## Pricing

from $1.25 / 1,000 scraped bimedis listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

| Labexchange (lab) | Bimedis (clinical marketplace) | Exapro |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| [Labexchange Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/labexchange-scraper) | **Bimedis Scraper** ◄── you are here | [Exapro Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/exapro-scraper) |

This **Bimedis scraper** (Bimedis API alternative) extracts **new and used medical equipment** listings into clean JSON on Apify — asking prices, condition, year, brand, model, specs, probes, seller, and images. Pull ultrasound, imaging, dental, endoscopy, surgery, ICU, and related categories via category crawl, keyword search, auctions, or product URLs. Run from **Python**, **Node.js**, **cURL**, or **MCP** / AI assistants and export the dataset to CSV / Excel.

Built for **medical equipment dealers**, **hospital procurement**, **appraisers**, and **market-data teams** who need secondary-market price comps — not RFQ-only OEM catalogs.

### When to use this Actor

Use the **Bimedis Scraper** when you need:

- **Used medical equipment prices** — asking USD plus seller currency (EUR and others)
- **Ultrasound / imaging comps** — GE, Philips, Siemens, Mindray, Samsung and similar brands when listed
- **Condition & year** — New, Used, Refurbished, Demo, Used - Like New
- **Full PDP enrichment** — specifications table, included probes/components, warranty months, stock flags
- **Seller intelligence** — public name, company, rating, profile URL (no gated emails/phones)
- **Medical equipment auctions** — `listingType: auction` for timed lots

Ideal for dealer sourcing, procurement shortlists, valuation comps, and scheduled inventory monitors.

### When not to use this Actor

- **OEM RFQ catalogs without live asking prices** — different job than this marketplace Actor
- **European lab warehouse stock** — start with [Labexchange Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/labexchange-scraper)
- **Private contact harvesting** — email/phone reveal is gated on-site; public seller fields only

### Data pipeline

```
Input                              Mode                         Output

- **Keyword search** — brand/model discovery (e.g. Voluson, Epiq, Acuson)
- **Listing types** — `sell`, `auction`, `buy`, or `all`
- **Pagination controls** — `pageSize` 15–30 and `maxPagesPerUrl` for predictable run size
- **Streaming dataset** — rows appear while the run progresses; dedupe by listing id
- **Lightweight HTTP** — Chrome TLS fingerprinting; **residential proxy recommended** on Apify cloud (Cloudflare)

### MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via [Apify MCP](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). Connect your Apify account, then call this Actor by its Store ID / name (`crawloop/bimedis-scraper`).

Example prompts:

- "Run the Bimedis scraper for ultrasound machines, details mode, max 30, return title, brand, price, year, condition as JSON"
- "Scrape Bimedis auctions in Imaging and summarize median asking price by brand"
- "Chain Bimedis Scraper then Labexchange Scraper for clinical ultrasound vs lab equipment comps"

### Suite next step

After Bimedis priced clinical listings, enrich European lab inventory with [Labexchange Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/labexchange-scraper), or broaden used industrial equipment via [Exapro Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/exapro-scraper).

### FAQ

#### Is this an official Bimedis API?

No. It is an unofficial **Bimedis API alternative** that reads publicly available listing pages and returns structured JSON for analysis workflows.

#### Can I scrape used medical equipment prices with Python or Node.js?

Yes. Call `crawloop/bimedis-scraper` via the Apify client (Python / Node.js), cURL, Console, or MCP — then export the dataset.

#### Do results include seller emails and phones?

No. Those fields are gated behind on-site reveal / auth. The Actor returns public seller name, company, rating, and profile URL when published.

#### How large is the sell inventory?

On the order of **~120k** active sell listings (plus ~1k auctions) across clinical categories. Homepage “products” counts can include models/catalog SKUs beyond live ads.

#### Listings vs details — which mode should I use?

Use **listings** for fast catalog / price discovery. Use **details** when you need specs, dual currency, probes/components, warranty, and full image galleries.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Category/search pages (/search/search-items/…) or product detail URLs (/a-item/…). If empty, categories or searchKeyword are used.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Used when startUrls is empty and no searchKeyword is set.

## `searchKeyword` (type: `string`):

Optional brand/model search (e.g. Voluson, Philips Epiq, Mindray).

## `listingType` (type: `string`):

Filter marketplace listing type. Auction ≈ 1k lots; sell is the main inventory.

## `runMode` (type: `string`):

listings = fast card-level data. details = open each PDP for specs, dual currency, probes/components, gallery, seller company.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum listings to return. 0 = unlimited.

## `maxPagesPerUrl` (type: `integer`):

Pagination depth (?page=N). Each page has up to pageSize cards. 0 = until exhausted.

## `pageSize` (type: `integer`):

Bimedis allows 15–30 results per page.

## `concurrencyLimit` (type: `integer`):

Parallel detail-page workers.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Recommended for Apify cloud runs. Use RESIDENTIAL — datacenter IPs often get Cloudflare 403.
