What this MachineryTrader scraper does

Extract MachineryTrader construction and heavy equipment listings into clean JSON on Apify: asking price, make, model, year, hours, serial number, dealer phone, location, and images. Built for equipment dealers, appraisers, fleet buyers, and data teams who need a MachineryTrader API alternative in Python, Node.js, or MCP workflows — export to dataset / CSV / Excel without manual browsing.

Use listings for fast catalog pulls (cards already include dealer phone and specs) or details for PDP street-address enrichment. Enable monitorMode with an Apify Schedule to track new inventory and price changes per dealer or category.

When to use

• Dealer competitive intelligence — watch a rival AccountCRMID inventory daily
• Asking-price comps for excavators, mini excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, skid steers, lifts, and aggregate equipment
• Fleet sourcing and replacement planning by manufacturer, model, hours, or US state
• Outreach lists with published dealer phones (no details mode required for most retail cards)
• Join US asking prices with EU stock from Machineryline Scraper

For European dealer boards, use Machineryline Scraper. For industrial auction lots, use Troostwijk Scraper or Surplex Scraper. For farm equipment in Europe, see Agriaffaires Scraper.

Key features

• Search URL or filters — paste a search / dealer inventory / category URL, or build one from manufacturer, category id, keywords, state, and AccountCRMID
• Two modes — listings (fast SSR cards with phone + specs) and details (ld+json address enrichment)
• Monitor mode — seed fingerprints, then emit only new / price_change rows; optional Telegram alerts
• Dealer phones on cards — outreach fields without visiting every PDP
• Cloudflare-ready — curl_cffi Chrome TLS; Apify Residential (US) recommended
• Priced-only filter — skip Call-for-price and zero-price rows
• Listing types — For Retail, For Rent, and Auction Results metadata (sold prices may be login-gated)

Integration examples

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('crawloop/machinerytrader-scraper').call({
  manufacturer: 'CATERPILLAR',
  category: '1031',
  runMode: 'listings',
  maxItems: 50,
  pricedOnly: true,
  proxyConfiguration: {
    useApifyProxy: true,
    apifyProxyGroups: ['RESIDENTIAL'],
    apifyProxyCountry: 'US',
  },
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.slice(0, 3));

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("crawloop/machinerytrader-scraper").call(

        },
    }

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("changeType"), item.get("title"), item.get("price"))

MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via Apify MCP. Connect your Apify account, then call this Actor by its Store ID / name (crawloop/machinerytrader-scraper).

Example prompts:

• "Run MachineryTrader Scraper for CATERPILLAR excavators, max 40, priced only, and return title, price, hours, dealerPhone as JSON"
• "Monitor dealer AccountCRMID 10693 on MachineryTrader and list only new or price-changed rows"
• "Scrape MachineryTrader listings for skid steers in TX, then compare asking prices with Machineryline Scraper for the same make and model"

Suite next step

After US asking prices, pull European dealer stock and contacts with Machineryline Scraper, or industrial auction lots with Surplex Scraper.

FAQ

Is this a MachineryTrader API?
There is no official public bulk API for most users. This Actor is a structured scrape / API alternative that returns a dataset you can call from Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP.

Do I need details mode for dealer phones?
Usually no — retail cards already expose dealerPhone, website, and location. Use details when you need street address from PDP ld+json.

How do I watch one dealer?
Set accountCrmId (from any listing card) or paste a dealer inventory search URL, enable monitorMode, pick a unique monitorStoreName, and schedule the Actor.

Why are Auction Results prices empty?
Sold amounts are often login-gated in anonymous HTML (Price: 0). The Actor still returns auction metadata; use pricedOnly to skip zero rows.

Which proxy should I use?
Apify Residential with apifyProxyCountry: "US" is recommended — the site sits behind Cloudflare.

Can I filter Caterpillar excavators only?
Yes — set manufacturer to CATERPILLAR and category to 1031, or paste an equivalent search URL in startUrls.
