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 ## YATCO Yacht Listings Scraper Extract yacht and boat listings from [YATCO](https://www.yatco.com), one of the largest yacht marketplaces (the MLS of yachting). Get vessel name, builder, model, year, asking price, length, beam, staterooms, hull material, location, broker and photo. Built for yacht brokers, marine market research, buyer sourcing and boat-valuation tools. ### Features - **Keyword search** across the full YATCO catalogue (~6,500 yachts) - **Filters**: vessel type (motor / sail) and USD price range - Rich per-yacht data: price (USD + formatted), LOA, beam, draft, staterooms, sleeps, hull material, gross tonnage, condition, days on market, builder, model and year - Broker and brokerage company for each listing - Handles YATCO's Cloudflare protection automatically (real browser + residential proxy) ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Keyword (e.g. "sunseeker", "catamaran"). Empty = all yachts. | | `vesselType` | select | `any`, `motor`, or `sail`. | | `priceMin` / `priceMax` | integer | Asking price range in USD. | | `maxItems` | integer | Max yachts. `0` = no limit. Default `100`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential proxy strongly recommended (default). | #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "sunseeker", "vesselType": "motor", "priceMin": 1000000, "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Output ```json { "vesselId": "465862", "vesselName": "TAKE 5", "builder": "FORMULA", "model": "500 Super Sport Crossover", "year": 2024, "priceUSD": 2289000, "priceFormatted": "$2,289,000 USD", "vesselType": "Motor", "category": "Cruiser", "lengthFeet": 56.25, "beamFeet": 14.5, "staterooms": 1, "hullMaterial": "FRP", "location": "Deerfield Beach, Florida, United States", "daysOnMarket": 46, "broker": "Justin Qvarnstrom", "brokerCompany": "BR Marine Group", "url": "https://www.yatco.com/yacht/465862" } ``` ### Common use cases - Build and monitor yacht inventory databases - Broker competitive analysis and pricing benchmarks - Buyer sourcing by type, length and budget - Marine-market trend analysis (days on market, price ranges) ### Pricing Pay per result: a small fee to start the run plus a per-yacht fee. Errors and duplicates are never charged. ### FAQ **How many yachts are available?** Around 6,500 active listings across motor and sailing yachts. **Do prices come in other currencies?** The source provides many currencies; this Actor returns USD price plus the formatted original. Ask if you need additional currency fields. **Is this affiliated with YATCO?** No. This is an independent tool for extracting publicly available data. Please respect YATCO's terms of service. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Keyword to search yachts for (e.g. "sunseeker", "sailing catamaran", "azimut"). Leave empty to browse all listings. ## `vesselType` (type: `string`): Filter by vessel type. ## `priceMin` (type: `integer`): Only include yachts priced at or above this value (in USD). Yachts with price on application are excluded when set. ## `priceMax` (type: `integer`): Only include yachts priced at or below this value (in USD). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of yachts to return. Set 0 for no limit (the catalogue has ~6,500 yachts). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy used to reach YATCO. Residential proxy is strongly recommended, YATCO uses Cloudflare. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "sunseeker", "vesselType": "any", "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "vesselType": "any" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gio21/yatco-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
