mobile.de Car Scraper - Germany’s Largest Car Marketplace

What does mobile.de Car Scraper do?

mobile.de Car Scraper turns Germany's largest car marketplace (1.4 million+ listings) into clean, structured JSON. Prices, full specifications, equipment, dealer phones and GPS coordinates, EV battery capacity, KBA registration codes, repost detection, and price-direction monitoring across runs — all in one feed.

Why pick this scraper?

• 70+ structured output fields — search-page essentials plus 30+ extra fields when includeDetails is on (VIN, full description, equipment list, dealer street + GPS, accident-free flag, previous owners, HU date, EV battery capacity, etc.).
• Normalized enums — fuelType: "ELECTRIC" and transmission: "AUTOMATIC" instead of raw German "Elektro" / "Automatik". Raw German is preserved as *Raw siblings if you need it.
• Multi-select filters — pick several fuel types, transmissions, body types, and conditions at once. Filter by exterior colour. Search Cars, Motorbikes, Motorhomes, Vans, Trucks, Buses, Trailers, and Construction & Agricultural Machinery.
• Incremental price monitoring — priceChange: UP/DOWN plus priceChangeAmount on every recurring run. Detect listings that disappeared (changeType: EXPIRED).
• 5-channel notifications — Slack, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp Cloud API, plus a generic JSON webhook for n8n / Make / Zapier / custom backends. Deliver new + price-changed listings as formatted messages.
• Compact mode — strip to core fields (listingId, title, make, model, price, mileageKm, firstRegistration, fuelType, transmission, bodyType, powerPs, batteryCapacityKwh, location, priceChange) for LLM context windows.
• Strong filter correctness — multi-word makes (Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo) are parsed correctly. Filter values are translated to mobile.de's canonical URL params (ELECTRICITY, HYBRID_PLUGIN, EstateCar, SmallCar, OffRoad) — no silent no-ops.

What data can you extract from mobile.de?

Each listing record carries (when available):

Identity: listingId, listingKey, canonicalUrl, sourceUrl, searchQuery, searchUrl, category.

Title: title, subTitle, make, model, series, trimLevel.

Pricing: price, priceCurrency, priceType, netPrice, vatDeductible, priceRating (VERY_GOOD / GOOD / FAIR / HIGH / VERY_HIGH), priceRatingRaw.

Specs: mileageKm, firstRegistration (MM/YYYY), firstRegistrationDate (ISO), yearOfManufacture, fuelType (canonical), fuelTypeRaw (German), powerKw, powerPs, transmission (canonical), transmissionRaw, bodyType (canonical), bodyTypeRaw, engineSize, cubicCapacityCc, cylinders, batteryCapacityKwh, emissionClass, driveType.

Condition + history: condition (canonical), conditionRaw, accidentFree, previousOwners, huStatus, vin (detail only, when published), vehicleNumber, availability, origin, weight, trailerLoadBraked, trailerLoadUnbraked.

Incremental mode adds: changeType (NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / EXPIRED / REAPPEARED), firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt, expiredAt, priceChange (UP / DOWN), priceChangeAmount, isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt, contentHash.

In standard mode all fields are always present — unavailable values are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode only the core fields ship.

Input

The fastest way to start is a free-text search keyword and a result cap. Most use cases need only that.

Common parameters:

• query — Free-text search keywords (e.g. "VW Golf GTI"). Use a JSON array for multi-query.
• make + model — Brand + model names. model accepts a string, comma-separated list, or JSON array.
• startUrls — Paste mobile.de search URLs directly when you want full filter control beyond the structured fields.
• category — CAR (default), MOTORBIKE, MOTORHOME, VAN, TRUCK_OVER_7500, BUS, etc.
• maxResults — 0 = unlimited (mobile.de SERPs cap at ~2,000 per query). Default 25.

Filters (multi-select):

• fuelType[], transmission[], bodyType[], condition[], exteriorColor[]
• sellerType — DEALER / PRIVATE
• damageStatus — ANY (default) / EXCLUDE / ONLY
• priceMin/Max, mileageMin/Max, yearMin/Max, powerMin/Max (PS, auto-converted to kW)
• zipCode + radiusKm (or radiusMiles)
• sort — relevance / price asc/desc / mileage asc/desc / registration asc/desc / newest / oldest

Enrichment:

• includeDetails: true — fetch each listing's detail page for VIN, full description, equipment list, dealer GPS coordinates, and 25+ other fields.
• descriptionMaxLength — truncate descriptions for LLM pipelines.
• reviewLimit — extract dealer review text bodies (capped, default 0 = off).

Post-fetch filters:

• includeKeywords / excludeKeywords — keyword DSL with field scoping (title / subTitle / description).
• customFilters[] — operator DSL: [{"field":"powerPs","op":"gte","value":300},{"field":"description","op":"notIncludes","value":"Bastler"}].
• fromDate / toDate / maxAgeMinutes.

Incremental & monitoring:

• incrementalMode: true — only emit new + changed (+ optionally unchanged + expired) listings. State persists across runs in the named KV store mobile-de-state.
• stateKey — unique tag per tracked search. Defaults to a key derived from your inputs.
• emitUnchanged, emitExpired, skipReposts.

Notifications (5 destinations, all opt-in, fire in parallel):

• telegramToken + telegramChatId — Telegram bot from @BotFather.
• slackWebhookUrl — Slack incoming webhook.
• discordWebhookUrl — Discord channel webhook (rich embeds with fields, colour-coded by change type).
• whatsappAccessToken + whatsappPhoneNumberId + whatsappTo — WhatsApp Cloud API (Meta). Recipient must have messaged your business number within 24 h.
• webhookUrl (+ optional webhookHeaders) — generic JSON POST { metadata, items }. Universal hook for n8n / Make / Zapier / custom backends.
• notificationLimit (default 5), notifyOnlyChanges (default true), includeRunMetadata (default true).

3. Set maxResults to control how many results you need.
4. Toggle includeDetails if you want the full 70+ field record.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or wire it into Make / Zapier / Airbyte / Keboola via Apify integrations.

Use cases

• Pricing intelligence — track average asking price by make / model / year / region. Build a price-rating model from the included priceRating.
• Dealer leads — sellerName, sellerStreet, sellerPhones, sellerLatitude/Longitude, sellerLanguages, sellerWebsite for outreach automation.
• Monitoring + alerting — run daily in incremental mode with a Telegram or Discord webhook; get pinged the moment a target listing drops in price or disappears.
• EV market analysis — batteryCapacityKwh, fuelType: ELECTRIC, chargingTime, plugTypes (when published) for fleet sizing and charging-network planning.
• Insurance + financing — kbaHsn + kbaTsn codes plus full registration date for German vehicle-insurance quote integrations.
• AI / RAG pipelines — descriptionMarkdown and compact mode keep tokens predictable for LLM context windows.
• Repost + churn detection — isRepost + repostOfId + expiredAt reveal when a listing is taken down and resurfaced.

How much does mobile.de Car Scraper cost?

mobile.de Car Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced. Detail enrichment, normalization, multi-select filters, notifications, and price-direction monitoring are all included in the base per-result price — no surcharges.

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Per result: $0.001 per listing record

Volume	Cost
10 results	$0.01
100 results	$0.11
500 results	$0.51
1,000 results	$1.01

Recurring monitoring savings

Examples below compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings 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 are examples, not predictions.

Setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month).

Churn rate	Full re-scrape	Incremental run	Savings	Monthly after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.11	$0.01	90 %	$0.30
15% — moderate broad query	$0.11	$0.02	81 %	$0.60
30% — high-churn aggregator	$0.11	$0.03	67 %	$1.05

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $3.15. The first incremental run costs the same as a full scrape because it builds the baseline state.

FAQ

How many results can I get from mobile.de?

mobile.de's SERP caps at roughly 2,000 results per query. To go beyond, narrow with structured filters (make, model, year range, body type) or split by region using zipCode + radiusKm.

Does mobile.de Car Scraper support recurring monitoring?

Yes. Enable incrementalMode to receive only new, updated, and price-changed listings on subsequent runs. Pair with notifyOnlyChanges + telegramToken for real-time alerts. The actor tracks last-known prices internally so you also get priceChange: UP/DOWN and priceChangeAmount.

Why are some filters multi-select?

Multi-select lets one run cover several scenarios — e.g. all-electric and plug-in hybrids, or SUVs and off-road vehicles, in a single search. You can pass either a single string or an array; both work.

Why do fuelType (canonical) and fuelTypeRaw (German) both appear?

Canonical English values let you filter and join across pipelines without locale-aware code. The raw German value is preserved for cases where you need the exact mobile.de label (e.g. for re-display on a German-facing UI).

Does it work for motorbikes / motorhomes / trucks?

Yes — set category to MOTORBIKE, MOTORHOME, VAN, TRUCK_OVER_7500, TRUCK_UP_TO_7500, BUS, TRAILER, SEMI_TRAILER, CONSTRUCTION_MACHINE, AGRICULTURAL_VEHICLE, or FORKLIFT_TRUCK.

Can I integrate with other apps?

Yes. mobile.de Car Scraper works with Apify integrations — Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Airbyte, Keboola, Slack — and the built-in Slack / Telegram / Discord notifications.

Can I use mobile.de Car Scraper through an MCP Server?

Yes. Apify provides an MCP Server that lets AI assistants and agents call this actor directly. Use compact: true and descriptionMaxLength to keep payloads manageable for LLM context windows.

What about VIN?

When the seller publishes the VIN on the detail page (Fahrzeug-Identifizierungsnummer), the actor extracts it. Most listings on mobile.de don't expose VIN publicly — for those you'll get vin: null.

Is it legal to scrape mobile.de?

This actor extracts publicly available data. Web scraping of public information is generally considered legal, but you should always review the target site's terms of service and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations, including GDPR where relevant.
