## 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

## CarGurus Scraper

Scrape used car listings from **CarGurus.com** search results. Give it one or more search-result URLs (make, model, or location search) and get structured data for every listing: price, mileage, VIN, color, transmission, dealer name, dealer phone, dealer address.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | One or more CarGurus.com search-results URLs, e.g. `https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Toyota-Camry-d3116` |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max listings to return in total (default 100) |

Build any search URL on cargurus.com (make, model, location, price range) in your browser, then paste it into `startUrls`. Each start URL returns the listings CarGurus shows on that page; add more URLs (different makes/models/zip codes) for more volume.

### Output

```json
{
    "sku": "453692259",
    "name": "2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV",
    "brand": "Chevrolet",
    "model": "Bolt EUV",

```

### Common uses

- Used car price research and market monitoring
- Dealer lead generation (name, phone, address per listing)

# 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 = {
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Toyota-Camry-d3116"
    ],
    "maxItems": 100
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gio21/cargurus-scraper").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);
});
