## 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.

### What you get
Each vehicle listing is returned as a clean, flat record ready for a spreadsheet:
- **Vehicle:** make, model, year, body type, color, engine size, traction and condition
- **Price:** amount and currency (USD)
- **Mileage:** kilometers on the odometer
- **Drivetrain:** transmission and fuel type
- **Location:** city and country
- **Seller:** type (dealer or private), name and the public contact phone when shown
- **Links:** direct listing URL and main image URL
You are only charged for real listings that come back. Empty runs cost nothing.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Pricing research | Dealers and appraisers benchmarking market prices by make, model and year |
| Lead generation | Sellers of parts, insurance and financing reaching active car listers |
| Market analysis | Analysts tracking supply, mileage and price trends in Ecuador |
| Dashboards | Builders feeding live inventory into their own apps |
### How to use it
1. Add the **makes or models** you want, one per line (for example `Toyota`, `Toyota Hilux`, `Chevrolet Sail`). Leave it empty to collect all listings.
2. Choose the **country**.
3. Set **Max Cars To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Can I filter by both make and model?**
Yes. Write the make on its own (`Toyota`) to get every model, or `make model` (`Toyota Hilux`) to narrow to one model. Add as many entries as you like in one run.
**Is the seller phone included?**
When the seller publishes a phone number on the listing, it is captured in `sellerPhone`. Listings without a public phone return that field empty.
**What does the price mean?**
`priceAmount` is the asking price and `priceCurrency` the currency (USD in Ecuador).
**How fresh is the data?**
Listings are read live at run time, so each record reflects the marketplace at the moment of the run (see `observedAt`).
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
