Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## What does DubiCars Scraper do? DubiCars Scraper for cars allows you to scrape any cars from **chosen urls** from [DubiCars.com](https://www.dubicars.com/). Here are main functionalities: 1. Extract all DubiCars data from **chosen urls** 2. Extract all DubiCars data the last X days from now from **chosen urls** 3. Extract any DubiCars **individual** cars 4. Export any DubiCars data in many formats, also easy to integrate with your own external systems within minutes ## Input Full input sample: ```json { "start_urls": [{ "url": "https://www.dubicars.com/dubai/new"}, { "url": "https://www.dubicars.com/search?view=&ms=yes&o=&did=&ul=AD&ma=&mo=&b=&set=bu&c=new&eo=export-only&stsd=&cr=USD&cy=&co=&s=&gi=&f=&g=&l=2&st=&gen=0" } ], "scrape_page_limit": 1, "ad_detail_page_urls": "https://www.dubicars.com/2022-victory-v2-448-aed-monthly-3-yr-warranty-insurance-registration-748194.html,https://www.dubicars.com/2023-mercedes-benz-s-400-s400d-import-japan-vcc-733650.html" } ```` - `run_mode` By default, test mode is enabled, for the real scraped, please select Production option (prod) - `start_urls`should be cars search page **without page=your-page or sort=your-sort**. i.e. https://uae.DubiCars.com/cars/used-cars/. - `scrape_page_limit`if this data is set, only the first `scrape_page_limit` of `start_urls` will be scraped. To remove this limit, remove this `scrape_page_limit`from input - `ad_detail_page_urls`If you just want to get **only specific cars** corresponding to provided urls, then setup value for this input, **delimiter ","** - `proxy_settings` To **avoid getting blocked**, setup proxy for running scraper, delimiter ",". i.e. http://username:password@hostname:port,http://auto:apify\_proxy\_EaAFg6CFhc4eKk54Q1HbGDEiUTrk480uZv03@proxy.apify.com:8000 > Note: It's important to setup proxy to avoid getting blocked by DubiCars.com. I am currently using PacketStream for my other scrapers, and would recommend it for their pricing and quality is quite good.
