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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Machineseeker Scraper — Used Machinery & Dealer Contacts > **Crawloop Used Machinery Marketplace Suite** — Structured extraction for used industrial machinery, metalworking equipment, wood processing systems, and heavy machinery.

Extract used machinery listings from **machineseeker.com** and regional localized domains (`maschinensucher.de`, `machineseeker.fr`, `machineseeker.pl`, `machineseeker.ru`, …) into clean JSON datasets on Apify. Supports category URLs, search queries, and direct product pages — with `listings` mode for fast catalog scans and `details` mode for full PDP enrichment including unmasked seller phone numbers and image galleries. Cloudflare-protected pages are handled with `curl_cffi` Chrome 120 JA3 fingerprint emulation. No headless browser overhead — lightweight HTTP requests at high concurrency. ### When to use this Actor Use the **Machineseeker Scraper** when you need broad multi-language coverage of used CNC machine tools, injection molding machinery, sheet metal equipment, and woodworking systems across Machineseeker's global domain network. For unmasked dealer phones on Resale.info with strong German metalworking inventory, use the [Resale.info Scraper](https://crawloop.com/products/resale-scraper.html). For Exapro seller activity stats and European industrial listings, use the [Exapro Scraper](https://crawloop.com/products/exapro-scraper.html). For excavators, trucks (Autoline), and agricultural equipment (Agroline) with geo-coordinates, use the [Machineryline Scraper](https://crawloop.com/products/machineryline-scraper.html). ### Used Machinery Marketplace Workflow ```` Multi-platform intelligence Per-platform enrichment ────────────────────────── ───────────────────────── Exapro Scraper ──────────────────► seller stats & European listings Resale.info Scraper ──────────────────► dealer phones & profiles Machineseeker Scraper ◄── you are here ──► regional CNC & metalworking Machineryline Scraper ──────────────────► heavy equipment & coordinates Join datasets by manufacturer + model ──► price comparison & lead routing ```` ### Key Features - **Universal language and domain support** — Feed URLs from any regional Machineseeker / Maschinensucher site; localized fields, currencies, and formatting are resolved automatically. - **Search query support** — Text queries use the appropriate regional search page for the selected target language. - **Two extraction modes** — `listings` for card-level specs, titles, pricing, and country; `details` for PDP galleries, technical specs, descriptions, and unmasked seller phone numbers. - **Cloudflare WAF bypass** — `curl_cffi` Chrome 120 impersonation for reliable access at scale. - **No headless browser overhead** — Highly concurrent, resource-friendly HTTP extraction. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `startUrls` | Array | `[]` | Category, search page, or direct product detail URLs to scrape. | | `searchQuery` | String | `""` | Optional text query (e.g. `dmg`, `lathe`, `saw`). | | `runMode` | String | `"listings"` | `"listings"` for card overview or `"details"` for deep PDP enrichment. | | `maxItems` | Integer | `100` | Maximum total machinery items to scrape. | | `maxPagesPerUrl` | Integer | `10` | Maximum pagination pages per category or search query. | | `language` | String | `"en"` | Target language/domain for search requests (`en`, `de`, `fr`, `es`, `it`, `pl`, `nl`, `ru`, `cz`, `ro`, `hu`). | | `concurrencyLimit` | Integer | `5` | Parallel workers — keep low to avoid anti-bot blocks. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | `{}` | Apify Residential Proxies recommended. | #### Input Example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.machineseeker.com/Metal-processing-machinery/ci-2" } ], "runMode": "details", "maxItems": 50, "maxPagesPerUrl": 3, "language": "en", "concurrencyLimit": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Output Format The scraper pushes structured JSON rows to the default Apify dataset.
