DBA Scraper: Denmark Classifieds, Cars, Prices

DBA scraper for DBA.dk (Den Blå Avis), Denmark's largest online marketplace: search DBA's marketplace (general goods: furniture, electronics, clothes, children's things, art and every other category) and its vehicles (cars, motorcycles, mopeds and scooters, ATVs, boats, caravans, motorhomes, trucks, buses, construction machinery, tractors, farm machinery, combine harvesters) by keyword, category, DBA area or town, map radius, DBA's own filters, a dealer, a plate or VIN, a pasted DBA link or an ad id, and get every ad as one row: title, price in Danish kroner, place and DBA area, map point, photos, private seller or company, and on vehicles make, model, model year, mileage in km, fuel, gearbox and the vehicle type's own facts. Every search also gives a free price summary of the ads it met, by DBA area and by category or make. Add the ad page for the full description, every key fact, the inspection dates, equipment, the shop profile or the dealer card with its CVR number, and on vehicles DBA's own list of similar vehicles and a market valuation from the asking prices of comparable ads. No login, no cookies, no residential proxy.

Who uses it: resellers and flippers pricing second hand goods and hunting vintage Danish furniture, car, MC, boat, caravan and machine dealers watching other dealers' stock and prices, buyers abroad looking for Danish design, analysts of Denmark's second hand and used car markets by area and category, and teams feeding DBA data into their own sheets, apps or AI agents.

Quick start

  1. Open the Input tab. In What to search pick Marketplace (general goods), Vehicles (cars, MC, boats and more) or both.
  2. Add Keywords (sofa, barnevogn, spisebord), Marketplace categories by DBA's Danish name (
    Møbler og indretning
    , Sofaer og lænestole, Mobiltelefoner) or Vehicle types (cars are the default), and Places (
    København og omegn
    , Odense, Aarhus N).
  3. Narrow it with DBA's filters: price, seller (Privat or Forhandler), condition, ad type, brand, Fiks færdig only; on vehicles Makes and Models, model year, mileage in km, Fuel, Gearbox, Body or type, Equipment (Anhængertræk for a towbar), Registration class (Varebil ex. moms for vans) and the type's own filters. Or give Dealer ids (vehicles), Plates to look up (vehicles), VINs to look up (vehicles), or paste DBA links into Search links and Ad links or DBA ad ids.
  4. Turn on Include the ad page (Ad details) for the full ad, and on vehicles Add similar vehicles (add-on) or Add a market valuation (add-on) if you want them. Set Maximum rows and click Start. Download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the Apify API.

The prefilled input reads 20 sofas (sofa) in København og omegn from the marketplace: 20 Listing events and 1 Results page, $0.0458 at Gold and $0.0612 on the Free plan with the start fee (4 seconds on a test run of 2026-10-24). For a daily feed, schedule the run in Apify (set Posted within (hours) to 24) and keep the ad ids you have seen in your own sheet or flow: this Actor keeps no memory between runs.

What you get

One row per ad (type: "listing", vertical: "marketplace" or "vehicles"), one free coverage row per search with its price summary (type: "search"), free status rows for anything that could not be delivered (type: "status") and a run summary (type: "summary"). Every price is in Danish kroner (currency: "DKK"). A field DBA does not show for an ad is null.

Fill rates measured

The share of delivered rows that carry each field, measured on the test actor's runs of 2026-10-24 (builds 0.1.2 and 0.1.3; run files platform-results/<run>.items.json, each ad counted once per column, the run with Include personal data on left out). Marketplace, search row: 2,526 rows from 14 runs (dba-t5-worst-marketplace-1000 981, dba-t5-keyword-tail-left-out 812, dba-t2-marketplace-300-rows 600, 11 smaller runs 133). Marketplace, Ad details: 61 rows from 3 runs (dba-t6-worst-50-searches-one-row-details 50, dba-t1-marketplace-details-category 9, dba-t4-ad-links 2). Vehicles, search row: 1,033 rows from 6 runs (dba-t5-worst-cars-1000 1,000 cars, 5 runs of the other types 33). Vehicles, Ad details: 113 rows from 9 runs (dba-t5-worst-50-dealers-one-row 50, dba-t3-dealer-stock 19, dba-t4-private-sellers-off 10, 6 smaller runs 34), 98 of them cars and 73 of them dealers' ads, so the business fields there stand for dealers. A private seller's plate and VIN are counted with personal data off, so they appear only on business rows here and on runs with Include personal data on. "n/a": not a field of that row.

The dealer card and the shop profile

With the ad page, every dealer ad carries dealer: DBA's dealer id (id, the one Dealer ids (vehicles) takes), name, the Danish CVR number (orgNumber) with its company register link (registryUrl, datacvr.virk.dk), address, phone, email, website, logo, description, openingHours, openingNow, sellingPoints, yearsOnDba (DBA's own text, such as "5+ år på DBA"), adCount (the dealer's ads on DBA), pageUrl and adsUrl (DBA's search of the dealer's ads). A marketplace shop's ad page fills the row's company fields (name, address, phone, website, CVR number, logo) and companyPageUrl. A CVR number names a business, so these are business data and always delivered.

Example row

One dealer car of a test run of 2026-10-24 (dba-t2-cars-details-addons, the test actor's build 0.1.2) with the ad page, similar vehicles and the market valuation, trimmed to the main fields (the full row has 191 keys):

The coverage row of each search, with its price summary (free)

Every search ends with one free row: DBA's count of ads (adsOnDba), the filters sent (filtersSent), DBA's order (order), pages and rows read, distinct ads met (distinctAdsMet), ads delivered (adsDelivered), ads already delivered by an earlier search of the run (alreadyDelivered), ads left out by a check (filteredOut, filteredOutBy), slices read past DBA's reach (slicesRead), ads that stayed beyond reach (adsBeyondReach), whether the search was read to its end (complete) and why it stopped (stoppedBy). With Mark paid placements on, paidPlacement names the paid ad DBA showed above the search and whether it stood among the results.

Its priceSummary gives the count, lowest, quartiles (p25, median, p75), mean and highest asking price of the ads the search met that passed every check on the row, the count of ads without a price (withoutPrice), and the same per DBA area (byRegion) and per category (byCategory, marketplace) or per make (byMake, vehicles), each part with its count, median, lowest, highest and mean, largest first. Each marketplace category you name is its own search, so asking for several categories gives you prices by category and by area in one run. Turn it off with Price summary per search; it is free either way.

Add-on: Ad details (the ad page)

Include the ad page (Ad details) reads each ad's page and merges it into the row: the full description, every key fact and photo, the category path, the postal code, the edit time, a shop's profile, and on vehicles the equipment, registration date, inspection dates, owners, warranty, declared damages, the inspection report link and the dealer card. It is billed as one Ad details per row that carries its ad page and takes about a second per row. The ad page is always read (and billed) on an ad link, on a plate or VIN lookup, with the similar vehicles add-on and with a car weight range.

Add-on: Similar vehicles list

Add similar vehicles (add-on) adds similarVehicles: DBA's own list of vehicles like the ad (adId, url, title, the year and mileage text as DBA shows it in details, the price as DBA shows it in priceText and as a number of kroner in price, imageUrl). It reads the ad page too. similarVehiclesStatus says delivered or why the list is empty; only delivered is billed. Measured on a test run of 2026-10-24: 10 of 10 cars carried a list.

Add-on: Market valuation and the deal filter

Add a market valuation (add-on) reads, for each vehicle chosen for delivery, DBA's search of the same make and model one model year either side, its newest 50 ads, and keeps only the other ads of exactly that make and model with a price. From those asking prices marketValuation gives the count (comparables), medianPrice, p25Price, p75Price, minPrice, maxPrice, meanPrice, a confidence (high with 20 or more comparable ads, medium with 10 to 19, low below), DBA's own count of that search (adsInSearch), five comparable ads to check by hand (comparableSample), the basis in words, and how far this vehicle's price stands from the median (priceVsMedianPercent, priceVsMedianDkk). It works on searches and on ad links alike. These are asking prices, not sale prices. With fewer comparable ads than Minimum comparable ads (5 by default, up to 50), or a vehicle without make, model or model year, there is no valuation and nothing is billed (marketValuationStatus says why).

The deal filter delivers only the vehicles you want to see: Deal filter: at most this far from the median (%) (-10 for at least 10 percent under the market) or (DKK) (-20000 for at least 20,000 kr. under). Leave out red flagged vehicles drops every vehicle whose row carries a red flag. Vehicles left out, or without a valuation while a deal filter is set, are free. Measured on a test run of 2026-10-24: 5 VW Golf at least 15 percent under their median delivered, 4 others left out free.

Plate and VIN lookups

Plates to look up (vehicles) and VINs to look up (vehicles) find the DBA ad of each vehicle you name. Danish plates such as DM69584, DM 69584 or DM 69 584 are sent as DBA stores them and as its pages write them, 10 plates to one DBA search; a personalised plate (2 to 7 letters and digits holding a digit) is sent as typed, and VINs 20 to one search, in each vehicle type you pick (cars when Vehicle types is empty), at most 300 plates and 300 VINs a run. Every vehicle DBA answers has its ad page read, and a row is delivered only when the ad page shows the plate or VIN asked. Each delivered row names the lookups it answers in matchedLookups (list and position, never the plate or VIN). Each search's coverage row lists its lookups with found (true, false, or null when the search could not be read in full), and the run summary repeats every result. A plate or VIN no ad carries costs nothing. Measured on a test run of 2026-10-24: 4 plates and 1 VIN in one search, 3 plates and the VIN found, the made up plate not found, 6 seconds; 50 plates no ad carries cost the start fee only.

A private seller's plate field stays empty with Include personal data off, even on the row its plate found.

Dealer stock

Dealer ids (vehicles) reads every vehicle of one dealer with DBA's own dealer filter, one search per dealer and vehicle type. It takes DBA's dealer id (the companyId of a dealer row) or the dealer's page link on DBA (https://www.dba.dk/mobility/dealer/<id>/<name>, the companyPageUrl of a dealer row). With the ad page on, every row carries the dealer card. Measured on a test run of 2026-10-24: 20 cars of one dealer (the cap set, of 106 DBA counted) with their ad pages in 28 seconds.

How much does it cost to scrape DBA?

You pay per event, with Apify's store discounts by plan. A marketplace ad and a vehicle cost the same; the ad page and the vehicle add-ons are billed only when you turn them on and only on a row that carries them.

Actor start (once per run at the default 256 MB)$0.0075$0.0075$0.0075$0.0075

Platinum and Diamond plans pay the Gold price. The Actor start is a flat fee per run, with no plan discount.

The Store pricing card shows these same prices per 1,000 events: "$1.89 / 1,000" on the Listing row means one marketplace ad costs $0.00189 at Gold, and "$1.40 / 1,000" on the Market valuation row means one valuation costs $0.0014 on the Free plan.

  • Listing is charged once per marketplace ad delivered as a row, Vehicle once per vehicle ad, from a search, a dealer, a lookup or a link. An ad met twice in one run (two keywords, two slices) is delivered and billed once.
  • Results page is charged once per DBA search page the run reads that brings at least one ad not met before in the run and from which an ad is delivered (up to 300 marketplace ads or 50 vehicles a page, so about $0.002 per 1,000 marketplace ads and $0.01 per 1,000 vehicles at Gold). It pays for the searches that deliver only a few rows (a plate list, many dealers, many small searches), so the row price stays low. A page of repeats, a page whose ads are all left out by a filter, a page DBA did not apply, the first page of a split, an empty search, ad links and every page of a run's restarted attempt are free.
  • Ad details, Similar vehicles list and Market valuation are charged only with their setting on (Ad details also on ad links, lookups, similar vehicles and a car weight range), and only on a row that carries them.
  • Never billed: repeats in the run, ads left out by a filter (the keyword tail below included), a plate or VIN no ad carries, a removed or unknown ad link, a vehicle with too few comparable ads, a refused setting, a search that finds nothing, coverage rows, status rows and the summary.
  • Every run is charged the Actor start fee ($0.0075), also when it finds nothing (an empty input, a filter no ad passes, a plate no ad carries, a refused setting): such a run costs $0.0075.

Worked examples, computed from the prices above with the start fee included. The rows marked "measured" billed exactly these events on a test run of 2026-10-24; a real run can bill one or two more Results pages where a page brings only a few new ads.

Input

The Actor has 105 settings; every one is in the Input tab with its own help text. The main ones:

SettingWhat it does
verticalsmarketplace (general goods) and vehicles, each its own search. Left empty: the marketplace, or vehicles when only vehicle settings are given.
keywordsSearch words, each its own search (sofa, iphone 15, vw golf). DBA matches them in the ad texts.
onlyKeywordMatchesOn by default: a marketplace keyword search delivers only ads whose title (or description, with the ad page) carries every word of the search; the rest of DBA's results are left out free (below).
categoriesMarketplace categories, sub categories or product categories by DBA's Danish name (Møbler og indretning, Sofaer og lænestole, Mobiltelefoner) or value, each its own search.
vehicleTypesThe vehicle searches, each its own: car (Cars (Biler), the default), mc (Motorcycles (MC)), scooter (Mopeds and scooters), atv (ATVs), boat (Boats (Både)), caravan (Caravans (Campingvogne)), mobileHome (Motorhomes (Autocampere)), truck (Trucks (Lastbiler)), bus (Buses (Busser)), construction (Construction machinery), tractor (Tractors (Traktorer)), agriTools (Farm and garden machinery), threshers (Combine harvesters), or b2bAll (All business vehicles: trucks, buses, construction, farm).
dealerIdsDealer ids or dealer page links, each a search of every vehicle of that dealer (per vehicle type).
plates, vinsPlate and VIN lookups (above). Not together with keywords or dealer ids.
searchUrlsDBA search links (https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/search?... or https://www.dba.dk/mobility/search/<type>?...), read with all their filters.
adUrlsAd links (/recommerce/forsale/item/<id>, /mobility/item/<id>, https://www.dba.dk/<id>) or ad ids, up to 5,000, each read with its ad page. A removed or unknown ad is a free status row.
locationsDBA's 12 areas (København og omegn, Fyn, Østjylland), its towns (Odense, Aarhus, Aalborg) or city districts (Odense C, Aarhus N) by DBA's name or value, or a postal code (8600 is Silkeborg, 5000 Odense C, 1620 København V; DBA files every town and district under its postal code). Several places are one search. A postal code DBA lists no place for (a post box code) is a free row, and the other places run.
radiusAround, radiusKmDBA's own map radius (1 to 500 km) around a town, a city district or a postal code ("radiusAround": "8600", "radiusKm": 20), at the centre point DBA itself gives that place on its ads (read from DBA's rows on 2026-10-24 for 650 of its 769 places: every Danish place with ads; four small islands with no ads and 115 places of the Faroe Islands and Greenland have none, and naming one is a free row that asks for a point instead).
latitude, longitude, radiusKmThe same radius around a point in Denmark you give.
minPrice, maxPrice, sellerType, postedTodayPrice in kroner, private sellers or companies and dealers only (DBA's "Privat" and "Forhandler"), DBA's "Nyt i dag".
conditions, tradeTypes, brands, shippingOnlyMarketplace: DBA's condition labels, ad type ("Til salg", "Gives væk", "Ønsker at købe"), brand (HAY, IKEA, Stokke), Fiks færdig only.
makes, models, minYear, maxYear, minMileage, maxMileage, minPowerHp, maxPowerHp, fuelTypes, transmissions, bodyTypes, wheelDrives, colours, salesFormsDBA's vehicle filters by DBA's Danish names (VW, Golf, El, Automatisk, Stationcar). Mileage in km, as DBA counts it.
equipment, wheelSets, warrantyTypes, conditionDocuments, registrationClasses, minTrailerWeightKg, maxTrailerWeightKgCars: equipment (Anhængertræk, Apple CarPlay, Bakkamera ...), wheel sets, DBA's warranty filter (Garanti), service history (Service), registration class (Personbil, Varebil ex. moms, Varebil inkl. moms), towing weight.
minEngineCc, maxEngineCc, vehicleConditionsMC, mopeds and ATVs: engine size in cc; new or used (MC, caravans, motorhomes).
minLengthFeet, maxLengthFeet, minWidthCm, maxWidthCm, minBoatEngineHp, maxBoatEngineHp, minTopSpeedKnots, maxTopSpeedKnots, boatMaterials, boatEngineTypes, boatEngineIncluded, berths, seatGroups, vehicleLocationsBoats: length, width, engine power, top speed, material, engine type, engine included, berths, seats, where the boat stands (Danmark or Udlandet).
minLengthCm, maxLengthCm, minWeightKg, maxWeightKgCaravans and motorhomes: length; caravans, motorhomes and trucks: weight, sent to DBA. Cars: the weight is read from each car's ad page (DBA's car search has no weight filter), so every car of the search has its ad page read and billed as Ad details when delivered; a car whose page shows no weight is left out, free. The pages of cars left out are unpaid work: when the newest cars of the search fail the range, the run stops on its allowance (about 20 car pages) with a free status row, so narrow the search (a make, a body type) for a range few cars meet (measured 2026-10-25: 1,500 kg and up delivered 5 of 5 on one run and stopped after 21 lighter cars on another).
attributeFiltersAny other filter of the search's own DBA filter list, by name or Danish label: {"truck_segment": ["Kassevogn"], "construction_segment": ["Minigraver"]}.
postedAfter, postedWithinHours, postedBefore, includeKeywords, requireAllKeywords, excludeKeywords, titleOnly, excludeAdIdsFilters checked on every row; an ad left out is free. Posted before reads the newer ads in front and leaves them out free, so a day far back can stop the run on its allowance for unpaid reads.
maxItems, maxItemsPerSearch, maxPagesPerSearch, maxRowsPerSearch, startPagePaid rows per run (default 100), per search, pages per search, rows read per search; Start page reads every search from that page of DBA's own results (53 marketplace ads or 50 vehicles a page) to go on where an earlier run stopped (such a search is not split and its coverage row says it is not complete; not with plates or VINs).
includeDetails, includeSimilarVehicles, includeMarketValuation, minComparables, maxPriceVsMarketPercent, maxPriceVsMarketDkk, excludeRedFlaggedThe add-ons and the deal filter (above).
includePersonalData, markPaidPlacementsThe personal data switch (below); the paid ad flag (one free extra read per search).
priceSummary, includeRawData, descriptionFormat, descriptionMaxLength, outputFields, compactOutput, excludeEmptyFields, extractContacts, phoneExtractionModeThe price summary per search (on by default); DBA's search row; description asServed, text or markdown and a length cut; your own field list or the most used fields only; empty fields left out; e-mails, phones, websites and social profiles written in the texts (companies' ads always, private ads with personal data on).
failIfIncomplete, completenessTolerancePercent, completenessToleranceAbsolute, maxFailedRequestsPercent, proxyConfiguration, requestsPerSecond, maxConcurrency, maxRequestRetriesFail the run when a search is incomplete or too many reads failed; your own bar for a complete search; your own proxy links (Apify's datacenter proxy by default, which every DBA door answers); the pace (0.2 to 2 requests a second, default 1), requests in flight (1 to 4), retries (0 to 5).

A run reads at most 300 searches. A monitor or alert setting refuses the run with a free row that says this Actor keeps no monitor, and an empty input is refused with a free row (only the run's start fee is charged).

Example inputs

Sofas and armchairs in København og omegn and Nordsjælland, with their ad pages:

{ "verticals": ["marketplace"], "categories": ["Sofaer og lænestole"], "locations": ["København og omegn", "Nordsjælland"], "includeDetails": true, "maxItems": 200 }

Used VW Golf in Østjylland under 100,000 kr., with a market valuation, only those at least 10 percent under the median:

{ "verticals": ["vehicles"], "makes": ["VW"], "models": ["Golf"], "maxPrice": 100000, "locations": ["Østjylland"], "includeMarketValuation": true, "maxPriceVsMarketPercent": -10, "maxItems": 100 }

Which of these cars are for sale on DBA, and at what price:

{ "plates": ["DA47162", "DX 24 542"], "vins": ["VSSZZZ1PZ7R114474"] }

Every vehicle of one dealer, with the dealer card:

{ "dealerIds": ["https://www.dba.dk/mobility/dealer/5781083/bilhuset-silkeborg"], "includeDetails": true, "maxItems": 500 }

DBA's keyword search and its tail

DBA's marketplace search ranks a keyword's results by relevance and ends them with ads that do not carry the word (related goods, and a few unrelated ads even for a made up word). With Only ads that carry the search words on (the default), a marketplace row of a keyword search is delivered only when its title (or its description, with the ad page read) holds every word of the search; the others are left out, free, and counted on the coverage row (filteredOutBy.onlyKeywordMatches). Words match as parts of words ("sofa" matches "hjørnesofa"), and "a OR b" means either. Measured on a test run of 2026-10-24: "kajak" met all 1,449 ads DBA counted and delivered 813, 636 left out free, in 7 seconds. Turn it off to get every ad DBA's search returns.

Every filter is checked

Every named filter is resolved against the search's own DBA filter list. A value the list does not offer (a make, a place, a category) is a free row that lists the values it does offer, and the search delivers nothing: an unknown value never widens a search. A filter a vehicle type does not have (engine size on cars) refuses that search with a free row naming the filters it has. DBA's vehicle search drops a value it does not know without a word and answers its whole stock; every page DBA answers must echo back the filters sent, so a page where DBA dropped one becomes a free row and nothing from it is delivered or billed.

Past DBA's 15,000 and 2,500 ad reach

DBA serves at most 50 pages of one search: 15,000 marketplace ads at 300 a page, and 2,500 vehicles at 50 a page. Past page 50 the marketplace answers an error and the vehicle search answers page 1 again; the walk stops at the lower of page 50 and DBA's own last page, and a page that is not the page asked for is never delivered or billed. The marketplace counted 3,394,428 ads and cars 21,887 on 2026-10-24. When DBA counts more ads than one search can reach and you want more, the search is split into slices by DBA's own counts: marketplace searches by category, sub category and product category, then by area; vehicle searches by make and model, make, boat class and area; then by price bands. Each slice is read in DBA's own order, an ad met in an earlier slice is skipped free, and the coverage row says how many slices were read and how many ads stayed beyond reach (adsBeyondReach). A search is complete when its slices met about every ad DBA counted (at least 98 percent less 2 ads on a split search, 99 percent less 2 on one search, or your own bar set with completenessTolerancePercent and completenessToleranceAbsolute). DBA counts a few ads on a category and in none of its parts (adsNoSliceHolds on the coverage row): no slice can reach them, and the coverage row then says not complete and how many. Measured on 2026-10-25: every boat, 3,524 of 3,524 in 2 slices, complete; a sub category of 16,548 ads ("Erhvervskøkken og restaurant"), 16,501 delivered in 2 slices, 47 held only on the sub category itself.

Restarts

If Apify restarts a run on another server, the run reads its own dataset back: the rows already delivered are neither delivered nor charged again, and the pages of the restarted attempt are free. Nothing is billed twice.

Personal data

A private seller is an ad DBA marks as private ("Privat"). With Include personal data off (the default), these fields are null on a private seller's row: the plate and VIN (plate, vin, and their entries in the key facts attributes), the inspection report link that carries the plate (inspectionReportUrl), the seller's DBA user id (sellerId), street (streetAddress), the seller's own links and ad references, the contacts found in the texts (Extract contacts from texts) and the raw search row; a private seller's map point is rounded to 2 decimals (about 1 km) when DBA gives it to the address. On every ad, a contact person's name, phone and e-mail (contacts) are null with the switch off. Turning the switch on adds all of these. A company's or dealer's name, id, CVR number, address, phone, website and dealer card are business data and always delivered. Titles, descriptions, equipment texts and the seller's own answers are delivered exactly as DBA serves them, so an ad's own text can name a person or give a phone number. DBA shows no private seller's name to visitors who are not logged in, so this Actor never has it. Plate and VIN lookups work with the switch on or off. You are responsible for a lawful use of personal data, GDPR included.

FAQ

Does DBA have a public API?

This Actor works as one: it reads DBA's public search and ad pages, logged out, and gives you the rows through the Apify API as JSON, CSV or Excel, with a free coverage row per search that gives DBA's own count of ads (adsOnDba).

How do I scrape dba.dk listings and prices?

Open the Input tab, pick the marketplace or vehicles, add keywords, categories or places (or paste DBA search links), set Maximum rows and click Start: each ad is one row with its price in kroner, place, DBA area and seller, and each search ends with a free price summary by area and by category or make. The prefilled input (20 sofas in København og omegn) costs $0.0458 at Gold.

This Actor reads only the public search and ad pages any visitor sees without logging in, never sends the sort parameter or opens the profile, contact and map pages DBA's robots.txt disallows, and withholds a private seller's personal data unless you turn Include personal data on. DBA's terms and its page footer forbid systematic collection of its content without DBA's written permission, so check DBA's terms, Danish law and the GDPR for your own use; you are responsible for a lawful use.

How do I get notified when a new ad appears on DBA?

This Actor sends no notifications and keeps no memory between runs. Schedule the run in Apify with Posted within (hours) set to 24, or New today on: each run delivers the ads DBA published in that window, and you keep the ad ids you have already seen in your own sheet or flow.

What do things sell for on DBA?

DBA shows asking prices, not sale prices. Each search's free coverage row gives the count, lowest, quartiles, median, mean and highest asking price of the ads it met, and the same per DBA area and per category (marketplace) or make (vehicles); for vehicles, Add a market valuation (add-on) sets each vehicle's price against the median of the same make and model one model year either side.

Why does this Actor run with limited permissions?

It needs nothing outside its own run: it reads DBA and writes only to its own run's dataset and key-value store, and it opens no named storage. Limited permissions keep the rest of your Apify account out of its reach.

What this Actor does NOT do

  • No other sites. This listing reads DBA only; Blocket and FINN.no have their own listings (below), and one run never mixes sites, so every row is a DBA row.
  • No sort order. DBA's robots.txt asks robots not to send its sort parameter, so every search is read in DBA's own default order (newest first on vehicles and, by DBA's default, on marketplace searches without words; relevance with words); a pasted link's sort is dropped with a free note.
  • No monitor and no alerts. It keeps no memory between runs: no "new only" rows, no price change, sold or removal tracking across runs, no Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp or webhook alerts; a run that asks for one is refused with a free row (only the run's start fee is charged, as on every run) and reads nothing. Schedule the run in Apify (Posted within (hours) set to 24) and compare the rows in your own sheet or flow by adId. Within one run, a removed ad link is a free status row.
  • No private seller name, no messages. DBA's ad pages name no private seller to visitors who are not logged in; this Actor never logs in and never contacts a seller. A shop's name and phone and a dealer's name, phone and e-mail are on the ad page and delivered.
  • No login only data. Saved searches, favourites, messages, a seller's profile pages (/profile, disallowed by DBA's robots.txt) and anything behind a DBA account are not read.
  • No homes and no jobs. DBA has no housing or job search today; this listing reads its marketplace and its vehicles.
  • No sale prices. Prices, price summaries and market valuations are asking prices of ads on DBA.
  • No other currencies. DBA prices in DKK only; rows carry DKK and currency.
  • No view counts. DBA's pages carry no view count.
  • No paid ad rows outside the results. The paid ad DBA shows above a search is never delivered as a row of its own; with Mark paid placements on, a delivered row that is that paid ad says paidPlacement: true.
  • No photo downloads. Photo links only.
  • No guessed spellings and no empty input sample. A value is used as you send it (after trimming and case) or refused with a free row listing DBA's own values; an input with nothing to search is refused with a free row, and the Console prefill is the example.
  • No unpaid crawling. A run stops with a status row when its unpaid work (pages whose ads were all filtered out or already delivered, removed ads, the reads that check a search's filters) passes a small allowance (USD 0.0004 plus a share of every billed event): narrow the search or loosen the filters checked on each row. Each add-on likewise may spend USD 0.003 (USD 0.0005 with a deal or red flag filter) on reads that bill nothing, plus a share of its delivered events.

API and integrations

Run it from the Apify API, the Apify client for JavaScript or Python, Make, Zapier, n8n or any HTTP client. Example with the API (put your own token in place of <YOUR_TOKEN>):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation_craft~dba-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"verticals": ["marketplace"], "keywords": ["sofa"], "locations": ["København og omegn"], "maxItems": 20}'
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('automation_craft/dba-scraper').call({ verticals: ['vehicles'], makes: ['VW'], includeMarketValuation: true, maxItems: 50 });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("automation_craft/dba-scraper").call(run_input={"verticals": ["marketplace"], "categories": ["Mobiltelefoner"], "maxItems": 100})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

Every row carries type; keep type == "listing" for the ads, and read the coverage rows (type == "search") for the price summaries and to see whether each search was read in full. The run report (REPORT in the run's key-value store) sums up the run.

Use it from an AI agent (MCP)

AI agents can run this Actor as a tool through Apify's MCP server: connect your MCP client to https://mcp.apify.com and add automation_craft/dba-scraper to its tools. The agent sends the input as JSON (for example

{"verticals": ["vehicles"], "makes": ["VW"], "locations": ["Fyn"], "maxItems": 20}
) and reads the run's dataset back: the ad rows (type: "listing"), the coverage row of each search with its price summary (type: "search"), status rows and the summary. For agents, set compactOutput (the most used fields only, region and mileageKm included) or outputFields, and excludeEmptyFields, keep maxItems small, and read the coverage row to see whether a search was read to its end and how many ads DBA counts.
