Subito.it Scraper — Used Car, Real Estate & Job Listings Data (Italy)

Extract structured classified listings from Subito.it, Italy's largest marketplace, for used car price monitoring, real estate market research, and job-market analysis. Get prices, vehicle specs, geo data, and seller info for every ad — directly from the page's embedded JSON payload, no headless browser required.

Main Use Cases

• Used car price monitoring — track private and dealer asking prices for any make/model across all 20 Italian regions
• Real estate market research — collect asking prices for houses, apartments and offices by region and city
• Job listings & labor-market analysis — pull job ads with company, location and contract details
• Second-hand electronics & goods data — smartphones, laptops, home & garden items at marketplace scale
• Dealer & seller lead lists — structured seller names, shop IDs and seller types for B2B outreach
• Price-drop and availability alerts — schedule daily runs and diff datasets to catch repriced or new listings

How It Works

The actor fetches Subito.it listing pages with lightweight HTTP requests and parses the __NEXT_DATA__ JSON payload embedded in every page — the same structured data the site renders itself. Each search page contains up to 30 ads, which the actor paginates automatically until maxItems or maxPages is reached. No Playwright, no browser overhead: runs are roughly 10x faster and far cheaper than browser-based crawlers. Every ad is flattened into a clean JSON record and written to an Apify Dataset.

Extract Used Car Listings with Full Vehicle Specs

Cars are the single largest category on Subito.it. This actor returns structured vehicle attributes per listing — make, model, version, year, mileage, fuel type, transmission, power, color and registration date — so you can build regional used-car price indexes without parsing HTML.

Build Real Estate Databases Without an Official Subito API

Subito.it offers no public API for listing data. This actor reads the same data the website serves and exports it as clean JSON/CSV — an unofficial Subito.it API alternative for property investors, relocation services and market analysts.

Monitor Job Listings Across Italy

Feed a query and region to pull job ads with structured fields (title, description, category, geo). Useful for HR-tech products, labor-market research and candidate sourcing workflows.

Input

Configure the actor from the Input tab. All fields are optional — default behavior scrapes Italy-wide used-goods listings.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
startUrls	{url: string}[]	No	[]	Listing/search page URLs to crawl. Overrides query and category when set.
query	string	No	""	Keyword filter (e.g. mercedes, iphone). Used when startUrls is empty.
category	string	No	""	Numeric category ID: 15 = Auto, 16 = Moto, 5 = Elettronica, 26 = Informatica, 21 = Casa e Giardino. Used when startUrls is empty.
maxItems	integer	No	100	Approximate maximum ads to scrape.
maxPages	integer	No	10	Maximum listing pages to crawl (1 page = 30 ads). 0 = no page limit (capped by maxItems).
proxyConfiguration	object	No	{"useApifyProxy": false}	Apify proxy settings. Enable for large crawls — Subito.it runs on Akamai CDN.

Example Input

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.subito.it/annunci-italia/vendita/auto/?q=bmw" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 300,
  "maxPages": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

Or generate search URLs from a query and category:

{
  "query": "volkswagen golf",
  "category": "15",
  "maxItems": 120,
  "maxPages": 5
}

Cost Estimation

Results are billed at $0.0008 per extracted ad, plus a negligible per-GB start fee. A typical small crawl (100 ads / ~4 pages) costs well under $0.01. For large crawls, enabling residential proxy adds proxy usage per your Apify plan.

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the official Subito.it API?

Subito.it does not provide a public listings API — its endpoints are private and require internal access. This actor reads the structured __NEXT_DATA__ payload served on every public page, so you get the same listing data without an API key, login or browser stack.

How can I get Subito.it data programmatically (API alternative)?

Run this actor from the Apify API (POST /v2/acts/ahmed_jasarevic~subito-scraper/runs) and pull results from the dataset — that is the working Subito.it API alternative used by price trackers, market researchers and AI agents.

What are alternatives to this actor / where else can I find Italian used-car data?

• AutoScout24.it — dealer-heavy inventory (see our BMW Italy Scraper)
• The Subito.it Automotive and Real Estate actors by emastra
• Bright Data's managed Subito price tracker and internal hades.subito.it endpoint for advanced users

Can I extract seller contact data (phone/email)?

The actor returns seller name, seller type (private/shop), shop ID and user ID. Phone numbers and emails are not among the extracted fields.

How fast and how much does a run cost?

Each listing page = 30 ads. Scraping 100 ads across ~4 pages takes seconds and costs under $0.01 in total (results at $0.0008 each).

How often should I run it?

For price monitoring, run daily on a schedule. For market snapshots or dealer data, weekly is usually enough. Diff datasets across runs by the unique urn field.

Competitive Positioning

Verified against competing Subito actors on the Apify Store (check their input schemas and pricing pages):

Capability	Competitors	This actor
Price per result	$0.005 (emastra motori), $0.001 (azzouzana), $0.00199 (nogards95)	$0.0008 — lowest in cluster
Vehicle specs (mileage, fuel, transmission, power, year)	Partial (emastra only)	✅ Standard on all auto listings
Categories covered	Automotive-only or real-estate-only (emastra), universal but $1/1K (azzouzana)	✅ Cars + real estate + jobs + marketplace in one actor
Browser-free extraction	Some use browsers (higher cost)	✅ __NEXT_DATA__ JSON, Cheerio only

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Returns one structured JSON record per Subito.it classified listing — title, price, vehicle specs, geo and seller data — for price monitoring, market research and lead generation.

Minimal working input (listing crawl):

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.subito.it/annunci-italia/vendita/usato/" }],
  "maxItems": 30,
  "maxPages": 1
}

Variant — query + category (search crawl):

{ "query": "bmw", "category": "15", "maxItems": 50, "maxPages": 2 }

Output fields: urn, title, description, adType, category, categoryId, url, date, images, price, condition, mileage, fuel, transmission, year, make, model, version, color, power, registrationDate, region, city, town, sellerName, sellerType, shopId, userId

Behaviors an agent should know:

• startUrls takes priority: when set, query and category are ignored
• Each listing page contains up to 30 ads; maxPages: 0 means "no page limit" (still capped by maxItems)
• maxItems is approximate — actual output may slightly exceed it at page boundaries
• price, year, mileage etc. are returned as strings (e.g. "47000", "400 Km"), not numbers
• Enable proxyConfiguration.useApifyProxy: true for crawls above a few hundred ads (Akamai CDN blocks datacenter IPs at volume)

Billing: pay-per-result — $0.0008 per dataset record, plus a small per-GB start fee.
