How much does it cost to scrape 2dehands listings?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small $0.005 run-start event plus a tiered per-listing event.

The platform BRONZE listing price is $0.0001 per extracted listing, with lower per-listing prices on higher Apify tiers.

Start with a low maxResults value for your first run.

Increase it after you confirm that the output matches your workflow.

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Add one or more 2dehands category URLs.
3. Optionally add keyword searches.
4. Set maxResults.
5. Run the actor.
6. Download the dataset or connect it to your workflow.

Tips for better results

• Use category URLs when you want broad inventory.
• Use search keywords when you monitor a specific product.
• Keep the first run small.
• Schedule recurring runs for price monitoring.
• Combine sourceUrl and scrapedAt to compare snapshots over time.

Pagination behavior

The actor reads the first page for each URL or keyword.

When more results are needed, it follows the marketplace /p/<page>/ pagination pattern.

It stops when maxResults is reached or the source has no more listings.

Integrations

Use the dataset with:

• Google Sheets for price tracking.
• Airtable for lead review.
• Make or Zapier for alerts.
• Apify webhooks for notifications.
• Your data warehouse for trend analysis.

Data quality notes

The actor reads fields exposed by the public result page.

Some listings may not include every field.

For example, private sellers may omit location details or the marketplace may omit price for some ad types.

The actor keeps optional fields empty rather than inventing data.

FAQ

Can I scrape both 2dehands and 2ememain?

Yes. Use Dutch 2dehands.be URLs directly, French 2ememain.be URLs directly, or set language to choose the default site for keyword searches.

Do I need a marketplace account?

No. This actor extracts public search and category listing data that is available without login.

Can I monitor prices over time?

Yes. Schedule recurring runs and compare datasets by id, price, sourceUrl, and scrapedAt.

Troubleshooting

I received fewer results than requested

The selected category or keyword may have fewer public listings, or the marketplace may cap pagination for that query.

Try a broader category URL or a lower maxResults value.

My keyword returns unrelated listings

2dehands controls search ranking and matching.

Use a more specific keyword or a category URL for tighter results.

Legality and responsible use

This actor extracts publicly available marketplace data.

You are responsible for using the data in accordance with applicable laws, marketplace terms, and privacy rules.

Do not scrape personal data beyond what is necessary for your legitimate use case.
