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). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### ๐Ÿ๏ธ Cycle Trader Listings Scraper Easily extract motorcycle and powersports listings from **CycleTrader.com**, the largest online marketplace for new and used motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, and powersports vehicles in the US. The **Cycle Trader Listings Scraper** gathers structured data โ€” prices, dealers, **phone numbers**, locations, mileage, photos, and full specifications โ€” for market research, lead generation, price tracking, and inventory analysis. Run it on the **Apify platform** to get API access, scheduling, automatic proxy rotation, monitoring, and one-click export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or your favorite integration. ### โœจ Features - ๐Ÿท๏ธ **Rich Listing Data** โ€” year, make, model, trim, category, price, condition, mileage, color, engine size, location (city/state + ZIP), dealer name, photo count, and description for every listing. - โ˜Ž๏ธ **Dealer Contact Details** โ€” capture the seller's name and direct **phone number** for lead generation (details mode). - ๐Ÿ” **Search-Based Extraction** โ€” paste any Cycle Trader search or category URL (all motorcycles, a specific make like Honda, or a filtered search by category, condition, or location) and the scraper paginates through the results automatically. - ๐Ÿ“‹ **Optional Full Details** โ€” flip on *Scrape full listing details* to also pull each unit's complete image gallery, full spec sheet, and dealer contact info. - ๐Ÿ’ธ **Pay Only For What You Get** โ€” transparent Pay-Per-Event pricing; blocked or empty runs cost nothing. - โšก **Fast & Reliable** โ€” HTTP-based scraping with automatic retries and proxy rotation for stable, large-scale collection. ### ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ How to use the Cycle Trader Listings Scraper 1. **Add search URLs** โ€” open Cycle Trader, apply any filters you like, and copy the resulting URL (or just use the default *all motorcycles for sale* page). 2. **Set a limit** โ€” choose how many listings to collect with **Max items** (default 50, set 0 for unlimited). 3. **Choose depth** โ€” leave **Scrape full listing details** off for fast, cheap listing data, or turn it on for complete specs, photos, and dealer phone numbers. 4. **Run it** โ€” start the Actor and download your results in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. ### ๐Ÿ”ข Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | **Search / category URLs** | One or more Cycle Trader search or category pages to scrape. | | **Max items** | Maximum number of listings to collect (`0` = no limit). | | **Scrape full listing details** | Visit each listing's detail page for dealer phone, gallery, and full specs. | | **Proxy configuration** | Proxy settings โ€” US residential proxies are used by default for reliable access. | Example input: ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.cycletrader.com/motorcycles-for-sale" }], "maxItems": 50, "scrapeDetails": false } ```` ### ๐Ÿ“Š Output The scraper produces structured JSON. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. Listing record (default, fast pass): ```json { "id": "5040896982", "url": "https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2025-Triumph-THRUXTON+FINAL+EDITION-5040896982", "year": 2025, "make": "Triumph", "model": "THRUXTON FINAL EDITION", "title": "2025 Triumph THRUXTON FINAL EDITION", "condition": "Used", "price": 19500 } ``` Full record (with **Scrape full listing details** enabled): ```json { "id": "5040925150", "url": "https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2026-Kymco-Downtown-GT-350i-5040925150", "year": 2026, "condition": "New", "make": "Kymco", "model": "Downtown GT 350i", "trim": "125I", "class": "Motorcycle", "category": "Scooter", "price": 6599, "makeAnOfferPrice": null, "mileage": 0, "color": "Flat Brown", "engineSize": "321", "stockNumber": "29245", "location": "Salinas, CA", "state": "CA", "zip": "93906", "dealerName": "Salinas Motorcycle Center", "dealerId": "738234", "phone": "1-866-394-2442", "isDealer": true, "description": "An excellent balance of power and safety...", "features": [], "photoCount": 10, "images": ["https://cdn-media.tilabs.io/v1/media/6a29e5e8e47e0d5194073cb2.jpg"] } ``` ### ๐Ÿงพ Data fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `id` | Cycle Trader listing ID | | `url` | Listing detail page URL | | `year` | Model year | | `make` | Manufacturer | | `model` | Model name | | `title` | Full listing title *(fast pass)* | | `trim` | Trim | | `class` | Vehicle class (Motorcycle, ATV, etc.) | | `category` | Category (Sport, Cruiser, Scooter, Trike, Mx, etc.) | | `price` | Asking price (USD) | | `makeAnOfferPrice` | Make-an-offer price, if listed | | `condition` | New or used | | `mileage` | Odometer reading | | `color` | Primary color | | `engineSize` | Engine displacement | | `stockNumber` | Dealer stock number | | `location`, `state`, `zip` | Seller location | | `dealerName`, `dealerId` | Selling dealer name and ID | | `phone` | Dealer contact phone number | | `isDealer` | Whether the seller is a dealer | | `photoCount`, `images` | Photo count and full gallery URLs | | `description`, `features` | Listing description and feature list | *(Fields below `condition` are populated when **Scrape full listing details** is enabled.)* ### ๐Ÿ’ฐ Pricing This Actor uses a transparent **Pay-Per-Event** model โ€” you only pay for the data you actually collect, and runs that return nothing cost nothing. | Event | Price | |---|---| | **Listing scraped** (fast pass) | $0.004 per listing ($4 per 1,000) | | **Full detail scraped** (dealer phone, gallery, full specs) | $0.010 per listing ($10 per 1,000) | **How much does it cost to scrape Cycle Trader?** Collecting 1,000 listings in the default fast mode costs about **$4**. Pulling 1,000 fully-detailed records with dealer phone numbers, complete specs, and photos costs about **$10**. Apify's free tier includes monthly usage credits, so you can try it at no cost. ### ๐Ÿ’ก Tips - Keep **Scrape full listing details** off when you only need a title, condition, and price โ€” it's faster and cheaper. - To collect very large volumes, split your run by facets (make, category, condition, or location) โ€” like most marketplaces, Cycle Trader caps how deep a single search can paginate. - Use **Max items** to cap costs precisely during testing. - Schedule runs on Apify to track price changes and new inventory over time. ### โ“ FAQ & Support **Is scraping Cycle Trader legal?** This Actor collects only publicly available listing data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with Cycle Trader's Terms of Service and applicable laws (including data-protection regulations). Do not use scraped personal data unlawfully. **Can I scrape a specific make, category, or location?** Yes โ€” apply any filters on Cycle Trader and paste the resulting URL as a start URL. **Why are some runs slower?** Reliable access requires residential proxies and occasional retries; the Actor handles this automatically. **Need a custom feature or found a bug?** Open an issue in the Actor's **Issues** tab โ€” feedback and custom-solution requests are welcome. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Cycle Trader search or category pages to scrape. Paste any listing search URL (e.g. all motorcycles for sale, a make like Honda, or a filtered search by category, condition or location). The scraper automatically paginates through results. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listings to scrape. Set to 0 for no limit. ## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Visit each listing's detail page to extract the complete record โ€” dealer name and phone, full photo gallery, mileage, color, engine size, location and description. Slower and more expensive than the listings-only pass. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. US residential proxies are required for reliable access and are used by default. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.cycletrader.com/motorcycles-for-sale" } ], "maxItems": 50, "scrapeDetails": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
