Bilbasen — Denmark's Car Marketplace

What does Bilbasen do?

Bilbasen extracts structured listing data from bilbasen.dk — including contact details, full descriptions, prices, and location data. It supports controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time.

Key features

• 🔔 Notifications — telegram / Slack / Discord / WhatsApp / webhook alerts on each run. Combine with incremental to ping only when prices or inventory actually move.
• 🔗 Paste-mode — paste any bilbasen.dk URL — single-listing pages, search-results, or category SEO URLs. Build the filter you want in the browser, copy, paste; the actor parses every query param.
• 💵 Structured pricing — listing price parsed into a numeric price field plus filter inputs (priceFrom / priceTo) so you can target a budget band. Use priceType (where supported) to exclude leasing or wholesale listings.
• ♻️ Incremental mode — daily runs emit only listings that are new or whose price/condition changed since last run. Perfect for inventory-diff dashboards and competitive pricing alerts. Saves 80–95% on recurring monitoring.
• 📋 Detail enrichment — two-stage scraping — search-card data first, then a per-listing detail page fetch with full description, gallery images, equipment list, and seller contact info. Toggle with includeDetailPages.
• 🧠 Danish NLP enrichment — enrichFromDescription: true parses free-text Danish descriptions for service history, damage flags + severity, warranty status + expiry, registration number, and coarse region. Adds serviceStatus, damageFlag, damageSeverity, warrantyStatus, warrantyExpiry, registrationNumber, and coarseRegion fields.
• 🖼️ Image-output control — imagesMode: "first3" | "all" controls how many image URLs are embedded per listing. Always reports imagesCount regardless of mode — pick first3 for fast previews, all for complete galleries.
• 📦 Compact mode — light payload with core fields only — comparable rows across listings without HTML or metadata overhead. Perfect for pricing dashboards.
• ✂️ Description truncation — cap description length with descriptionMaxLength to control LLM prompt cost and dataset size — set 0 for full descriptions, or any char-limit to trim.
• 🔌 MCP connectors — export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.

What data can you extract from bilbasen.dk?

Each result includes Core listing fields (url, portalUrl, title, price, priceAmount, priceText, priceType, and priceBeforeReduction, and more), extended fields (description, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, priceDescription, and dealerDescription), and contact information (sellerPhone, contactEmail, and sellerHasEmail). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• startUrls — Bilbasen URLs to scrape. Supports both search pages (/brugt/bil/audi/a4) and single listings (/brugt/bil/vw/golf/variant/123456). Leave empty to use the filter params below.

• mileageFrom — Minimum odometer reading in km.
• mileageTo — Maximum odometer reading in km.
• fuelType — Fuel/drivetrain filter. Leave empty to include all.
• gearType — Transmission filter.
• ...and 34 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Fetch vehicles from the provided start URL.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.bilbasen.dk/brugt/bil"
    }
  ],
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit vehicles that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.bilbasen.dk/brugt/bil"
    }
  ],
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "bilbasen-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

Incremental fields

When incrementalMode: true, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED (deprecated skeleton mode, see below), or EXPIRED.

Sold-detection via EXPIRED rows (on by default)

With emitExpired: true (the default), a tracked listing that has been missing from 2 consecutive fully-covered runs is exported once as a minimal changeType: "EXPIRED" row (url, portalUrl, externalId, contentHash, scrapedAt; other fields null) — your signal that the car is sold or delisted. EXPIRED rows are billed as standard results.

Expiry only fires when the run's scope provably covers the full search: clean make/model searches or browse-all. Filtered searches (year, price, mileage, etc.), multi-search runs, and partial crawls never expire listings — a listing absent because your filter excluded it will not be falsely reported as sold.

Unchanged skeletons (deprecated)

pushUnchangedSkeletons: true additionally pushes a minimal changeType: "UNCHANGED" skeleton row for every listing that hasn't changed since the previous run. This mode is deprecated — prefer EXPIRED-based sold-detection above, which achieves the same goal without re-exporting the full inventory every run. Note that every exported dataset row is billed as a result, including unchanged skeleton rows, so on stable inventories skeleton runs cost nearly as much per row as regular runs.

How to scrape bilbasen.dk

1. Go to Bilbasen in Apify Console.
2. Configure the input.
3. Set maxResults to control how many results you need.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Use cases

• Extract listing data from bilbasen.dk for market research and competitive analysis.
• Track pricing trends across regions and categories over time.
• Monitor new and changed vehicles on scheduled runs without processing the full dataset every time.
• Use structured location data for regional analysis, mapping, and geo-targeting.
• Feed structured data into AI agents, MCP tools, and automated pipelines using compact mode.
• Export clean, structured data to dashboards, spreadsheets, or data warehouses.
• Benchmark seller / dealer reputation using rating fields.

How much does it cost to scrape bilbasen.dk?

Bilbasen uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.01 per run
• Per result: $0.002 per listing record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.03
• 25 results: $0.06
• 100 results: $0.21
• 200 results: $0.41
• 500 results: $1.01

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of vehicles that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.21	$0.02	$0.19 (90%)	$0.60
15% — moderate broad query	$0.21	$0.04	$0.17 (81%)	$1.20
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.21	$0.07	$0.14 (67%)	$2.10

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $6.30. First month with incremental costs $0.79 / $1.37 / $2.24 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
