It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## README.md ### Boat24 Discovery Scraper #### Introduction The Boat24 Discovery Scraper is an Apify Actor designed to efficiently extract detailed information from boat listings on the Boat24 website. This tool enables users to gather comprehensive data about boats, including pricing, specifications, and images, facilitating informed decision-making in various applications. #### Features - **Comprehensive Data Extraction**: Captures essential details such as listing ID, title, price, location, condition, year built, engine power, and image URLs. - **High-Quality Data**: Ensures reliable and accurate data collection for analysis and reporting. - **Customizable Crawling**: Allows users to define start URLs and set a maximum number of requests per crawl. - **Efficient Performance**: Optimized for speed and resource management during web scraping tasks. - **User-Friendly Setup**: Simple configuration process with pre-filled examples for ease of use. #### Input Parameters Table | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | |-----------------------|-----------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------| | `startUrls` | array | Yes | URLs to start with. | `[{"url": "https://apify.com"}]` | | `maxRequestsPerCrawl` | integer | No | Maximum number of requests that can be made by this crawler. | `100` | #### Example Usage ##### Input JSON ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.boat24.com/en/powerboats/anytec-boats/anytec-boats-a-27/detail/682733/" } ], "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 100 } ``` ##### Output JSON ```json [ { "listingId": "682733", "title": "Anytec Boats A 27", "detailUrl": "https://www.boat24.com/en/powerboats/anytec-boats/anytec-boats-a-27/detail/682733/", "price": "EUR 96,800", "priceCurrency": "EUR", "priceAmount": 96800, "location": "Switzerland", "condition": "Used boat", "yearBuilt": "2019", "enginePower": "1 x 350 hp / 257 kW", "imageUrl": "https://static.b24.co/thumbs/small/682733-1762763923.jpg", "isTopOffer": false } ] ``` #### Use Cases - **Market Research and Analysis**: Gather data to understand market trends and pricing strategies. - **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor competitors' offerings and adjust business strategies accordingly. - **Price Monitoring**: Track changes in boat prices over time for investment or purchase decisions. - **Content Aggregation**: Compile comprehensive listings for websites, blogs, or newsletters. - **Academic Research**: Collect data for studies related to economics, marketing, or marine industries. - **Business Automation**: Integrate with CRM systems for automated updates on new listings. #### Installation and Usage 1.

Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "boat", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("getdataforme/boat24-discovery-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
