Find Aircraft Deals Across Every Category

• Dealer inventory — monitor new listings by make, model or region.
• Parts and project sourcing — track airframes, engines, avionics and parts.

How It Works

The Actor reads public Barnstormers category and ad pages, extracts the listing details and normalizes them into one row per aircraft. Choose categories or start URLs, add a keyword, and cap the run.

• 25 ads per category page.
• Up to 5,000 ads per run.
• Optional detail enrichment for the canonical ad title.

Scrape Cessna, Piper, Jets, Helicopters And Experimental Aircraft

Leave categories empty to walk top-level categories, or target the makes and classes you need:

• Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft and Cirrus
• Jets and turboprops
• Helicopters
• Experimental and light sport
• Warbirds and antique aircraft
• Engines, avionics and parts

Categories accept names, slugs, numeric IDs or URLs. startUrls can point directly at a category page or a single classified ad.

Price, Total Time, Avionics And Damage History

Each listing includes the asking price, seller status line and full ad text. The Actor also extracts common aircraft details when the seller publishes them:

• Make, model and year
• Total time, engine hours and airframe hours
• Avionics brands and models
• N-number and damage history
• Seller name, company and seller type
• City, state, postal code and country

Seller phone and email are returned only when the advertiser typed them into the ad text. Barnstormers hides contact details from logged-out visitors and routes inquiries through its contact form.
