## 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.

# README

## 🚗 AutoTrack.nl Scraper

Want to find the perfect used car, or analyze the Dutch automotive market? This scraper makes it super easy!

Paste an **`input_url`** from your browser once you've already filtered on AutoTrack, **or** use **structured filters** (make, model, price, mileage, year, fuel, body, transmission, etc.) — structured filters work better for AI agents. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters. Either way, you get up to 1000 used car listings from [autotrack.nl](https://www.autotrack.nl/) with pricing, specs, and dealer details as CSV or JSON.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Car Buyers:** Monitor the market for the best deals on your next vehicle in the Netherlands.
- **Dealerships:** Keep an eye on competitors' pricing and inventory to stay competitive.
- **Market Research:** Analyze trends in the Dutch used car market (average prices, popular models, mileage vs. price).
- **Data Analysts:** Download clean, structured data for visualizations, dashboards, or predictive pricing models.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power your autonomous agents with real-time AutoTrack listings. Perfect for OpenClaw workflows and bots tracking specific vehicles.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed detailed vehicle specifications and pricing into Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines to answer complex queries about the automotive market.
- **🔗 AI Workflows:** Integrate seamlessly with LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, and other AI frameworks that need structured automotive data.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste an AutoTrack search URL (`input_url`) if you already filtered in the browser, or use structured filters (better for AI agents). `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Make, model, fuel, body, transmission, colour, province, price, mileage, and year use the **same option values as autotrack.nl**.
- ⚙️ **Rich Listings:** Extracts price, year, mileage, fuel, body, transmission, power, dealer, and images out of the box.
- ⏱️ **Sorting Options:** Traverse results by relevance, price, year, mileage, or newest ads — same sort fields as on the site.
- 🇳🇱 **Built for the Netherlands:** Covers AutoTrack’s nationwide occasion inventory, with optional province filter.

### 📦 What's inside the data?

For every single listing, you will get:

- **Core Details:** `id`, `title`, `url`, `image`
- **Technical Specs:** `make`, `model`, `fuel_type`, `body_type`, `transmission`, `power`, `mileage`, `year`, `vehicle_configuration`
- **Pricing:** `price`, `price_currency`
- **Dealer:** `dealer_name`, `dealer_city`, `dealer_province`, `dealer_url`
- **Context:** `condition`, `availability`

### 🛠️ Sort options

You can tell the scraper what order to read the listings in using the `sort_by` parameter (same fields as AutoTrack):

- **`relevance:asc`** – Most relevant
- **`prijs:asc` / `prijs:desc`** – Price low→high / high→low
- **`bouwjaar:desc` / `bouwjaar:asc`** – Newest / oldest year
- **`kilometerstand:asc` / `kilometerstand:desc`** – Mileage low→high / high→low
- **`datumGeplaatst:desc`** – Newest ads *(default)*
- **`merkModelUitvoering:asc`** – Make / model

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Input URL**

1. Open [AutoTrack aanbod](https://www.autotrack.nl/aanbod), apply filters in the browser, copy the results URL — ideally `https://www.autotrack.nl/aanbod/merk/...`.
2. Paste it into `input_url`.
3. Set `max_cars` and click **Start**.

**Option B — Structured filters (better for AI agents)**

1. Leave `input_url` empty.
2. Pick make/model and optional filters from the dropdowns (same lists as on AutoTrack).
3. Choose `sort_by`, set `max_cars` (up to 1000).
4. Click **Start** and export CSV, Excel, or JSON when done.

- `model` uses `make::slug` (double colon), e.g. `bmw::3-serie`.
- Prefer `/aanbod/...` URLs when pasting `input_url`.
- AutoTrack SRPs typically return 30 ads per page.
- `input_url` always wins over filters when provided.
