What this TruckPaper scraper does

This TruckPaper scraper extracts commercial truck and trailer for-sale listings into a clean Apify dataset: asking price, make, model, year, mileage, VIN, horsepower, dealer phone, location, and images. Built as a TruckPaper API alternative for dealers, fleet buyers, appraisers, lenders, and data teams who need Class 8 sleeper / day cab, dump truck, box truck, and semi-trailer comps in Python, Node.js, or MCP — export JSON / CSV / Excel without manual browsing.

Run listings for fast catalog pulls (retail cards already include dealer phone and specs) or details for PDP street-address enrichment via Vehicle JSON-LD. Enable monitorMode on an Apify Schedule to track new inventory and price changes per dealer or category. retailOnly (default on) skips AuctionTime / EquipmentFacts cross-lists that pollute asking-price feeds.

When to use

• Dealer competitive intelligence — watch a rival AccountCRMID inventory daily
• Asking-price comps for sleeper trucks, day cabs, dump trucks, box trucks, and semi-trailers
• Fleet sourcing by manufacturer, model, mileage, VIN, or US state
• Outreach lists with published dealer phones (no details mode required for most retail cards)
• Join US truck asking prices with EU stock from Truck1 Scraper

When not to use

• You need authenticated Auction Results sold hammer prices (often login-gated)
• You only need European commercial vehicles — start with Truck1 Scraper
• You need US construction or farm boards — use Sandhills construction / farm workflows separately

• Retail-only filter — skip AuctionTime / EquipmentFacts cross-lists
• Cloudflare-ready — curl_cffi Chrome TLS; Apify Residential (US) recommended
• Priced-only filter — skip Call-for-price, Auction labels, and zero-price rows

FAQ

Is this a TruckPaper API?
There is no official public bulk API for most users. This Actor is a structured scrape / API alternative that returns a dataset you can call from Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP.

How do I scrape TruckPaper commercial truck listings?
Paste a filtered search or category URL into startUrls, set maxItems, and run. Or set manufacturer + category (e.g. Peterbilt sleeper 16045) and let the Actor build the search URL.

Do I need details mode for dealer phones?
Usually no — retail cards already expose dealerPhone, website, and location. Use details when you need street address from PDP Vehicle ld+json.

How do I watch one dealer?
Set accountCrmId (from any listing card) or paste a dealer inventory search URL, enable monitorMode, pick a unique monitorStoreName, and schedule the Actor.

Why are some cards labeled Auction?
TruckPaper search mixes retail stock with AuctionTime / EquipmentFacts cross-lists. Leave retailOnly: true (default) to keep asking-price comps clean.

Which proxy should I use?
Apify Residential with apifyProxyCountry: "US" is recommended — the site sits behind Cloudflare.

Can I filter Freightliner Cascadia only?
Yes — set manufacturer to FREIGHTLINER and searchQuery to CASCADIA, or paste an equivalent filtered URL in startUrls.

Can I scrape day cab, dump, or trailer categories?
Yes — use category ids such as 16013 (day cab), 16014 (dump), or paste a trailer / reefer / flatbed SEO URL into startUrls.

How do I export TruckPaper data to CSV or Excel?
Run the Actor, open the dataset, and download CSV / Excel / JSON from the Apify Console, or pull items via the Apify API / client.
