📋 What it does

• 🚢 Collects boat titles, years, makes, models, and listing prices from thousands of listings
• ⚙️ Extracts full specifications including length, beam, fuel type, hull material, and boat class
• 🔧 Returns engine make, model, type, total horsepower, and engine hours (with detail mode)
• 👤 Captures dealer name, seller type, and location (city, state, ZIP code)
• 📸 Gathers every listing photo when Include Full Details is enabled
• 🔍 Supports flexible search via make, type, condition, price, length filters, or any BoatTrader URL

Each listing includes structured data for easy analysis and comparison. Enable "Include Full Details" to fetch additional specifications, full descriptions, and complete image galleries from each listing's detail page.

💡 Why it matters: The marine market has thousands of new and used boats listed every day. Manually browsing and comparing listings is impractical for market analysis. This scraper automates the collection of boat data so you can focus on pricing strategy, market trends, and inventory decisions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to run this actor?

No. You can start right now on the free Apify plan, which includes $5 in free monthly credit. That is enough to run this actor several times and explore the output before committing to anything. Paid plans unlock higher limits, more concurrent runs, and larger datasets. Create a free Apify account here to get started.

🚨 What happens if my run fails or returns no results?

Failed runs are not charged. If the source site changes, proxies get rate-limited, or a specific input matches nothing, re-run the actor or open our contact form and we will investigate. You can also check the run log in the Apify console to see why the run stopped.

📏 How many items can I scrape per run?

Free users are limited to 10 items per run so you can preview the output and confirm the actor works for your use case. Paid users can raise maxItems up to 1,000,000 per run. Upgrade here if you need full scale.

🕒 How fresh is the data?

Every run fetches live data at the moment of execution. There is no cache or delay: the records you get reflect what the source returned at that moment. Schedule the actor to maintain a rolling snapshot of the data you need.

🧑‍💻 Can I call this actor from my own code?

Yes. Apify exposes every actor as a REST endpoint and ships first-class SDKs for Node.js and Python. You can start a run, read the dataset, and handle webhooks from your own app in a few lines. All you need is your Apify API token.

📤 How do I export the data?

Every Apify dataset can be downloaded in one click from the console as CSV, JSON, JSONL, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS. You can also pull results programmatically via the Apify API or stream them into BigQuery, S3, and other destinations through built-in integrations.

📅 Can I schedule the actor to run automatically?

Yes. Use the Apify scheduler to run the actor on any cadence, from hourly to monthly. Results are saved to your dataset and can be delivered to webhooks, email, Slack, cloud storage, or automation tools such as Zapier and Make.

🔌 Automating with code

Node.js example:

  boatType: "power",
  maxItems: 50,
  includeDetails: true
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python example:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

run = client.actor("parseforge/boattrader-scraper").call(run_input={
    "make": "Bayliner",
    "boatType": "power",
