## 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.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which countries and states does this Copart scraper cover?**
It covers Copart auction yards across all 50 US states. You can pull lots nationwide or filter to a single state by its two letter code.
**How many auction lots can I collect in one run?**
There is no fixed cap. Popular searches such as a common make and model return tens of thousands of lots, and you control the volume with the Max Items setting.
**Can I filter by make, model or year?**
Yes. Use the search query for keywords, add a make and model, and set a year range. You can also sort by sale date, model year or odometer reading.
**Does the scraper return the full VIN?**
It returns the VIN exactly as Copart shows it on public search, which is partially masked. All other lot details such as damage, odometer and valuation are complete.
**What happens when a field is missing for a lot?**
Fields that Copart does not publish for a given lot, such as secondary damage or body style, are simply omitted for that record instead of being filled with placeholder values.
