This DOTmed scraper (DOTmed API alternative) extracts new and used medical equipment listings into clean JSON on Apify — asking prices, condition, manufacturer, model, seller, specs, and images. Pull imaging, surgical, laboratory, cardiology, ultrasound, and related categories via category browse, keyword search, newest feed, auctions, or direct listing 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 North America–heavy secondary-market price comps.

When to use this Actor

Use the DOTmed Scraper when you need:

• Used medical equipment prices — asking price + currency from public DOTmed listings
• Brand / model comps — Voluson, LOGIQ, Epiq, Siemens, Philips, Medtronic and similar when listed
• Condition & stock flags — Used / New / Refurbished, qty available, in stock
• Auctions & private sales — bid-now amounts, time left, sale ids
• Full PDP enrichment — specification table, description, image gallery, public seller fields
• Keyword discovery — search across hundreds of thousands of equipment listings

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

When not to use this Actor

• European clinical marketplace only — start with Bimedis Scraper
• European lab warehouse stock — start with Labexchange Scraper
• Bulk personal contact harvesting — prefer public seller name / company / profile URL; phones may appear on some PDPs but are not the product intent

• 25 equipment categories — Imaging, Surgical, Laboratory, Cardiology, and more
• Category hub expansion — auto-discovers subcategories when a top-level browse hub is auction-heavy
• Keyword search — brand/model discovery (e.g. Voluson, LOGIQ E9)
• Listing formats — fixed-price, auction, private sale, or all
• Pagination controls — pageSize 15–100 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)

• "Scrape DOTmed newest equipment listings and summarize median asking price by manufacturer"
• "Chain DOTmed Scraper then Bimedis Scraper for NA vs EU ultrasound price comps"

Suite next step

After DOTmed NA clinical listings, compare EU clinical inventory with Bimedis Scraper, or enrich European lab stock via Labexchange Scraper.

FAQ

Is this an official DOTmed API?

No. It is an unofficial DOTmed 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/dotmed-scraper via the Apify client (Python / Node.js), cURL, Console, or MCP — then export the dataset.

Why do some category hubs return mostly auctions?

DOTmed top-level browse hubs often prioritize live auctions. Enable Expand category hubs (default) to crawl leaf subcategories that carry fixed-price inventory, or use Search keyword / Newest start URLs.

Listings vs details — which mode should I use?

Use listings for fast catalog / price discovery. Use details when you need specs, full description, seller profile fields, and image galleries.

Do I need a proxy?

On Apify cloud, RESIDENTIAL proxy is recommended. Datacenter IPs often hit Cloudflare 403/429; the Actor retries and rotates sessions when configured.
