? Frequently Asked Questions

Is extracting data from RitchieSpecs legal?

RitchieSpecs Scraper only accesses publicly available data - the same specification information visible to any visitor without logging in. The scraper applies reasonable rate limiting to avoid overloading the source servers.

As with any data collection activity, you are responsible for ensuring your use case complies with applicable laws (GDPR, CCPA) and RitchieSpecs' Terms of Service. For guidance, see Apify's blog on the legality of web scraping.

Does RitchieSpecs Scraper require an account or credentials?

No. RitchieSpecs Scraper works entirely with publicly available data. No RitchieSpecs account, login, or credentials of any kind are required.

How many models can I extract?

RitchieSpecs Scraper can extract the full RitchieSpecs catalog - currently 10,000+ models across 55 equipment types in 7 industry sectors. Use the equipment type and category group selectors to control scope.

How does the manufacturer filter work?

Enter manufacturer slugs (e.g. caterpillar, john-deere, komatsu) to limit results to specific brands. The filter matches against model slug prefixes. Run once without the filter to discover all available manufacturer slugs in the output.

Do I need to configure proxies?

No. The scraper works without proxies from most locations. If you experience any issues, try increasing requestDelayMs before enabling proxy rotation.

I found a bug or my run failed. Where do I report it?

Please open an issue in the Issues tab on this page. Include your input configuration and the run ID so we can investigate quickly.
