Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## GlobalAir Scraper Scrape aircraft-for-sale listings from [GlobalAir.com](https://www.globalair.com/aircraft-for-sale) — 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 - **Browse by aircraft category** — single engine piston, twin engine piston, single engine turbine, twin turbo prop, private jet, helicopter, commercial, amphibian, experimental/kit, vintage, warbird, or light sport - **Filter by make/manufacturer** (Cessna, Piper, Cirrus, Beechcraft, Gulfstream, and more) - **Filter by keyword** (model or designation, e.g. `SR22`, `172`, `G450`) - **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 ### Output per listing - `title`, `make`, `model`, `designation`, `classification`, `year` - `registrationNumber` — FAA N-number (or equivalent) when the listing publishes it - `serialNumber`, `totalTimeHours`, `totalTime` - `price`, `priceCurrency` — included only when the seller has published a firm price - `pricingNote` — shown instead of price when the seller requires a direct inquiry (e.g. "Please Call") - `priceLastUpdated` - `location`, `sellerName`, `sellerPhone`, `sellerEmail` - `engineDetails`, `propellerDetails`, `avionicsPackage`, `avionicsDetails` - `airframeDetails`, `interiorDetails`, `exteriorDetails`, `additionalEquipment`, `maintenanceDetails` - `summary` - `images[]` — listing photos - `listingUrl`, `listingId` - `recordType: "aircraftListing"`, `scrapedAt` **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. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `search` | `search` (browse/filter) or `byListingUrls` (fetch specific URLs) | | `classification` | select | `single-engine-piston` | Aircraft category, or "Any category" to rotate through all | | `make` | string | – | Manufacturer filter (partial, case-insensitive) | | `keyword` | string | – | Filter by title/model/designation text | | `yearMin` | integer | – | Drop aircraft manufactured before this year | | `yearMax` | integer | – | Drop aircraft manufactured after this year | | `priceMin` | integer | – | Drop listings priced below this amount (USD); listings without a published price are excluded when this filter is set | | `priceMax` | integer | – | Drop listings priced above this amount (USD); listings without a published price are excluded when this filter is set | | `totalTimeMin` | integer | – | Drop aircraft with total airframe hours below this amount | | `totalTimeMax` | integer | – | Drop aircraft with total airframe hours above this amount | | `listingUrls` | array | – | Listing-detail URLs to fetch directly (mode=byListingUrls) | | `maxItems` | integer | `25` | Hard cap on emitted records (1–500) | #### Example: browse single engine pistons made by Cessna, 2010+ ```json { "mode": "search", "classification": "single-engine-piston", "make": "Cessna", "yearMin": 2010, "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example: browse private jets, no filters ```json { "mode": "search", "classification": "private-jet", "maxItems": 30 } ``` #### Example: fetch specific listings ```json { "mode": "byListingUrls", "listingUrls": [ "https://www.globalair.com/aircraft-for-sale/listing-detail/2008-malibu-matrix-pa-46r-350t-singles/141588" ] } ``` ### Use cases - **Aircraft brokers and dealers** — monitor competing listings across categories and manufacturers - **Buyers** — track newly listed aircraft matching make/model/year/budget criteria - **Market research** — analyze pricing and inventory trends across aircraft categories - **Fleet acquisition** — bulk-export candidate aircraft with full spec sheets for evaluation - **Insurance and finance** — pull registration, total time, and condition data for underwriting ### 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). # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `classification` (type: `string`): Aircraft category to browse (mode=search). Choose "Any category" to rotate through all categories. ## `make` (type: `string`): Filter to listings whose manufacturer matches this text (e.g. `Cessna`, `Piper`, `Cirrus`, `Beechcraft`, `Gulfstream`). Case-insensitive partial match. Leave blank for all makes. ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Filter to listings whose title, model, or designation contains this text (e.g. `SR22`, `172`, `G450`). ## `yearMin` (type: `integer`): Drop aircraft manufactured before this year. ## `yearMax` (type: `integer`): Drop aircraft manufactured after this year. ## `priceMin` (type: `integer`): Drop listings with a published price below this amount (mode=search only; applied server-side by GlobalAir.com). Listings with no published price ('Please Call') are excluded when this filter is set, since their price cannot be confirmed to match. ## `priceMax` (type: `integer`): Drop listings with a published price above this amount (mode=search only; applied server-side by GlobalAir.com). Listings with no published price ('Please Call') are excluded when this filter is set, since their price cannot be confirmed to match. ## `totalTimeMin` (type: `integer`): Drop aircraft with total airframe hours below this amount (mode=search only; applied server-side by GlobalAir.com). ## `totalTimeMax` (type: `integer`): Drop aircraft with total airframe hours above this amount (mode=search only; applied server-side by GlobalAir.com). ## `listingUrls` (type: `array`): Specific GlobalAir listing-detail URLs to fetch, e.g. `https://www.globalair.com/aircraft-for-sale/listing-detail/2008-malibu-matrix-pa-46r-350t-singles/141588`. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on emitted records. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "classification": "single-engine-piston", "listingUrls": [], "maxItems": 25 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `listings` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped aircraft listings. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
