Maschinensucher Machine Listings & Deal Finder

Turn Maschinensucher category pages into structured used-machine sourcing data. Collect public prices, machine attributes, location, condition, seller trust signals, and optional technical details, then rank comparatively low-priced listings within the current run.

Use the Actor for:

• used-machine sourcing and procurement research;
• asking-price and market comparisons;
• dealer or category inventory monitoring;
• auction and classified-listing analysis;
• JSON, CSV, Excel, API, webhook, and scheduled workflows.

Start with a small useful run

The prefilled input collects up to 20 publicly priced filling-equipment listings from the first category page. It skips individual offer pages so the first dataset arrives quickly.

1. Open a category on Maschinensucher and copy its URL ending in /ci-<number>.
2. Paste the URL into Category URLs, or keep the prefilled example.
3. Click Start and open the Machine offers dataset.

{
  "categoryUrls": [
    "https://www.maschinensucher.de/Abfuellanlagen-und-Abfuelltechnik/ci-24"
  ],
  "maxPagesPerCategory": 1,
  "maxOffers": 20,

  "onlyWithPrice": true,

Enable Visit offer pages when you need descriptions and technical attributes. Add country or German-state filters when the sourcing region matters.

What you receive

Every record can include:

• listing ID, canonical URL, category, and source position;
• listing type, title, manufacturer, model, year, condition, and functionality;
• current and previous public price, currency, price qualifier, and VAT basis;
• location, seller trust signals, and image URLs;
• optional description and technical attributes;
• deal score, comparable count, observed median, discount to median, percentile, confidence, and risk warnings.

OUTPUT contains run health, limits, timings, failure counts, and isPartial. CATEGORY_CATALOG contains the top-level categories observed during the run.

Deal score interpretation

Deal scores compare eligible classified listings gathered in the same run and currency. The comparison prefers the same manufacturer, model, category, and a compatible production year, then falls back to broader machine-type or category cohorts.

A score appears only when the selected data contains at least minimumComparables suitable offers. Auctions, price-on-request listings, and unpriced listings are excluded from ordinary asking-price comparisons. Treat the score as a screening signal rather than an appraisal or purchase recommendation.

Pricing and run sizing

The Store currently lists a $0.50 Actor start and $0.01 per result. At those rates, a successful 20-result default run costs up to $0.70 in Actor events. Check the Pricing tab before running because Store pricing can change.

The default run uses one category page and no detail requests. For deeper research, enable details or increase pages in a separate run after validating the category and output.

Reliability

• Apify Proxy is required for every request.
• Exact pagination and listing-ID deduplication prevent invented or repeated results.
• Bounded retries and session rotation handle temporary failures.
• A card record survives if optional detail enrichment fails.
• Partial runs preserve valid results and report their status in OUTPUT.
• The Actor does not log in, solve CAPTCHAs, submit forms, make purchases, or collect gated seller contact details.

Authorization and responsible use

This independent Actor is not affiliated with Maschinensucher or Machineseeker Group GmbH. Maschinensucher's terms state that third-party further processing and use of listings requires prior written consent. Use the Actor only with authorization covering your crawl, storage, and publication scope.

Confirm machine scope, tax treatment, transport, condition, seller identity, and total acquisition cost independently before acting on a listing.
