Aero Trader Listings Scraper

✈️ Aero Trader Listings Scraper

Extract airplanes, helicopters and other aircraft for sale from aerotrader.com. The Aero Trader Listings Scraper turns any Aero Trader search into structured data: prices, year, make and model, condition, serial number or VIN, dealer name and phone number, city, state, ZIP code, map coordinates and photos. Use it for market research, price tracking, dealer inventory analysis and lead lists.

Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, monitoring and one-click export to JSON, CSV, Excel or your favourite integration.

✨ Features

• 📋 Rich data from the search pages: title, year, make, model, trim, condition, price, MSRP, class and category, serial number / VIN, stock number, seller type, dealer name, ID, website and phone, city, state, ZIP, latitude and longitude, listing date, photo URLs and a short description.
• 🔧 Optional full details: turn on Scrape full listing details to add the complete description, every photo and the spec sheet (airframe, engine and propeller hours, avionics, equipment), plus recent price drops.
• 🔗 Any search works: filter on aerotrader.com (make, model, price, location, condition, seller type…), copy the address and paste it. Single listing pages (/listing/...) work too.
• 🧹 No duplicates: each listing is saved and charged once per run, even when several of your searches overlap.
• 📣 Tells you when a search is too big: Aero Trader shows at most about 420 listings per search. When your search matches more, the run says so and how to split it.
• 💸 Pay only for what you get: listings that cannot be loaded or no longer exist are not charged.

💡 Tips

• Big searches: Aero Trader shows at most about 420 listings for one search, however many match. To get more, split the search: one URL per make, state or price range. The run's status message tells you when a search hit this limit.
• Order: if your URL has no sort, listings come in the site's own default order. Pick a sort on the site (for example newest first) to change it.
• A URL with page=3 starts at page 3.
• Use Max items to cap costs while testing, and schedule runs to track new inventory and price changes.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Aero Trader? The Actor collects publicly available listing data. You are responsible for using it in line with Aero Trader's terms and applicable law, including data-protection rules for any personal data.

Why do some listings have no price? The seller chose "call for price"; price is null then.

Why did my run return fewer listings than the search shows? Aero Trader shows about 420 listings per search. Split the search with filters, as described in Tips.
