## 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

## Carvana Scraper

Scrape used-car inventory from [Carvana.com](https://www.carvana.com) — the online used-car retailer. Powered by Carvana's public search API for fast, reliable results.

### What it extracts

For each vehicle:

- **year**, **make**, **model**, **trim**
- **price** (plus MSRP and KBB value)
- **mileage**, **MPG**, **fuel type**
- **exterior color** and interior color
- **availability** (Purchasable / Purchase Pending / On Demand)
- **image** (vehicle hero photo)
- **URL** (direct link to the Carvana vehicle detail page)
- VIN, stock number, body style, seating capacity

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array | List of searches. Each is a make, optionally with a model: `"Tesla"`, `"Tesla Model 3"`, `"Toyota RAV4"`. Leave empty to browse all inventory. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max vehicles to return across all queries (default 100). |
| `maxPrice` | integer | Optional. Only keep vehicles at or below this price. |
| `minYear` | integer | Optional. Only keep vehicles from this model year or newer. |
| `maxMileage` | integer | Optional. Only keep vehicles at or below this mileage. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional proxy. Not required — the API is open. |

#### Example

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["Tesla Model 3", "Toyota RAV4"],
    "maxResults": 200,
    "maxPrice": 35000
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item is one vehicle:

```json
{
    "vehicleId": 4532537,
    "stockNumber": 2005011665,
    "vin": "19XFC2F63KE006975",
    "title": "2019 Honda Civic LX",
    "year": 2019,
    "make": "Honda",
    "model": "Civic",
    "trim": "LX",
    "price": 18990,
    "mileage": 72755,
    "exteriorColor": "Silver",
    "availability": "Purchasable",
    "imageUrl": "https://vexgateway.fastly.carvana.io/2005011665/standardizedHero.jpg",
    "url": "https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/2005011665"
}
```

### Use cases

- Used-car price monitoring and arbitrage
- Market analysis by make/model/trim
- Inventory tracking and deal alerts
- Feeding vehicle data into pricing models

### Pricing

Pay-per-result. You are charged a small fee per vehicle returned plus a tiny per-run start fee. Failed runs that return no data are not billed.
