Machineseeker Scraper

Free plan limit: Free-plan users can receive up to 5 result records per run. Paid-plan and local/unknown runs retain the Actor's existing limits.

Extract structured machine listings from public Machineseeker search results, categories, and listing pages. Use it for used-equipment sourcing, price research, inventory monitoring, market analysis, and lead qualification.

What you get

Each dataset row represents one unique listing and can include:

• listing ID, title, machine type, manufacturer, and model
• numeric price, currency, original price text, listing type, and condition
• year, location, and country
• full public description and machine specifications
• high-resolution image URLs, canonical listing URL, and source search page

Input

Provide one or both of:

• searchQueries: machine names, manufacturers, or models such as CNC lathe, Haas, or forklift
• startUrls: public Machineseeker search, category, or individual listing URLs

Useful controls:

• maxResults — unique records to save (1–1,000)
• maxPages — total search/category pages to crawl (1–100)
• includeDetails — enrich every result from its detail page; enabled by default
• maxConcurrency — simultaneous requests (1–10)
• proxyConfiguration — optional Apify Proxy; direct HTTP is the default

If no query or URL is supplied, the Actor searches for CNC lathe. Duplicate listings across inputs are saved once.

Example input

{
  "searchQueries": ["CNC lathe", "Haas machining center"],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "maxPages": 5,
  "includeDetails": true
}

The OUTPUT key-value-store record reports DATA, EMPTY, BLOCKED, REJECTED, or FAILED, plus record/page counters and warnings. Valid no-match searches return EMPTY; access challenges return BLOCKED; no diagnostic rows are inserted into the listing dataset.

Pricing and limits

Pay per event: one $0.005 start event and one $0.005 event per listing successfully written to the default dataset. At the FREE-tier rate, 100 results cost up to $0.505 in Actor events. Apify platform usage for this Actor run is included in the event prices; see the Pricing section below.

The Actor uses public pages only. It does not submit inquiries, expose gated contact details, bypass access controls, or guarantee that seller-provided listing information is accurate. Respect Machineseeker's terms and applicable data-protection law when using the output.
