model` (type: `string`):

Car model (e.g., 3-series, golf, c-class). Must be used together with Make. Use URL-friendly slugs.

## `yearFrom` (type: `integer`):

Minimum first registration year (e.g., 2018).

## `priceTo` (type: `integer`):

Maximum price in EUR.

## `fuelType` (type: `string`):

Optional: your own Bright Data API key for the Web Unlocker zone. Leave empty to use the built-in unlocking service.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Legacy field, kept for backwards compatibility. Fetching now goes through the built-in Bright Data Web Unlocker, so this is ignored.

  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,studio-amba/autoscout24-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).
