Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Marktplaats Scraper — NL Classifieds, Prices, Sellers Scrape **Marktplaats.nl** (Netherlands #1 classifieds, ~10M monthly users) by keyword, category, location, price range, and seller type. Returns structured data including price type (fixed/bidding/free), condition, seller info, location, images, and all listing attributes. ### What you get Each record contains: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `listing_id` | Unique Marktplaats item ID (e.g. `m2407274983`) | | `title` | Listing title | | `description` | Full description text | | `url` | Direct URL to the listing | | `price` | Price in EUR (float) | | `price_cents` | Price in cents (integer) | | `price_type` | `FIXED`, `MIN_BID`, `FREE`, `FAST_BID`, or `SEE_DESCRIPTION` | | `condition` | Item condition (e.g. `Zo goed als nieuw`, `Gebruikt`) | | `location_city` | Seller city | | `location_country` | Country abbreviation (`NL`) | | `location_lat` / `location_lng` | GPS coordinates | | `seller_id` | Seller ID | | `seller_name` | Seller display name | | `seller_type` | `private`, `business`, or `null` | | `is_verified` | Whether seller is Marktplaats-verified | | `posted_date` | Posting date (raw: `Vandaag`, `Gisteren`, or date string) | | `image_urls` | List of full-size image URLs | | `thumbnail` | First image URL | | `image_count` | Number of images | | `attributes_map` | All listing attributes as `{key: value}` flat dict | | `is_reserved` | Whether listing is reserved | | `priority_product` | Promoted placement type (e.g. `DAGTOPPER`) | | `traits` | Feature flags list | | `category_id` | Marktplaats category ID | ### Pricing **Pay per result** — charged per listing item returned. **$0.90 per 1 000 listings** — the lowest credible price in the niche. ### Inputs | Input | Description | |---|---| | `query` | Search keyword(s) — e.g. `fiets`, `iphone 14`, `volkswagen golf` | | `l1CategoryId` | L1 category numeric ID (optional) | | `l2CategoryId` | L2 sub-category numeric ID (optional) | | `postcode` | Dutch postcode for proximity filter (e.g. `1012AB`) | | `distanceMeters` | Radius around postcode in meters (e.g. `25000`) | | `priceMin` | Minimum price in EUR | | `priceMax` | Maximum price in EUR | | `sellerType` | `all` (default), `private`, or `business` | | `sortBy` | `OPTIMIZED` (default), `SORT_INDEX` (by date), `PRICE` | | `sortOrder` | `DECREASING` (default) or `INCREASING` | | `maxItems` | Maximum listings to return (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Apify RESIDENTIAL (NL) proxy — recommended | ### Access Marktplaats uses a first-party JSON API with no CAPTCHA or JS challenge. Residential NL proxy is recommended for geo-targeting and reliability but is not strictly required for basic use. ### Use cases - **Price monitoring** — track price history across NL classifieds - **Inventory sourcing** — find items by category + location + condition - **Competitive intelligence** — monitor seller pricing in a niche - **Lead generation** — identify sellers or buyers in specific segments - **Market research** — aggregate NL second-hand market data at scale # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Keyword(s) to search on Marktplaats (e.g. 'fiets', 'iphone 14', 'volkswagen golf'). Maps to the 'query' parameter on marktplaats.nl. Required unless you rely on category browsing alone. ## `l1CategoryId` (type: `integer`): Top-level Marktplaats category numeric ID. Find it in the URL when browsing a category on marktplaats.nl (e.g. l1CategoryId=31 for Computers & Software). Leave blank for all categories. ## `l2CategoryId` (type: `integer`): Sub-category numeric ID under the L1 category. Find it in the Marktplaats URL after navigating to a sub-category. Requires l1CategoryId to be set. ## `postcode` (type: `string`): Dutch postcode to use as the search location centre, e.g. '1012AB' for Amsterdam. Combine with distanceMeters to filter by proximity. ## `distanceMeters` (type: `integer`): Radius around the postcode in meters. Common values: 5000 (5 km), 10000 (10 km), 25000 (25 km), 50000 (50 km), 75000 (75 km). Only used when postcode is set. ## `priceMin` (type: `integer`): Only return listings priced at or above this amount in euros. Leave blank for no lower bound. ## `priceMax` (type: `integer`): Only return listings priced at or below this amount in euros. Leave blank for no upper bound. ## `sellerType` (type: `string`): Restrict to private sellers ('private'), commercial/business sellers ('business'), or all ('all'). ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): How to sort results. SORT_INDEX = newest/date; PRICE = by price; OPTIMIZED = Marktplaats relevance (default). ## `sortOrder` (type: `string`): DECREASING = newest first / highest price first; INCREASING = oldest first / lowest price first. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listings to return across all pages. Set to 0 for all available results (can be thousands — you are charged per listing returned). Default 100. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Marktplaats JSON API is accessible with standard residential proxy. Apify RESIDENTIAL (NL) is recommended for best reliability and to appear as a Dutch visitor. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "fiets", "sellerType": "all", "sortBy": "OPTIMIZED", "sortOrder": "DECREASING", "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "NL" } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset containing Marktplaats Listings Scraper records (title, price, price\_type, condition, location\_city, seller\_name, seller\_type, posted\_date, url, image\_count, parse\_confidence). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
