Agroads Scraper is an Apify Actor that collects public ads from agroads.com.ar, the Argentine classifieds site for agricultural machinery. The dataset has 62 columns across three record types, a full ad row carries about 40 of them, prices come as a number with the currency (USD or ARS), and a run of 3 ads finishes in about 6 seconds.

🎯 Target audience	💡 Primary use cases
Machinery dealers and brokers	Competitor stock and asking prices by brand, model and year
Farm lenders, insurers and appraisers	Used tractor and harvester valuation, price per hour of use
Exporters and importers	Sourcing lists of used machinery in Argentina with photos and location
Manufacturers and parts sellers	Dealer directory, market share by brand, spare part demand
Data teams and researchers	Argentine agricultural equipment price history and monitoring

📋 What the Agroads Scraper does

The Actor reads the same public pages every visitor of agroads.com.ar sees. Three modes cover the site.

• search: ads of the sections you pick (18 choices, from all machinery to tractors, harvesters, seeders, sprayers, trucks, pickups, trailers, spare parts and farm equipment), with optional words, brands, provinces, condition, seller type, price limits in USD, engine power, hours of use, commercial terms and sort order. List cards are fast. Turn on Open every ad to add the full page of each ad.
• urls: paste ad addresses, list page addresses (seccion.asp?subcat=10), dealer pages (/e/zanello-cmz-s-a/) or plain ad numbers. Several kinds can be mixed in one run.
• dealers: the 756 dealer, shop and manufacturer pages of the site with name, address, member since, years in the sector, ad count and ads per category. A name filter narrows the list.

A monitor option works in search mode: return only ads you have not seen, and report ads whose price changed.

📊 Output

Every row has a recordType: machine (an ad), dealer (a dealer page) or changed-listing (monitor). Fields without a value are left out, never filled with null. Column order is fixed: image first, identity and price next, then specs, terms, location, media, seller, and scrapedAt last.

✨ Why choose this Actor

• 🧩 Three modes, one dataset: ads, full ad pages, dealer pages and price changes, each billed separately so you pay only for what you read.
• 🌾 Whole site coverage: 18 section choices, including the spare parts and farm equipment sections that most machinery scrapers skip.
• 🔒 Private sellers stay private: their names and phone numbers are never output, and phone numbers or e-mails typed into their texts are replaced with a marker.
• 🛡️ Filters you can trust: every filter is applied by the site, applied by reading a whole section subcategory by subcategory, or checked against each row, and none is silently ignored. A text search is cut off when the site drifts outside your section.
• 🔁 Monitor mode: scheduled runs return only new ads, or ads whose price moved.
• ⚡ Light to run: plain HTTP, no browser, peak memory about 100 MB in the cloud.

💼 Business use cases

Dealers and brokers track competitor stock and asking prices by brand and year. Lenders, insurers and appraisers value used tractors and harvesters with a price per hour of use. Exporters build sourcing lists with photos and the province of each machine. Manufacturers and parts sellers read the dealer directory and the spare part section. Analysts follow Argentine machinery prices over time with monitor mode.

🔌 Automating and integrations

Schedule runs in Apify Console and send results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airbyte or your own webhook. The Apify API and the JavaScript and Python clients start runs and read datasets.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Apify MCP server (mcp.apify.com) to Claude, Cursor or another MCP client and the Actor appears as a tool.

Tool description: Scrape agroads.com.ar (Argentina) machinery ads into typed rows with price and currency, make, model, year, hours, power, province, photos and dealer. Also lists dealers and reports new ads and price changes.

Example agent prompt: "Get 30 used John Deere tractors in Córdoba from agroads.com.ar, cheapest first." The agent sends { "mode": "search", "categories": ["tractors"], "brands": ["John Deere"], "provinces": ["Córdoba"], "condition": "used", "sortBy": "price", "maxItems": 30 } and analyzes the rows.

⚠️ Limits and legal

The Actor reads public pages only and honours the robots.txt of the site. The site terms of use reserve its content, so use the data under them and under the privacy law that applies to you. Coordinates are those of the listing city, sorting by price mixes dollar and peso ads, and the site shows hours of use but no kilometers.

Frequently Asked Questions

🚜 What data can I scrape from agroads.com.ar?

Machinery ads: tractors, combine harvesters, seeders, sprayers, fertilizer spreaders, mowers, balers, headers, hoppers, trucks, pickups, trailers, semi-trailers, road machinery, spare parts and farm equipment, plus the dealer pages. Each ad has price and currency, make, model, year, condition, location, photos and payment terms, and full ads add power, hours, description, coordinates and rating.

🔎 How do I scrape ads for one brand or province?

Add the brand names to Brands (Zanello, Massey Ferguson) and the provinces to Provinces. Brands are matched to the site's own brand list per section, and a brand the site does not list for a section is searched as text, with the log saying so. A province with no ads returns nothing.

🔢 How many ads can one search return?

Everything the site shows for the filters. A list page holds up to 60 ads, and the Actor follows the site's own next-page link: all tractors (5,430 on 2026-10-18) take 91 pages. Maximum list pages per search defaults to 100 pages (6,000 ads), so raise it for very large sections.

🆕 Why does newest first return so few ads on a whole section?

On a whole section (all machinery, spare parts, farm equipment) the site lists only its latest new ads when sorted newest first (475 of 33,894 for all machinery on 2026-10-18). A single category such as tractors is complete in that order. For the entire section choose the site default sort (relevance) or split by category. The log says so when it happens.

🎚️ How do condition, power and hours work on a whole section?

agroads.com.ar applies the new-or-used, engine power and hours filters only inside a subcategory and ignores them on a whole-section page (all machinery, spare parts, farm equipment). When you set one of them with a whole-section choice, the Actor reads that section's subcategories one by one, biggest first, with the filter applied by the site in each, so the result is exact. Sorting then applies inside each subcategory, not across the whole section. Subcategories that have no power or hours field (mowers, balers, brush cutters, road machinery) return nothing for those two filters. Seller type, province, price, commercial condition, offers and text search work on the whole section directly. As a last check, an ad whose own data clearly falls outside the condition, seller type, power, hours or USD price you asked for is left out, and the log counts how many.

🔤 How does the text search behave?

It is the site's own relevance search. It can map words to a brand or category and show similar ads, so the Actor keeps only ads of the sections you chose, drops the "similar offers" block and stops when two pages in a row hold none. Use the brand and category filters when you need an exact set.

💵 Which currency is used?

Each ad is priced in USD or ARS and the currency field says which. Price limits are in USD. Ads without a price carry priceOnRequest: true and no price, and Only ads with a price skips them.

🕒 Is there mileage?

No. The site publishes hours of work (hoursUsed) for machines and no kilometers, so there is no mileage field. Trucks and pickups usually have a year and no hours either, and the field is left out when the seller did not fill it in.

🧑 Does it return names, phones or e-mails?

Private sellers are never named and their phone numbers are never output (isPrivateSeller: true). Phone numbers and e-mails in their texts are replaced with [phone removed] and [email removed]. Businesses are named with their dealer page, and Include dealer contact details adds their WhatsApp number. The site's private-seller filter also returns sellers that show a trade name on the list card, so everything that filter returns is treated as private. In a list-only run without it, only cards tagged Particular are recognised as private, so turn on Fetch full ad details or set Seller type to private when that split matters.

🔁 How do I get only new ads or price changes?

Turn on Only new ads and give the search a Monitor name. The first run returns the ads found, later runs return only ads not seen before. With Report price changes an ad whose price moved comes back as a changed-listing row with previousPrice, priceChange and priceChangePct.

🛡️ Do I need a proxy or an API key?

The site rate limits each IP address, so the Actor uses the Apify datacenter proxy by default, with a fresh session for every request. That proxy is part of your Apify account and nothing else is needed. Without a proxy the site starts answering with a challenge after about 5 requests.

🧪 What happens if my input is wrong or nothing matches?

Invalid input, for example a minimum price above the maximum, ends the run as succeeded with one free error row that explains the fix, and nothing is charged. A search with no matches finishes with no rows, also at no charge.

🆓 What do free plans get?

Free plans return up to 10 items per run, which is enough to test every mode and check the fields. Paid plans have no item cap beyond the Maximum items you set.

📤 Which formats can I export?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML and RSS from the dataset page in Apify Console, or through the Apify API and the JavaScript and Python clients. Column order is fixed, with the image first and the scrape time last, so exports line up between runs.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape agroads.com.ar?

The Actor reads public pages that need no login and does not touch private data. The site terms of use reserve the rights to its content, so use the data in line with them and with the privacy law that applies to you.
