## 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).

## Mobiauto.com.br Cars Search Scraper: Extract Brazilian Vehicle Listings with Pricing & Dealer Data

### Introduction

Mobiauto.com.br stands as Brazil's premier online automotive marketplace, connecting millions of car buyers with dealerships and private sellers across the country. As one of the largest vehicle listing platforms in Latin America, Mobiauto hosts extensive inventories of new and used cars, providing detailed specifications, pricing, and dealer information that's crucial for automotive market research and competitive analysis.

For automotive dealers, market analysts, price comparison services, and automotive industry professionals, accessing this structured vehicle data is essential for understanding market trends, competitive pricing, and inventory availability across Brazil. Manual data collection from Mobiauto's extensive listings is impractical, especially when monitoring thousands of vehicles across multiple brands, models, and regions.

The Mobiauto.com.br Cars Search Scraper automates this process, enabling systematic extraction of vehicle listings with complete details including pricing, mileage, dealer information, warranties, and vehicle features. Whether you're tracking competitor pricing, analyzing market inventory, or building automotive databases, this scraper provides efficient access to Brazil's automotive marketplace data.

### Scraper Overview

The Mobiauto.com.br Cars Search Scraper is a specialized automotive data extraction tool designed to systematically collect vehicle listings from Brazil's leading car marketplace. This scraper employs advanced web automation to navigate through search results and extract comprehensive vehicle and dealer information efficiently.

Key advantages include residential proxy support for reliable Brazilian platform access, configurable retry mechanisms for handling network issues, and flexible pagination controls for managing large vehicle inventories. It's particularly valuable for automotive dealerships monitoring competitor pricing, market researchers analyzing Brazilian vehicle trends, inventory managers tracking availability, and pricing intelligence teams conducting competitive analysis.

The scraper handles various URL formats from Mobiauto's platform, maintains high data accuracy, and implements ethical scraping practices with rate limiting. Users can extract specific vehicle categories, price ranges, or geographic markets based on their research needs.

### Input and Output Details

### Usage Guide

#### Scraping with URLs

Navigate to Mobiauto.com.br and construct targeted search URLs using the platform's filters for brand, model, location, price range, year, or mileage. Copy resulting URLs into the `urls` array.

**Best Practices:**

- **URL Construction**: Use Mobiauto's native filters to create precise searches before scraping
- **Pagination**: Include page numbers in URLs for systematic coverage (e.g., `/pagina-2`, `/pagina-3`)
- **Sort Parameters**: Utilize `?sort=` parameters for specific ordering (price, date, mileage)
- **Geographic Targeting**: Use state/city filters in URLs for regional analysis
- **Brand/Model Specificity**: Construct URLs targeting specific manufacturers or models for focused research

**Testing Strategy:**

1. Test single URLs before batch processing
2. Verify data structure matches expectations
3. Monitor for any access restrictions or rate limiting
4. Start with smaller `max_items_per_url` for initial validation

**Common URL Patterns:**

- Search results: `https://www.mobiauto.com.br/comprar/carros/brasil/pagina-X`
- Brand specific: `https://www.mobiauto.com.br/comprar/[brand]/brasil`
- Model specific: `https://www.mobiauto.com.br/comprar/[brand]/[model]/brasil`
- Location filtered: `https://www.mobiauto.com.br/comprar/carros/[state-city]`
- Price sorted: URLs with `?sort=3` (price low to high) or `?sort=4` (price high to low)

**Troubleshooting:**

- **Access Issues**: Switch to Brazilian proxies if encountering blocks
- **Timeouts**: Reduce `max_retries_per_url` if experiencing persistent delays
- **Data Quality**: Verify URLs point to active listings, not expired pages
- **Format Changes**: Check if Mobiauto's URL structure has changed if scraping fails

#### Pagination Strategy

**Using Page Parameter:**

- Set `page` to start from specific pagination point
- Increment systematically for complete coverage
- Track last successful page to resume interrupted scrapes
- Calculate total pages needed based on results per page

**Systematic Coverage:**

1. Identify total available results for your search
2. Calculate required pages (total results ÷ items per page)
3. Set appropriate `max_items_per_url` (typically 20-50)
4. Use `page` parameter to continue from specific points
5. Monitor extraction to avoid duplicate data

#### Proxy Configuration

**Brazilian Proxy Benefits:**

- Optimal access to Mobiauto.com.br servers
- Avoids regional restrictions
- Faster response times due to geographic proximity
- Better success rates for large-scale extraction

**Residential Proxy Advantages:**

- Higher reliability for automotive marketplace scraping
- Better detection avoidance
- Essential for sustained, large-volume extraction
- Reduced blocking risk during extensive data collection
