## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

## ✈️ Aircraft24 Scraper

> 🚀 **Export Aircraft24 listings in seconds. Model, manufacturer, year, total airframe time, asking price, dealer, and gallery images in one clean dataset.**

> 🕒 **Last updated:** 2026-06-05 · **📊 13 fields** per listing · Europe-wide aircraft inventory · Single-engine to jets · Live aircraft24.com search results

The Aircraft24 Scraper turns any [aircraft24.com](https://www.aircraft24.com) search into a clean dataset. Pick a category, optionally filter by manufacturer or price band, and the actor walks every result page and flattens each aircraft listing into one row.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 🛩️ Aircraft brokers | Monitor pan-European inventory in real time |
| 🏢 Charter operators | Source aircraft for fleet expansion |
| 📊 Aviation analysts | Build pricing trend datasets by model and year |
| 👨‍✈️ Private buyers | Compare hundreds of listings in a single sheet |
| 📰 Journalists | Track the used aircraft market |
| 👩‍💻 Developers | Mirror aircraft24 inventory into your app |

### 📋 What the Aircraft24 Scraper does

- Builds the Aircraft24 search URL from your category, manufacturer, and price band.
- Walks every result page until your `maxItems` cap or the end of results.
- Parses each card for model, year, price, location, dealer, and gallery images.
- Surfaces upstream errors as clean records rather than crashing.
- Emits records ready for download in tabular and structured formats.

> 💡 **Why it matters:** Aircraft24 is one of Europe's largest aircraft marketplaces but ships only paginated HTML. This actor flattens the catalog into one tidy dataset.
