## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Otomoto Scraper

Scrape **car listings from [Otomoto.pl](https://www.otomoto.pl)**, Poland's largest online automotive marketplace with over 7 million monthly visits. Extract prices, specifications, mileage, VIN numbers, seller information, and photos from hundreds of thousands of car listings. No login or cookies required.

### What does Otomoto Scraper do?

This Actor extracts structured car listing data from Otomoto.pl search results. Search by keyword, filter by make, model, year, price range, and fuel type, and get clean, structured JSON output with all the details you need for market research, price comparison, or inventory monitoring.

Otomoto.pl is part of the OLX Group (Adevinta) and is the dominant car marketplace in Poland, with listings from both private sellers and professional dealers across the country. With this scraper, you can programmatically access this data via the Apify platform with built-in proxy rotation, scheduling, and API access.

### Why use Otomoto Scraper?

- **Market research** -- Track car prices across makes, models, and regions in Poland's largest automotive marketplace
- **Dealer intelligence** -- Monitor competitor inventory and pricing strategies in the Polish market
- **Price comparison** -- Find the best deals by comparing thousands of listings automatically
- **Inventory monitoring** -- Set up scheduled runs to track new listings matching your criteria
- **Export flexibility** -- Download data in CSV, JSON, Excel, or connect via API to your own tools
- **VIN tracking** -- Extract VIN numbers when available for vehicle history checks

### How to scrape Otomoto data

1. Go to the **Input** tab
2. Enter a search query (e.g., "BMW") or set make/model filters
3. Optionally set year range, price range, and fuel type filters
4. Set the maximum number of results you want
5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish
6. Download your data from the **Output** tab in JSON, CSV, or Excel format

### How to scrape a dealer's full stock

Every Otomoto dealer has a shop on its own subdomain, for example
`https://autoperfectlask.otomoto.pl/inventory`. Paste one or more of those
URLs into `dealerUrls` and the Actor returns every car that dealer has
published, paging through the stock until it runs out. The search fields are
not used in that case.

Dealer pages carry more specs than the search results do, so `bodyType`,
`color`, `doors`, `seats`, `condition` and `sellerName` come back filled.

```json
{
  "dealerUrls": ["https://autoperfectlask.otomoto.pl/inventory"],
  "maxResults": 500
}
```

The shop's home page works too (`https://autoperfectlask.otomoto.pl`); the
Actor resolves it to the inventory page itself.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | `"BMW"` | Search term (e.g., "BMW", "Audi A4", "Toyota Corolla") |

| `dealerUrls` | Array | No | | Up to 50 dealer shop URLs (e.g., `"https://autoperfectlask.otomoto.pl/inventory"`). Scrapes each dealer's whole stock and ignores the search fields above. |
| `maxResults` | Integer | No | `100` | Maximum listings to scrape (max 10,000) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | PL residential | Proxy settings |

### How much does it cost to scrape Otomoto?

This Actor uses a browser-based crawler (Playwright) with residential proxies for reliable access. It costs $0.02 per run plus $0.002 per result (per car listing) — a 1,000-listing run costs about $2.02. Dealer pages return 30 cars per request, so a dealer's whole stock is a cheap, fast run. Run usage only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED; reading it mid-run undercounts it. Using the `maxResults` parameter and specific filters (make, model, year, price) helps control run time by reducing the number of pages to crawl.

### Tips for best results

- **Use Polish residential proxies** -- Otomoto may block datacenter IPs. The default configuration uses Polish residential proxies for best results.
- **Start small** -- Test with `maxResults: 10` before running large scrapes
- **Use specific filters** -- Combining make, model, year, and price filters narrows results and reduces crawl time
- **Make/model slugs** -- Use URL-friendly slugs like "bmw", "seria-3", "volkswagen", "golf" (check Otomoto URLs for exact slugs)
- **Schedule runs** -- Set up daily or weekly runs to track price changes over time
- **Fuel type filter** -- Use the fuel type dropdown to focus on specific powertrains

### Limitations

- Polish residential proxies are recommended for reliable results
- `dealerUrls` accepts otomoto.pl dealer subdomains only; a `www.otomoto.pl` search URL is skipped with a warning in the log
- Dealer pages carry no free-text description, so `description` is empty in that mode
- Some fields (VIN, full description, all images) may require detail page visits in future versions
- Otomoto may rate-limit aggressive scraping; the actor uses moderate concurrency by default
- Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice if Otomoto updates their frontend

### FAQ and support

**Is it legal to scrape Otomoto?** This Actor extracts publicly available data from Otomoto.pl. Always respect the website's terms of service and applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

**The scraper returns no results.** Make sure you are using Polish residential proxies. Check that your search query or filters match actual listings on Otomoto.pl.

**Can I scrape specific car makes or models?** Yes, use the `make` and `model` fields with Otomoto's URL slugs, or enter a search query like "BMW Seria 3".

**Can I scrape one dealer's whole stock?** Yes. Put the dealer's shop URL in `dealerUrls`, for example `https://autoperfectlask.otomoto.pl/inventory`, and every published car comes back.

**Can I get listings from a specific region?** Region filtering is not yet supported as an input parameter, but you can filter the output data by the `location` and `city` fields.
