How to scrape a Tradera category or filtered URL

Open Tradera in your browser.

Apply the category, query, or filters you want.

Copy the full URL.

Paste it into Tradera search or category URL.

The actor will keep your URL parameters and paginate with the page parameter.

Use this mode when a Tradera filter is easier to create in the website UI than through actor fields.

}

Output example

{

Tips for better results

Use Swedish keywords when possible.

Try category URLs for cleaner niche datasets.

Start with 20 results to validate your query.

Increase maxItems after you confirm the output matches your target.

Use includeDetails only when detail-only fields are required.

Use exact model names for pricing research.

Use broad category terms for inventory monitoring.

Detail enrichment

When includeDetails is disabled, the actor extracts data from search result pages only.

This is the fastest mode.

When includeDetails is enabled, the actor opens each listing URL.

That can add description, visits, category name, condition, seller rating, and more image URLs.

Detail enrichment makes one extra HTTP request per listing.

For large datasets, test a small sample first.

Integrations

Send new Tradera rows to Google Sheets for daily monitoring.

Load CSV exports into Excel or Power BI for price analysis.

Call the dataset API from a repricing script.

Connect Apify webhooks to Slack for newly discovered products.

Use Make or Zapier to append rows to your internal inventory tracker.

Store periodic runs in a database for historical price curves.

Limitations

The actor extracts public Tradera pages only.

It does not log into accounts.

It does not place bids or buy items.

It does not bypass private user data.

If Tradera changes its Next.js page structure, extraction logic may need an update.

Very filtered pages may return fewer listings than requested.

Legality

This actor collects publicly visible listing information.

You should use the data responsibly.

Review Tradera's terms and applicable laws for your use case.

Do not collect personal data you do not need.

Do not use scraped data for spam, harassment, or prohibited profiling.

FAQ

Why did I get fewer listings than requested?

The search or category may have fewer visible results, or Tradera may stop returning new unique items on later pages.

Try a broader query or a category URL.

Why is description empty?

Description is available from listing detail pages.

Enable includeDetails to collect it.

Can I scrape ended auctions?

The actor follows what the supplied Tradera URL returns.

If your URL shows ended or completed listings publicly, paste that URL into searchUrl.

Can I scrape seller pages?

This version is optimized for search and category URLs.

Seller-page support can be added later if demand justifies it.
