Mascus Scraper API

The Piloterr Mascus Scraper API lets you extract public data from Mascus as clean, structured JSON — no proxies, headless browsers or HTML parsing to maintain. Endpoints available in production:

• Mascus Ad API — Get full details for a Mascus used equipment listing: specs, price, seller and description.
• Mascus Search API — Search used equipment listings on Mascus from a category URL, with pagination that keeps country and category filters.

Use it for listing monitoring, price benchmarks, stock sourcing or market analytics on second-hand and vehicle marketplaces.

Endpoint	Path	Credits	What you get
Mascus Ad API	/v2/mascus/ad	1	Get full details for a Mascus used equipment listing
Mascus Search API	/v2/mascus/search	1	Search used equipment listings on Mascus from a category URL, with pagination that keeps country and category filters.

How it works

1. Create a free Piloterr account and copy your API key from the dashboard.
2. Send a GET (or POST) request to https://api.piloterr.com/v2/... with the header x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY.
3. Receive structured JSON — Piloterr handles rendering, proxies, retries and parsing.

export PILOTERR_API_KEY="your-api-key"
pip install requests        # Python
# TypeScript: Node.js 18+ (native fetch), run with `npx tsx file.ts`

Every endpoint accepts both GET (query string) and POST (JSON body with the same fields).

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Mascus?

Collecting publicly available data is generally allowed in many jurisdictions, but rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Avoid personal data unless you have a lawful basis, respect the website's terms where they apply, and get legal advice for your specific use case. This is not legal advice.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. Piloterr handles rendering, proxy rotation and retries on its side. You only send an HTTPS request with your x-api-key header and receive JSON.

How much does a request cost?

Credits per call: /v2/mascus/ad 1, /v2/mascus/search 1. See the Piloterr website for plans.

What data does the Mascus API return?

Each endpoint returns structured JSON: Mascus Ad — brand, model, meta_data, meta_data.meta_title, catalog_name, company_city; Mascus Search — results[], results[].url, results[].brand, results[].model, results[].image_url, results[].rental_ad.

How do I paginate Mascus results?

Use the page parameter and keep requesting while the response indicates more results.

Which languages are supported?

Any language that can make an HTTP request. This README shows Python and TypeScript; the examples/ folder contains cURL, PHP, C#, Go, Java, Ruby and Node.js.
