They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — 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 ## Used Heavy Equipment Listings & Pricing — MachineryTrader Scraper Scrape used heavy equipment listings from [MachineryTrader](https://www.machinerytrader.com), the reference price surface for North American construction equipment. Returns pricing, full spec sheets, dealer contact details, location, and photos for every for-sale listing across all 18 equipment categories — excavators, skid steers, dozers, cranes, and more. *** ### MachineryTrader Scraper Features - Covers all 18 top-level equipment categories, from skid steers and excavators to cranes and off-highway trucks - Returns numeric asking price alongside the price exactly as displayed, so "Call for Price" listings don't silently become nulls - Extracts every spec-table entry the listing publishes — engine, hours, boom capacity, bucket capacity, undercarriage condition, whatever the equipment type carries — not just a fixed set of fields - Pulls the full photo gallery per listing, not just the hero image - Includes dealer name, phone, and profile link for every record — useful for prospecting, not just pricing - Filter by category, or leave it blank and get everything *** ### Who Uses MachineryTrader Data? - **Equipment dealers** — price trade-ins against live retail listings instead of guessing - **Asset-based lenders and appraisers** — mark collateral value against current market asking prices - **Rental fleet managers** — benchmark disposal pricing before retiring aging units - **Auction houses** — pull retail comps to set reserve prices, which is a nicer way of saying "know what it's actually worth before the gavel drops" - **Market researchers** — track pricing trends across equipment categories and manufacturers over time *** ### How MachineryTrader Scraper Works 1. Pick one or more equipment categories, or leave the field empty to cover all 18. 2. The scraper works through each category's listings, following pagination until it has enough records or runs out of listings. 3. Every listing gets its full detail page pulled — price, specs, dealer info, location, description, and photos — not just what's visible on the search results card. 4. Records land in your dataset as clean, structured JSON, ready to export or pipe into whatever you're building. *** ### Input ```json { "maxItems": 50, "categories": ["excavators", "skid-steers"] } ``` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |--------------|---------|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `maxItems` | integer | — | Maximum number of listing records to scrape.

Run this actor with a `maxItems` value and, optionally, a list of equipment categories. It returns structured listing data — no MachineryTrader account or login required. #### What data can I get from MachineryTrader? Pricing, full spec sheets, dealer contact info, location, and the complete photo gallery for every for-sale listing across all 18 equipment categories. That includes the fields you'd expect (make, model, year, hours) and the ones dealers don't always mention up front (serial numbers, stock numbers, undercarriage condition). #### Can I filter by equipment category? Yes. Pass one or more category slugs (`excavators`, `skid-steers`, `cranes`, `dozers`, and 14 others) in the `categories` input field. Leave it empty and you get every category. #### Does this actor cover auctions as well as for-sale listings? No — this actor covers MachineryTrader's for-sale listings specifically. A minority of search results cross-post to sibling Sandhills platforms (auctiontime.com, tractorhouse.com); those are out of scope here and filtered out automatically. #### Do I need a MachineryTrader account or API key? No. Point the actor at a category, and it returns listing data — no login, no API key. *** ### Need More Features? Need custom fields, filters, or a different target site? [File an issue](https://console.apify.com/actors/issues) or get in touch. ### Why Use This MachineryTrader Scraper? - **Full spec sheets, not just the listing card** — every record includes the complete spec table (engine, hours, boom/bucket capacity, undercarriage condition) plus dealer contact details, which is what actually makes a row usable for pricing or prospecting. - **Every category, one actor** — covers all 18 equipment categories MachineryTrader publishes, so you're not stitching together results from six different scrapers. - **Structured output** — clean, consistent field names on every record, so you spend your time using the data instead of cleaning it. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): What will this data feed?
