## 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.

## Mobile.de Scraper — German Used Car Listings, Prices, Specs & Dealer Data

> **Disclaimer:** This is an unofficial integration developed independently. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by mobile.de GmbH or any of its subsidiaries.
>
> **mobile.de** and related names are trademarks of mobile.de GmbH. Data is read from publicly accessible vehicle listings. No mobile.de account login is required.
>
> This Actor is provided **for informational, research, and price monitoring purposes only**. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable laws, mobile.de's terms of use, and your organization's policies.

Scrape **mobile.de** — Germany's largest online car marketplace with 1.4M+ active vehicle listings. Extract structured used-car and new-car data: make, model, year, mileage, fuel type, transmission, power, emission class, gross and net prices with VAT, mobile.de **price rating** with market threshold bands, full equipment lists, plain-text descriptions, dealer name, address, phone numbers, customer ratings, geocoordinates, and high-resolution images.

Search by **make and model** in plain text (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, …), filter by price, first-registration year, mileage, fuel, and transmission — or paste a pre-filtered **mobile.de search URL** from your browser. Supports cars, motorbikes, motorhomes, trucks, vans, construction machines, trailers, and agricultural vehicles.

Runs on **128–512 MB RAM** with fast structured-API extraction — no headless browser required. Export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset.

**Best for:** used-car price research, dealer inventory monitoring, vehicle sourcing, automotive market analytics, cross-border trade data, and bulk listing pipelines.

### When to use this Actor

- **Used-car price intelligence** — Build valuation datasets with prices, price ratings, mileage, and specs across any make/model on mobile.de.
- **Dealer inventory monitoring** — Track stock levels, newly listed vehicles, and listing updates via `createdAt` and `modifiedAt` timestamps.
- **Vehicle sourcing & arbitrage** — Filter by price, year, mileage, and fuel type; sort by newest; export dealer leads with phone numbers and GPS coordinates.
- **Exact browser-filter replication** — Apply any complex filter on mobile.de, copy the search URL, and paste it into Start URLs; all parameters are translated automatically.
- **German automotive market analytics** — Collect price-rating threshold bands per listing for market-band analysis without manual research.

### When not to use this Actor

- **Private seller personal data** — Names and phone numbers of private sellers (Privatanbieter) are excluded. Dealer business contact data only.
- **Account features** — No login, favorites, saved searches, or messaging.
- **Non-listing content** — Built for vehicle listings, not dealer review pages or editorial articles.

### Key Features

- **Full vehicle specs** — 30+ fields: first registration, mileage, power (kW/PS), cubic capacity, fuel type, transmission, emission class, HU date, previous owners, interior, color, consumption (EnVKV), and more.
- **Price transparency** — Gross price, net price, VAT rate, price type, and mobile.de market price rating (`VERY_GOOD_PRICE`, `GOOD_PRICE`, …) with six threshold bands.
- **Plain-text make/model** — Enter `BMW` / `320` or `Mercedes-Benz` / `A 200`; the Actor resolves official mobile.de catalog IDs automatically.
- **All vehicle categories** — Cars, motorbikes, motorhomes, trucks over 7.5 t, vans, construction machines, trailers, agricultural vehicles.
- **Dealer profiles** — Business name, address, phone numbers, spoken languages, member-since date, and customer rating score with recommendation rate.
- **Geocoordinates** — Latitude and longitude per listing for mapping and radius analysis.
- **High-resolution images** — All listing photos as direct CDN image links (1024 px).
- **Bulk scraping** — Up to 100 listings per search page; parallel detail fetching (`maxConcurrency`); tested at 500+ listings per run.
- **Proxy-ready** — Germany RESIDENTIAL proxy is enabled by default for stable Apify Cloud access.

### FAQ

#### What is mobile.de and why scrape it?

mobile.de is Germany's leading online vehicle marketplace — cars, vans, trucks, motorbikes, and commercial vehicles from private sellers and dealers nationwide. This Actor turns listing pages into structured data for price monitoring, inventory analysis, and automotive research.

#### How is this different from a generic web scraper?

Built specifically for mobile.de: automatic make/model ID resolution, mobile.de price ratings, 30+ vehicle attributes, dealer contact parsing, and stable structured-API extraction that survives frontend redesigns.

#### Do I need proxies?

Germany **Residential** proxies with country **DE** are the default. Keep them enabled for Apify Cloud runs — datacenter IPs are frequently blocked with HTTP 403.

#### Can I paste my exact mobile.de search URL?

Yes. Configure filters on mobile.de in your browser, copy the search URL, and add it to `startUrls`. Price, year, mileage, fuel, transmission, damage, and sort parameters are translated automatically.

#### Does it collect private sellers' phone numbers?

No. Private seller (Privatanbieter) personal contact data is excluded. Dealer business name, address, and phone numbers are included.

#### How many listings can I scrape in one run?

Set `maxItems` to your target (e.g. 500 or 1000). Search returns up to 100 listings per page; details are fetched in parallel. A 500-listing run with full details completes in a few minutes on 256 MB RAM.

#### What output formats are supported?

Results are saved to the Apify dataset. Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect dataset integrations and webhooks.

#### Which German car brands are supported?

All brands on mobile.de: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Opel, Ford, Porsche, Toyota, Hyundai, Skoda, Renault, and every other make in the mobile.de catalog — plus motorbikes, trucks, and commercial vehicles.
