## 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

##### PakWheels Scraper

Easily extract **used car listings from [PakWheels](https://www.pakwheels.com/)** into structured datasets.\
This **PakWheels Scraper** collects all available vehicle details from list pages, and optionally visits each car’s detail page for richer data.\
Results can be downloaded in **CSV, Excel, JSON, or accessed via API** — perfect for **car dealers, exporters, investors, and market analysts** who need up-to-date insights from Pakistan’s largest automotive marketplace.

##### Who Is This For?

- **Car dealers & flippers** → Track new listings daily and find undervalued vehicles.
- **Exporters** → Collect Pakistani car data for shipping and resale opportunities.
- **Market analysts** → Monitor prices, trends, and supply by city or body type.
- **Data scientists** → Build car valuation or prediction models using structured datasets.

##### How It Works

1. Provide one or more **PakWheels list URLs** (e.g., `https://www.pakwheels.com/used-cars/search/-/` or city-based listings).
2. Choose **Scrape Mode**:
   - **LIST\_ONLY** → faster, collects data directly from list pages.
   - **LIST\_AND\_DETAIL** → slower, visits each listing for enriched details.
3. Set **Max Items** to limit total results across all pages.
4. Run the scraper — data is saved automatically to the Apify dataset, ready to download.

##### Scraped Car Data Will Include:

- Title & Ad Link
- Year, Make, Model, Trim
- Price (PKR) & Currency info
- Mileage (km)
- Fuel type & Engine CC
- Transmission
- Color
- Body type
- City / Location
- Description (short & long)
- Thumbnail & All image URLs
- VIN / ID (if available)
- Specs (parsed from detail pages when enabled)

##### Output Formats

- **CSV / Excel** → for dealers & analysts
- **JSON / NDJSON** → for developers
- **API** → connect to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make.com, BI dashboards
