Shiply Freight Marketplace Scraper — Transport Job Listings

Shiply Freight Marketplace Scraper collects the public transport jobs posted on Shiply's country marketplaces and returns each listing's title, Shiply listing ID and URL, marketplace, pickup and delivery area, distance, quote count, thumbnail and urgent or featured flags. It is built for carriers, brokers and logistics analysts who want to see what is being posted where, and it costs USD 15 per 1,000 listings on the FREE tier (USD 11 per 1,000 on GOLD).

Route fields (origin, destination, distance, quotesCount) are filled from the search results since the 2026-10-27 build; postedAtText is filled only on marketplaces whose results show a date column, such as the UK, and is null elsewhere. Each listingUrl opens the full public listing on Shiply.

What data does the Shiply scraper return?

Each dataset row is one unique public listing from a Shiply search page.

Field	What it contains	Filled today?
listingId	Shiply's listing ID from the URL, for example VBGZ54GY9	Yes
title	Item or shipment title, for example Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class or Ninja 400 2020	Yes
listingUrl	Public Shiply listing page	Yes
country	Marketplace label, for example Canada	Yes
thumbnailUrl	Search-result thumbnail when the listing has one	When present
isUrgent, isFeatured	Shiply's urgent and featured flags	Yes (true or false)
distanceUnit	mi or km for the selected marketplace	Yes
origin, destination	Pickup and delivery area at the precision Shiply shows, for example Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, DG7	Yes
distance, quotesCount	Route distance in distanceUnit and the number of quotes so far	Yes
postedAtText	Posting date as shown, for example 27/09	UK-style markets with a date column; null elsewhere
sourcePageUrl, scrapedAt	The search page the row came from, and the UTC collection time	Yes

The OUTPUT record classifies each run as DATA, EMPTY, BLOCKED, REJECTED or FAILED. It also reports delivered rows, pages visited, failed requests, challenge pages and warnings, so a blocked run is never mistaken for an empty marketplace.

How do I scrape Shiply transport jobs by country?

Pick one or more marketplaces in Countries: uk, us, ca, au, in, de, fr, es, it, br or mx. The default is the United Kingdom, and the Console prefill uses Canada with 10 listings.

{
  "countries": ["ca"],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "maxPagesPerSearch": 1
}

Several marketplaces in one run:

{
  "countries": ["uk", "us", "ca"],
  "maxResults": 150,
  "maxPagesPerSearch": 2
}

If you already have a public Shiply search page, clear Countries and add it to Custom Shiply search URLs. It must end in /search or /listings/search. Listing, login and quote pages are rejected before any listing is charged.

{
  "countries": [],
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.shiply.com/ca/listings/search" }],
  "maxResults": 25
}

Each search page holds up to 25 listings. maxPagesPerSearch (1–100, default 5) bounds pagination per marketplace, and maxResults (1–10,000, default 50) caps the whole run. Listings are deduplicated by marketplace and listing ID.

When should I use this Actor, and when not?

Use it when you want a scheduled snapshot of which items people are asking to move on a Shiply marketplace, such as cars, motorcycles, furniture or pallets, and the links to open them. It suits demand monitoring, listing-volume tracking and prospect lists for transport providers.

Use something else when:

• You need US carrier safety and authority records: DOT Number Lookup — FMCSA Carrier Safety Scraper.
• You need importer and shipment records: ImportYeti Scraper.
• You need private listing details, customer contacts, messages or the ability to place quotes. The Actor does none of these.

Use it from an AI assistant

Shiply Freight Marketplace Scraper works from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify's MCP server. Add it with https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=muhammadafzal/shiply-com-freight-marketplace-scraper, then ask, for example: "Pull the latest 50 Shiply listings in the UK and Canada and group them by what is being shipped."

Run it with the API

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('muhammadafzal/shiply-com-freight-marketplace-scraper').call({
    countries: ['uk'],
    maxResults: 25,
    maxPagesPerSearch: 1,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const listing of items) console.log(listing.title, listing.listingUrl);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("muhammadafzal/shiply-com-freight-marketplace-scraper").call(
    run_input={"countries": ["ca", "au"], "maxResults": 40, "maxPagesPerSearch": 1}
)
for listing in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(listing["country"], listing["title"], listing["listingUrl"])

What does the output look like?

Two rows from 2026-10-27 runs, one from the Canada prefill (run 7VOBEXDOmqBQ3KxdX) and one from the UK (run RqfBzSwfJdQ0Jl4kf):

Pricing: how much does Shiply listing data cost?

Shiply Freight Marketplace Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. Platform usage is included in the event prices.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD	PLATINUM / DIAMOND
Shiply listing (one dataset row)	USD 0.015	USD 0.014	USD 0.013	USD 0.011	USD 0.011
Actor start (per started GB of allocated memory)	USD 0.005	USD 0.005	USD 0.005	USD 0.005	USD 0.005

Worked totals on the FREE tier at the default 1,024 MB memory (one start event):

• Prefill run, 10 Canada listings: 10 × USD 0.015 + USD 0.005 = USD 0.155
• Default input, 50 UK listings: 50 × USD 0.015 + USD 0.005 = USD 0.755

A blocked or empty run charges only the start fee. The run's start message and the estimatedEventCostUsd value in OUTPUT use the live prices for your plan. You can also set a maximum cost per run in Apify Console.

How does it handle Shiply's bot protection?

Shiply puts a browser check in front of its search pages, so the Actor uses a real headless browser with persistent sessions, a polite delay (requestDelayMillis, default 1,000 ms) and up to 2 retries per page with a fresh session. A challenge page is never parsed as an empty result. If every request is challenged, the run ends as BLOCKED with no listings charged. Concurrency is 1–5 browser pages (default 2). The Actor manages its own network access; there is no proxy setting to configure. The Actor does not solve CAPTCHAs or log in.

FAQ

Does it return pickup and delivery locations?

Yes. origin and destination hold the pickup and delivery area as Shiply shows it in search results, usually town, region and partial postcode, with distance in miles or kilometres.

Which Shiply marketplaces are supported?

The United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, India, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Brazil and Mexico, plus any public Shiply search URL you paste.

How many listings can I get per run?

Up to 10,000, bounded by maxPagesPerSearch × 25 listings for each marketplace. With the defaults, that is 5 pages, or up to 125 listings per marketplace, capped at 50 for the run.

Can I bid on or quote for jobs with it?

No. It only reads public search pages. It does not log in, message customers or submit quotes.

What happens if Shiply blocks the run?

OUTPUT.outcome is BLOCKED, the status message says so, and no listing events are charged. Retry later or lower concurrency.

How fresh are the listings?

Every run reads the live search pages, so you get whatever Shiply shows at that moment. Schedule the Actor to build a history.
