Surplus Record scraper for used industrial machinery and electrical surplus — engine lathes, CNC, presses, motors, transformers, generators, and 2,000+ categories across ~190k live listings. Extract asking prices, manufacturer, model, year, specs, dealer name / phone / email, and image galleries. Run category crawls, keyword or SR ID search, dealer inventory pages, or direct listing URLs — a practical Surplus Record API alternative for Python, Node.js, cURL, and MCP on Apify.

Built for machinery dealers, electrical surplus buyers, appraisers, and procurement teams tracking North American secondary-market inventory. Choose listings for fast card-level catalogs or details for full product pages with JSON-LD enrichment and dealer contacts.

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

Suite next step

After NA Surplus Record inventory, pull European machine-tool stock with Exapro Scraper or heavy-equipment contacts with Machineryline Scraper.

FAQ

Do I need a login?
No. Public category and listing pages are scraped. Account-only portal features are out of scope.

Why residential proxy?
Surplus Record sits behind Cloudflare. Datacenter IPs often get challenged; US residential works best.

Are prices always present?
No. Many dealers use Request Price or Make Offer. The Actor sets priceStatus accordingly.

Can I scrape by SR ID?
Yes — put the ID in searchKeyword or paste a direct listing URL into startUrls.

Listings vs details?
Use listings for fast catalog scans; use details when you need specs, full galleries, and dealer email/phone.
