Marktplaats Scraper: Ads, Cars, Sellers & Alerts

Marktplaats Scraper: Ads, Cars, Sellers & Alerts

Marktplaats scraper for marktplaats.nl, the Dutch classifieds site: search ads by keyword, by any of its 36 top and 1,982 sub categories, by a Marktplaats search link with its filters, by seller or by ad link, and get one row per ad with its title, price and price type, place, distance from your postcode, the day it shows, condition, delivery, category, photos, the site's attributes and its promotion flags (Topadvertentie, Dagtopper, Admarkt). Turn on full ad details for the whole description, views, favourites, the exact time placed, bids, shipping, the seller's type and years on Marktplaats, and car data (brand, model, construction year, mileage, fuel, licence plate, APK). No login, no cookies, no captcha. A monitor delivers only the ads it never delivered before and can send them to Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp or your own webhook.

Who uses it: resellers and bargain hunters watching new ads, car traders following private car ads, analysts comparing second hand prices by category and region, and teams feeding Marktplaats ads into their own sheets, apps or AI agents.

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab and type what you look for in Keywords, for example gazelle fiets, iphone 15 or lego technic.
2. Or pick Categories (fietsen-en-brommers, auto-s/volkswagen, 445, or a name such as Fietsen en Brommers), paste Marktplaats links into Search links (https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/auto-s/f/benzine/473/), seller pages into Sellers or ad links into Ad links.
3. Add filters if you like: placed within today, yesterday or the last week, condition, delivery, seller type, price, postcode and radius, construction year and mileage for cars, words that must or must not appear, promoted ads left out.
4. Set Maximum ads and click Start. Download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the Apify API.

To receive new ads only, give the run a Monitor name and schedule it (daily or more often): each later run delivers only the ads this monitor never delivered before.

What you get

One row per ad (type: "listing"), one coverage row per search (type: "search"), free status rows for anything that could not be delivered (type: "status") and a run summary (type: "summary"). The dataset has three views: Ads, Ads with details, Searches and status.

Fill rates below are measured on platform runs of 2026-10-20 (build 0.1.2). Search rows: 200 ads for the keyword fiets (run BT6QyooQ0qR5xLPJZ), and for the distance 15 ads for gazelle from postcode 1012AB (run qzLs3X2RLWCGdu9IG). Rows with details: 13 ads, 10 private petrol cars from a car search (run iOoWHAbDZcCmVGyeE) and 3 bicycles from ad links (run fpwlYtMsbyB9F6a83).

The coverage row of each search says how many ads Marktplaats counts for it (adsOnMarktplaats), how many it served (reachRows), how many ads were met and delivered, how many were left out and by which filter (filteredOutBy), whether the search was read to its end (complete) and why it stopped (stoppedBy). From a real run (ladies' bicycles placed today, at most 25 euros):

How much does it cost to scrape Marktplaats?

You pay per event, with Apify's store discounts by plan:

Event	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Listing (one ad row)	$1.19 per 1,000	$1.09 per 1,000	$0.99 per 1,000	$0.85 per 1,000
Listing details (an ad page read for a search row)	$1.40 per 1,000	$1.30 per 1,000	$1.20 per 1,000	$1.00 per 1,000
Results page (monitor runs only, one read of up to 100 ads)	$1.10 per 1,000	$1.00 per 1,000	$0.90 per 1,000	$0.80 per 1,000
Actor start (once per run)	$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 prices per 1,000 events: "$0.85 / 1,000" on the Listing row means one ad row costs $0.00085 on the Gold plan, less than a tenth of a cent.

• Listing is charged once per ad delivered as a row, from a search, a seller page or an ad link. An ad link row includes its ad page and pays only Listing.
• Listing details is charged per delivered search row whose ad page was read and merged: with Full ad details on, or with a Seller type the search cannot filter for itself (the seller is then judged on each ad page).
• Results page is charged only in a monitor run (Monitor name set): one per search page read, up to 100 ads, whatever it held, so a monitor pays for checking even on a day with nothing new. A read that failed or that Marktplaats did not apply is free. Runs without a monitor never pay it.
• Never billed: repeats in the run, ads left out by a filter or by the search's scope, ads a monitor already delivered, removed or unknown ads, invalid input, coverage rows, status rows, the summary and every notification.
• Example on the Bronze plan: 1,000 search rows cost $0.0075 (start) + 1,000 listings ($1.09) = $1.0975. On the Free plan the same run costs $1.1975, on the Gold plan $0.8575.
• Example with details on the Gold plan: 100 ads cost $0.0075 + 100 listings ($0.085) + 100 listing details ($0.10) = $0.1925.
• Example of 50 ad links on the Gold plan: $0.0075 + 50 listings ($0.0425) = $0.05.
• Example of a daily monitor run on the Gold plan whose search holds 250 ads since yesterday and 20 new ones: start ($0.0075) + 3 results pages ($0.0024) + 20 listings ($0.017) = $0.0269. A day with nothing new: $0.0099.
• A run without a monitor that delivers nothing (a keyword with no ads, a filter no ad passes) pays only the start: $0.0075.

Input

Setting	What it does
keywords	Up to 200 keywords, each its own search, as you would type them on Marktplaats. Marktplaats's search also finds close spellings and searches descriptions; titleOnly keeps only titles holding every word.
categories	Up to 200 categories by address words (fietsen-en-brommers, kleding-heren/schoenen), name or id: 36 top and 1,982 sub categories. With keywords, every keyword is searched in every category. A name several categories share is a free row naming the candidates.
searchUrls	Up to 200 Marktplaats search, category or seller links with their filters, date window and their "#" part (price, construction year and mileage ranges, postcode and distance, sort). A part this Actor cannot apply is a free row, never silently dropped.
sellerUrls	Up to 200 seller pages or seller ids: every ad of each seller.
adUrls	Up to 2,000 ad links or ids with their letter (m2455721910, a1529353272), each delivered with its ad page. A removed or unknown ad is a free row.
postedWithin	Marktplaats's own date window: today, since yesterday or the last week.
condition, delivery, sellerType, buyItNowOnly, urgentOnly, attributeFilters	Filters sent to Marktplaats: condition, pickup or shipping, private or business, Direct Kopen, "Moet nu weg", and any other filter the site shows for the search by its key or Dutch label ({"fuel": ["Benzine"], "transmission": ["Automaat"]} for cars). A filter or value the search does not have is a free row listing those it has.
minPrice, maxPrice, priceTypes	Price range in euros and price types, checked on every row. Ads without a price figure are left out when a price range is set.
postcode, radiusKm	A Dutch postcode: every row gets its distance from it; with a radius of 1 to 300 km, the rows outside are left out free.
minYear, maxYear, minMileageKm, maxMileageKm	Construction year and mileage ranges for cars and other vehicles, checked on every row.
postedAfter, postedBefore	A day (YYYY-MM-DD) compared with the day each ad shows.
includeKeywords, excludeKeywords, titleOnly	Whole words the title or text must hold (one of them) or must not hold (the title and snippets of a search row; with full ad details, the ad page's title, description and attributes); search words in the title only.
promotedAds	All ads, no top ads (leaves out the top block and Admarkt ads), or organic only (also leaves out Dagtoppers and other boosted ads).
excludeAdIds	Ad ids or links you already have, skipped free.
sort	As Marktplaats shows it (the default), newest, oldest, price low to high, price high to low, or nearest to your postcode.
maxItems, maxItemsPerSearch, maxPagesPerSearch	Caps per run (default 100), per search, and reads of 100 ads per search.
readPasses, splitLargeSearches	Re-read passes for keyword searches (default 2), and reading past the 5,000 ads Marktplaats serves of one search (on by default).
includeDetails, includePersonalData, includeRawData	Full ad details (billed as Listing details), the personal data switch, and Marktplaats's own objects.
monitorName, resetMonitor	The monitor (below).
telegramBotToken, telegramChatId, slackWebhookUrl, discordWebhookUrl, whatsappAccessToken, whatsappPhoneNumberId, whatsappTo, webhookUrl, webhookSecret, webhookHeaders, notificationLimit	Free notifications of the ads a run delivered (below).
failIfIncomplete, maxFailedRequestsPercent, requestsPerSecond, proxyConfiguration	Fail the run when a search is incomplete or too many reads failed; the pace (at most 0.14 requests a second, the default); Apify's datacenter proxy (the default, included in the price) or your own proxy links.

A run reads at most 200 searches (keywords times categories, plus search links and sellers). Every filter that can be checked on a row is checked again before the row is billed; a row that does not match is left out free and counted on the coverage row.

Every search, up to 5,000 ads and past it

Marktplaats serves at most 5,000 ads of one search, and often fewer for a filtered search or a date window. This Actor reads 100 ads at a time. A keyword search is ordered a little differently on each read, so a search that falls short of the count Marktplaats gives is read again, up to Read passes times (only while a pass still finds new ads). With Read past 5,000 ads on (the default, not for monitors), a larger search is split into its top categories, then sub categories, then the values of one of the site's own filters, and every ad is delivered once. Ads that carry no value of that filter stay beyond reach; the coverage row counts them (adsBeyondReach) and says whether the search is complete.

Paid placements (the top block and Admarkt ads of web shops and traders) are mixed into Marktplaats's results whatever they match. A placement that cannot show by its own data that it fits your search (category, filters, date window, every search word) is left out free and counted (filteredOutBy.sponsoredUnproven: 56 of the 297 rows seen for fiets). An ad that is both a top ad and a listing row comes once.

Full ad details

With Full ad details on, each delivered search row's ad page is read and merged into the row: the whole description, every attribute, all photos, views, favourites, the exact time placed, bids, shipping options, the seller's type, years on Marktplaats and city, and for cars the licence plate, the APK date, owners and the site's car data. It is billed as Listing details, per ad whose page was read and merged. Each ad page read adds one view to the ad's view counter (once per run per ad). Ad links are always delivered with their ad page, at the Listing price only.

Sort

Marktplaats offers no sort on the pages this Actor reads, so the Actor sorts each search itself: it reads the search (or its date window) to the end, then delivers the rows in your order (newest, oldest, price, nearest). "Newest" without a date window reads today, then since yesterday, then the week, delivers each window before it reads the next, and stops widening once the ads delivered fill your maximum. A sorted search holds at most 6,000 ads and takes as long as reading it whole. A price sort orders by the price the search lists (listedPrice); with Full ad details the row's price is the one on the ad's page, which is newer and in rare cases differs.

Monitor: only new ads, with alerts

Give the run a Monitor name and schedule it. Each run reads the date window of every search (since yesterday unless you set Placed within), pays a Results page per read, and delivers only the ads this monitor never delivered before; an ad is delivered and billed once per monitor, ever, and the ads it knows are free. Start the monitor again forgets what it delivered. One monitor name belongs to one set of settings: a run with other settings under the same name delivers nothing and says why. A monitor remembers up to 150,000 ads.

Notifications are free and list the ads the run delivered, in a monitor run or any other: a Telegram chat through your own bot, a Slack or Discord channel webhook and WhatsApp through your own WhatsApp Cloud API number each get a message of up to Ads per message ads (default 10, at most 30), and a webhook receives up to 1,000 ads per run in JSON batches of 100, signed with HMAC SHA-256 when you give a secret. A failed notification never fails the run.

Personal data

With Include personal data off (the default), a private seller's id, name, profile link and phone number, the ad's map point, a private car's licence plate (also in carAttributes), and bidders' ids and names are null, also inside raw. A seller whose kind the run cannot tell (a search row without its ad page) is treated as private. A business seller's data (traders, Admarkt ads) is business data and always delivered. Titles, snippets and descriptions are delivered exactly as Marktplaats serves them, so an ad's own text can name a person or give a phone number. You are responsible for a lawful use of personal data, GDPR included.

How long a run takes

Marktplaats refuses one address after about 130 to 150 requests in ten minutes. This Actor sends one request at a time, at most one every 7.1 seconds (Requests per second 0.14, the default and the most allowed; lower is slower), and reads 100 ads per search page:

• 1,000 search rows take about 10 reads, about 1.5 minutes. Measured: 200 rows for fiets in 26 seconds (3 reads), the 20 row prefill in about 6 seconds.
• 100 ads with details take about 12 minutes, one ad page each. Measured: 10 private cars with details in 84 seconds (12 requests).
• An ad link can redirect up to twice before its page: 5 ad links (3 ads, 2 unknown) took 75 seconds.
• A sorted search reads the whole search before it delivers: about 6 minutes for 5,000 ads.
• In one hour (the default run timeout) the Actor makes about 500 reads; raise the timeout in the run options for larger runs.

When Marktplaats refuses a request, the Actor pauses 90 seconds and asks once more on the same address; a second refusal in a row stops the run's requests with a free status row. It never switches to fresh addresses to get past a refusal. What was delivered stays delivered, and every search or ad link not reached gets a free row.

What this Actor does NOT do

• No Belgian sites. Only marktplaats.nl; 2dehands.be and 2ememain.be are not read.
• No price bands. Marktplaats applies price ranges only on a door this Actor does not use, so a search past 5,000 ads is split by category and site filter, not by price. Price ranges are checked on each row instead.
• No parallel requests and no concurrency setting. One request at a time, at most one every 7.1 seconds (see How long a run takes); more requests at once on one address only reach Marktplaats's refusal sooner.
• No distance for Admarkt ads. Marktplaats gives Admarkt ads (web shop ads, ids starting with a) a distance of 0 km whatever their place, so the Actor treats it as no distance: such ads have distanceKm null, a radius search leaves them out free, and the nearest first sort puts them last.
• No exact time placed without details. Search rows carry the day the ad shows (shownDate); a Dagtopper shows the day of its boost. postedAt comes with details.
• No hidden phone numbers. A seller's phone comes only when the ad page shows it; never a number behind a click or a login.
• No messages, bids or login. Nothing is posted or bid, and no account data (saved searches, favourites, messages) is read.
• No photo downloads. Photo links only.
• No price change or removal rows. A monitor delivers new ads; an ad it already delivered is never delivered again.
• No unpaid crawling. A run stops with a status row when its unpaid work (pages whose ads were all filtered out, answers asked again) passes a small budget (USD 0.001 plus a little per billed event): narrow the search or run it again.

FAQ

How can I scrape Marktplaats listings?

Type a keyword, pick a category or paste a Marktplaats search link, set Maximum ads and start the run: no code, no login and no proxy setup. Each ad comes as one row with its price, place, condition, photos and promotion flags, as JSON, CSV or Excel or through the Apify API.

Is there a Marktplaats API for listings?

Marktplaats documents no public API for its listings. This Actor works as one: call it through the Apify API with keywords, categories, search links, sellers or ad links and read the rows back as JSON, in one call with run-sync-get-dataset-items.

How do I get alerts for new Marktplaats ads?

Give the run a Monitor name and schedule it: each run delivers only the ads this monitor never delivered before and can send them to Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp or your own webhook at no extra charge. A monitor run pays a Results page per search page it checks, so a day with nothing new costs the start fee plus those reads.

How many ads can I get from one Marktplaats search?

Marktplaats serves at most 5,000 ads of one search. With Read past 5,000 ads on (the default), a larger search is split into categories and one of the site's filters, every ad delivered once, up to your Maximum ads; the coverage row says how many ads Marktplaats counts, how many were delivered, and whether the search is complete.

Can I export Marktplaats ads to Excel?

Yes. Download the run's dataset as Excel, CSV, JSON or XML from the Output tab or the API; the Ads view keeps the most useful columns, and Ads with details adds the description, views, seller and car data.

Why does this Actor run with limited permissions?

It needs nothing more: it writes only to its own run's dataset and key-value store, and a monitor keeps its memory in a named key-value store it creates itself. Limited permissions keep your other Apify data out of its reach.
