GlobalAir Scraper

Scrape aircraft-for-sale listings from GlobalAir.com — one of the largest online marketplaces for used and new aircraft. Get registration numbers, total airframe time, make/model/year, engine and avionics specs, interior/exterior condition, price, location, and seller contact details for single-engine pistons, twin pistons, turboprops, jets, helicopters, and more. No login or API key required.

What this actor does

• Filter by year range
• Fetch specific listings directly by URL
• Pulls full listing-detail specs — registration number, engine, propeller, avionics, interior, exterior, maintenance history, and photos
• Empty/unavailable fields are omitted — never null placeholders

• registrationNumber — FAA N-number (or equivalent) when the listing publishes it
• serialNumber, totalTimeHours, totalTime

Note on price: Aircraft pricing on GlobalAir.com is frequently withheld pending direct buyer contact ("Please Call", "Contact Seller"). Rather than emit a misleading null or 0, this actor only includes the price field when the seller has published a real numeric price. Listings without a public price instead carry a pricingNote field describing how to inquire.

FAQ

Do I need an account or API key? No — GlobalAir.com listings are publicly accessible, and this actor requires no login, cookies, or API key.

Why is price missing from some records? GlobalAir sellers frequently gate price behind a "Please Call" or "Contact Seller" prompt rather than publishing a number. Those listings carry a pricingNote field instead of a fabricated price.

What's registrationNumber? The aircraft's official civil registration mark (the FAA "N-number" in the US, or the equivalent mark in other registries), pulled from the listing's detail page when published.

Can I browse every category in one run? Yes — set classification to "Any category" and the actor rotates through all 12 categories until maxItems is reached.

How current is the data? Listings are scraped live on every run — whatever is published on GlobalAir.com at request time.

What does totalTimeHours mean? The aircraft's total airframe flight hours since new, as published by the seller.

Are photos included? Yes, images[] contains publicly hosted listing photos (when the listing includes them).
