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 ## Popsells Scraper ![banner](https://i.imgur.com/WqwLQrO.png) Popsells (popsells.com) is a US marketplace for boats and RVs. This actor collects structured listing detail data from PopSells category, search, and listing pages. ### Introduction The Popsells scraper starts from category or search URLs, paginates through listing results, opens detail pages, and extracts structured data such as title, price, usage, location, specs, images, and listing metadata. ### Use Cases - **Market research**: Track used RV and boat inventory, pricing, and listing activity by category. - **Competitive analysis**: Compare listing quality, pricing ranges, and product mix across regions and types. - **Lead generation**: Build structured listing datasets for sales, outreach, and enrichment workflows. - **Analytics pipelines**: Feed dashboards, warehousing, and downstream analysis tools with normalized listing data. ### Input Provide the following fields: - `startUrls` (array, required): PopSells category, search, or listing URLs. - `maxItems` (integer, optional): Maximum number of detail items to extract per start URL. - `proxyConfiguration` (object, optional): Apify proxy settings. Notes: - If a `startUrl` is a category or search URL, the actor collects listing detail pages from that source. - If a `startUrl` is a detail URL, the actor extracts that listing directly. - `maxItems` is enforced per original input URL. - Proxies are recommended for stability, especially for larger crawls. ### Input Examples **1) Start URLs** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://popsells.com/rvs-for-sale/category-class-a" }, { "url": "https://popsells.com/boats-for-sale/category-bowriders" } ], "maxItems": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Output Each dataset item contains fields like: ```json { "url": "https://popsells.com/rv-for-sale/2006-tiffin-phaeton-35dh-473928", "listingId": 473928, "stockNumber": "473928", "status": "Available", "condition": "Used", "itemType": "Motorhome", "category": "Class A", "title": "2006 Phaeton 35DH", "tagline": "2006 Phaeton By Tiffin 35DH! Caterpillar engine! Low mileage!", "description": "For Sale: 2006 Phaeton 35DH Motorhome - Your Ultimate Home on Wheels!", "brand": "Phaeton", "model": "35DH", "price": "$62,000", "priceValue": 62000, "currency": "USD", "usage": "43,000 Miles", "usageValue": "43000", "locationCity": "Dallas", "locationState": "Texas", "salesperson": "Steve Sotelo", "imageCount": 7, "imageUrls": ["https://img1.popsells.com/Listing/473928/16138951L.webp"], "featureOverviewYear": 2006, "featureEngineAndMechanicalFuelType": "Diesel", "featureDimensionsAndSpecsLength": "35' 6\"", "conditionConditionDetails": "She appears to be in good overall condition.", "badgeHasAirConditioning": "Has Air Conditioning", "highlightNonSmokingVehicle": "Non-Smoking Vehicle" } ``` The scraper paginates through listing results and stops when `maxItems` is reached per start URL or when no more listings are found. ### Why use the Popsells Scraper? - **Focused**: Built specifically for PopSells listing and pagination flows. - **Structured output**: Produces flat JSON records ready for automation and analysis. - **Detail-first extraction**: Opens listing pages and captures meaningful detail fields, specs, and metadata. - **Per-URL limits**: `maxItems` is enforced per original input URL. - **Apify-native**: Works with Apify datasets, request queue, and proxy config. ### FAQ - **How many listings can it extract?**\ Controlled by `maxItems` per source URL. - **Can it scrape both RVs and boats?**\ Yes. The actor supports PopSells RV and boat listing flows. - **Do I need proxies?**\ Not always, but proxies are recommended for larger runs and stability. - **Can I start from a detail URL?**\ Yes. Detail listing URLs are supported. - **What if PopSells changes its site structure or Algolia setup?**\ The actor may require updates to keep extraction stable. ### Need to scrape other marketplaces?
