Kleinanzeigen Scraper

What does Kleinanzeigen Scraper do?

Kleinanzeigen Scraper extracts structured listing data from Kleinanzeigen.de (formerly eBay Kleinanzeigen) -- Germany's largest classifieds marketplace with millions of active listings. Enter search keywords and get detailed data: titles, prices, descriptions, locations, seller info, images, categories, and listing attributes.

The scraper uses pure HTTP requests (no browser) so it runs fast and cheap. It handles pagination automatically, supports location and price filters, and can optionally visit each listing's detail page for complete data including full descriptions, all images, seller profiles, and item attributes.

Tips for best results

• Start small -- begin with maxResults: 25 and includeDetails: false to verify your search returns what you expect. Scale up once confirmed.
• Use location filters -- Kleinanzeigen results are much more relevant when filtered by city. Add the city name to your search query or use the location parameter.
• Enable details selectively -- includeDetails: true visits each listing page individually, which is slower and costs more. Use it when you need full descriptions, all images, or seller info.
• Price filters save time -- use minPrice and maxPrice to skip irrelevant listings rather than filtering after scraping.
• Schedule weekly runs -- set up recurring runs to track new listings in your niche. Combine with Google Sheets integration to build a living database.
• German keywords work best -- search in German for more accurate results (e.g., "Wohnung" instead of "apartment").
• Multiple searches in one run -- add multiple keywords to searchQueries to scrape different categories in a single run. Each keyword runs a separate search.

Integrations

• Kleinanzeigen Scraper + Google Sheets -- automatically export new listings to a spreadsheet. Track pricing trends for used cars, electronics, or furniture over time.

FAQ

How fast is Kleinanzeigen Scraper? Very fast. Since it uses pure HTTP requests (no browser), it can scrape ~25 listings per second from search results. With detail page enrichment enabled, speed depends on network latency but typically processes 5 listings per second.

How much does it cost to scrape 1,000 listings? Without details: approximately $1.00. With full details: approximately $3.00. The free Apify plan ($5/month) covers thousands of listings.

Why are some fields empty in search-only mode? Fields like description, sellerName, sellerType, postedDate, attributes, and full imageUrls are only available when includeDetails is enabled. Search results provide a subset of data (title, price, location, thumbnail).

Why do some listings show priceNumeric: null? Some listings on Kleinanzeigen have no fixed price -- they show only "VB" (Verhandlungsbasis, meaning "negotiable"). In these cases, priceNumeric is null but isNegotiable is true.

Can I scrape listings in a specific category? Yes. Use the categoryId parameter with the Kleinanzeigen category code (e.g., "c176" for electronics, "c86" for cars, "c210" for furniture). You can find category IDs in the Kleinanzeigen URL when browsing categories.

Why are results empty for my search? Check that your search keywords are in German. Kleinanzeigen is a German-language platform, so English keywords may return no results. Also verify the location name uses the German spelling (e.g., "muenchen" not "munich").
