Kleinanzeigen.de Scraper - German Classifieds Data API

Scrape 50+ million listings from kleinanzeigen.de (formerly eBay Kleinanzeigen) — Germany's largest classifieds marketplace. This Actor talks directly to the mobile JSON API (the same one the official Android app uses), returning structured data the website never shows: exact GPS coordinates, seller type, price type, typed attributes, high-res images, and precise timestamps.

No API key required. No browser automation. Just clean, structured JSON from Germany's biggest C2C marketplace.

Why This Actor?

Kleinanzeigen.de has no official public API. The old eBay Kleinanzeigen endpoints are dead. This Actor fills the gap by using the mobile JSON API (api.kleinanzeigen.de) — the same backend the Android app uses — to return richer data than the website itself:

GPS coordinates	Approximate circle	Exact lat/long
Price type	Shows "VB" text	Structured (FIXED, NEGOTIABLE, GIVE_AWAY)
Seller type	Basic badge	Full seller object with type, ID, account info
Attributes	Limited display	Complete typed key-value pairs
Images	Thumbnail only	Up to 1600px via CDN
Timestamps	Relative ("vor 2 Stunden")	ISO 8601 format
Rate limits	Browser-based throttling	Built-in residential proxy rotation

• Keep maxPages reasonable — 50 pages = 1,250 ads. Going beyond may trigger rate limits
• Schedule runs — use Apify's scheduler to monitor listings daily and get notified of new ads
• Combine with detail enrichment — enable fetchDetails when you need full ad data, phone availability, and view counts

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use this Actor instead of the Kleinanzeigen API?

Kleinanzeigen.de has no official public API. The old eBay Kleinanzeigen endpoints (api.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de) are no longer accessible. This Actor uses the mobile JSON API that the official Android app relies on — the only working programmatic access point for Kleinanzeigen data.

How do I scrape Kleinanzeigen listings?

1. Go to kleinanzeigen.de and perform a search
2. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
3. Paste it into the searchUrl field in this Actor's input
4. Set maxPages and maxItems as needed
5. Click Start — results appear in the Output tab

Can I filter by price, location, or seller type?

Yes. Build your search on kleinanzeigen.de with all desired filters (price range, location, radius, category, seller type), then paste the resulting URL into the Actor. All filters encoded in the URL are preserved.

Does this work for real estate and cars?

Yes. The Actor works across all Kleinanzeigen categories — electronics, furniture, cars, real estate, fashion, jobs, and services. Paste any category-specific search URL and the Actor handles the rest.

What's the difference between "FIXED" and "NEGOTIABLE" price types?

• FIXED (Festpreis): The seller expects the listed price, no negotiation
• NEGOTIABLE (VB/Verhandlungsbasis): Price is open to negotiation
• GIVE_AWAY (Zu verschenken): Free items

Can I schedule recurring scrapes?

Yes. Use Apify's Scheduler to run this Actor on a daily, weekly, or custom schedule. Combine with Apify's webhook integration to get email, Slack, or Discord notifications when new listings appear.

Is scraping Kleinanzeigen legal?

This Actor extracts publicly available listing data — the same information any visitor can see on the website. All data is visible without logging in. Users are responsible for complying with German data protection laws (GDPR/DSGVO) and Kleinanzeigen's Terms of Service.

Alternatives to this Kleinanzeigen scraper

There are several Kleinanzeigen scrapers on Apify. What sets this one apart is the mobile API approach — it talks directly to api.kleinanzeigen.de, returning GPS coordinates, exact timestamps, and rich metadata that HTML-based scrapers miss. If you need basic listing data, any scraper works. If you need location precision, price type classification, and seller metadata, use this Actor.
