## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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).

Extract used machinery listings from **exapro.com** and regional domains (`.fr`, `.de.com`, `.cz`, `.ru`, `.pl`, …) into clean JSON datasets on Apify. Supports category URLs, direct product pages, and text search via Exapro's Luigi's Box backend — with `listings` mode for fast catalog scans and `details` mode for technical specs, descriptions, and image galleries.

Cloudflare-protected pages are handled with `curl_cffi` Chrome 120 JA3 fingerprint emulation. No headless browser overhead — lightweight HTTP requests at high concurrency.

### When to use this Actor

Use the **Exapro Scraper** when you need European used machinery listings with deep technical specs, product descriptions, images, and multi-language regional domain support.

For Resale.info listings, use the [Resale.info Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/resale-scraper). For Machineseeker / Maschinensucher inventories, use the [Machineseeker Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineseeker-scraper). For excavators, trucks, and agricultural equipment, use the [Machineryline Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineryline-scraper). For industrial auctions, use [Troostwijk](https://apify.com/crawloop/troostwijk-scraper) or [Surplex](https://apify.com/crawloop/surplex-scraper).

### Key Features

- **Universal language and domain support** — Feed URLs from any regional Exapro site; localized fields, currencies, and formatting are resolved automatically.
- **Direct search API integration** — Text queries hit Exapro's Luigi's Box backend for fast, paginated, localized results without browser automation.
- **Two extraction modes** — `listings` for card-level specs, titles, pricing, and country; `details` for PDP galleries, technical spec tables, and descriptions.
- **Cloudflare WAF bypass** — `curl_cffi` Chrome 120 impersonation for reliable access at scale.
- **No headless browser overhead** — Highly concurrent, resource-friendly HTTP extraction.
