Machinio Scraper

Scrape new & used industrial equipment listings from machinio.com — one of the largest marketplaces for used machinery, with millions of listings across construction, agriculture, material handling, machine tools, trucks, and dozens of other verticals. No login, no cookies, no API key required.

What this actor does

• Browse by category — 84 built-in categories, from broad verticals (Construction, Agriculture, Machine Tools) down to specific equipment types (Excavators, Forklifts, CNC Lathes, Dump Trucks, Wood Sawmills, ...)
• Search by keyword — free-text search across manufacturer, model, and title, optionally narrowed by location
• Fetch specific listings — pass a list of listing URLs or bare numeric IDs to scrape exactly those
• Filter results — by manufacturer, country, year range, price range (USD), and condition (new / used / refurbished / salvage)
• Full listing detail — optionally visit each listing page to pull condition, serial number, stock number, seller info, full description, and every photo (on by default)
• Empty fields are omitted — every output record only contains fields Machinio actually published for that listing; nothing is guessed or fabricated

FAQ

Do I need to log in or supply cookies? No — Machinio's listing pages are public.

Why do some listings have no price? Many sellers set "Contact Seller for Price" instead of a public price; those records get priceOnRequest: true instead of a fabricated number.

What currency are prices in? Machinio's default storefront shows USD; the actor only parses $X USD values. Listings priced in other currencies without a USD figure are emitted without a price field.

Why is condition sometimes missing? It's only shown on the listing detail page. Set fetchFullDetails: true (the default) to populate it.

Why do some records have a non-machinio.com listingUrl? Machinio aggregates listings from partner dealers and auction houses; some cards link straight to the partner's own site instead of a Machinio-hosted page. Those records still carry every field Machinio's own search card exposed (title, price, manufacturer, model, location, images) — the actor just doesn't attempt detail-page enrichment (condition, serial number, seller info) on non-Machinio domains.

Can I combine manufacturer and country filters? Machinio's category-browse URLs support one or the other, not both at once — manufacturer takes priority when both are set.
