Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## ⛵ Apollo Duck Scraper

Want [Apollo Duck](https://www.apolloduck.co.uk/) boats in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** — better for AI agents — **or** paste one or more **`input_url`** values. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters.

Apollo Duck lists boats for sale in the UK and abroad. Each card shows the price, year, length, location, and when the advert was posted. Open the boat page when you also want the full description, every photo, videos, and the specification table. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Buyers:** Export motor boats, narrow boats, and yachts with prices.
- **Brokers:** Watch new ads in a category, or one brand site such as Bayliner.
- **Data analysts:** Slice year, length in metres and feet, and price.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live results.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste Apollo Duck search pages, a brand site, or a boat page. `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Category, ad type, year, length, country, and sort.
- 🚤 **Boat pages on request:** Leave `include_details` off for a fast list. Turn it on, or paste a boat page, for the full description, photos, videos, and specifications.

### 📦 What's inside the data?

`id`, `url`, `title`, `price`, `currency`, `price_note`, `location`, `year`, `make`, `model`, `length_m`, `length_feet`, `engine`, `hull`, `category`, `status`, `description`, `posted_at`, `breadcrumbs`, `specifications`, `image`, `images`, `videos`

Length in feet is calculated from the metres on the card. Make, model, engine, hull, the full description, breadcrumbs, the photo list, videos, and the specification table come from the boat page.

echo '{}' |
apify call dadhalfdev/apolloduck-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dadhalfdev/apolloduck-scraper"

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
