For informational and research use only (market research, dealer intelligence, procurement comps, inventory monitoring). You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws, site terms, and your organization policies.

No warranty as to accuracy, completeness, or continued availability of third-party data.

EquipNet scraper for used laboratory, pharmaceutical, packaging, and industrial surplus — analyzers, HPLC, centrifuges, bioreactors, tanks, fillers, and more. Extract asking prices, manufacturer, model, year, serial number, location, removal level, technical specs, and image galleries when published. Use it as an EquipNet API alternative from Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP.

Built for lab / pharma dealers, procurement teams, asset recovery, and valuation comps. Choose listings for fast card-level catalogs or details for full product pages.

Runs behind Cloudflare with curl_cffi (Chrome TLS fingerprint) and US residential proxy — recommended for stable MarketPlace access.

When to use this Actor

Use the EquipNet Scraper when you need:

• Surplus MarketPlace inventory across lab, process, packaging, and facility categories
• Asking prices in USD/EUR when sellers publish them (high-ticket surplus comps)
• Identity fields — listing ID, manufacturer, model, year, serial number
• Logistics context — location and level of removal (e.g. still installed)
• Media — thumbnail plus largepic gallery URLs
• Discovery — category crawl, keyword search, manufacturer pages, New-to-site / Price drops, or sitemap listid discovery

Ideal for used-lab-equipment dealers, biopharma buyers, and data teams tracking North American and global secondary-market instrumentation.

When not to use

• You only need EU dealer stock → prefer Labexchange Scraper
• You need broad industrial machinery across many countries → Exapro Scraper or Surplex Scraper
• You need login-gated auction lot catalogs — public calendar metadata only; MarketPlace listings are the primary source

Data pipeline

Input                              Mode                         Output
─────────────────────────         ────────────────────         ──────────────────────────

  Category / manufacturer    ──►   listings (fast cards)  ──►  title, price, location, IDs
  Keyword search             ──►   details  (full PDP)   ──►  specs, images, serial, year
  Sitemap / direct listid    ──►                           ──►  manufacturer, model, gallery
  Browse feeds / auctions*

  Join by brand + model      ──►   comps with Labexchange / Exapro

* Auction calendar metadata is public; lot catalogs often require EquipNet login.

Key Features

• Two extraction modes — listings for card-level stubs; details for specs table, description, gallery, and asking price
• Category shortcuts — popular MarketPlace roots when you do not paste URLs
• Search — searchKeyword maps to EquipNet search (/search/?q=)
• Browse feeds — New to site, Price drops, Certified
• Sitemap discovery — pull thousands of listid URLs from the language sitemap (cap with maxItems)
• Facet fallback — when Cloudflare blocks POST pagination, expand via child category / manufacturer links
• Cloudflare-ready — curl_cffi TLS fingerprint + US residential proxy defaults

MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via Apify MCP. Connect your Apify account, then call crawloop/equipnet-scraper.

Example prompts:

• "Run EquipNet Scraper for analyzers, details mode, max 25, return title, manufacturer, model, price, location"
• "Scrape EquipNet used lab equipment for Agilent and summarize asking price ranges"
• "Chain EquipNet Scraper then Labexchange Scraper for the same brands and compare surplus vs EU dealer inventory"

Suite next step

For European used-lab dealer stock, run Labexchange Scraper next. For broader industrial machinery comps, use Exapro Scraper or Surplex Scraper.

FAQ

Does every listing have a price? No. Some sellers use Make an Offer without a public ask. The Actor never fabricates prices.

Can I scrape auction lots? The public auction calendar is supported. Detailed lot catalogs often redirect to login — MarketPlace listings are the primary source.

Why did pagination stop early? EquipNet paginates via POST; Cloudflare may block it. The Actor expands child category and manufacturer facets, and you can use useSitemap for broad coverage.

Why is details slower than listings? Each product page is fetched for full specs and galleries. Prefer listings for large inventory scans; use details for enrichment.

Is there an official EquipNet API? Not for public MarketPlace export. This Actor is an Apify-based EquipNet scraper / API alternative for structured JSON datasets.

Notes

• Prefer Apify Residential + country US. Datacenter exits are often blocked.
• Raise the run timeout for large details jobs when scraping thousands of PDPs.
• Deduplicate by listingId across overlapping categories and facets.
• Keep maxItems bounded on first runs to control proxy and compute spend.
