Blocket scraper for Swedish classifieds. Each row is one listing: asking price in SEK, location, seller type, description, and photos. Cars add year and mileage. Search by keyword or category, or paste a results URL. Use it as a Blocket scraper and Blocket API alternative from Python, Node.js, cURL, or Apify MCP, and export the dataset as JSON.

Best for: phone and general for-sale comps, used cars, boats, and a scheduled run that saves only new ads and price changes.

When to use this Actor

• Cars, boats, motorcycles, or caravans — Pick the category. Leave Keyword empty to browse that section, or add a make.
• A results page you already opened — Paste the search URL. Keyword and category are ignored when Search URLs is set.
• One listing — Paste the listing URL. The run saves that page.
• New ads and price cuts — Turn on monitor mode and schedule the same search. The first run stores a baseline and saves nothing. Later runs save new listing ids and price changes.

When not to use this Actor

FAQ

Does this open every listing page? Yes, when Open listing pages is on. Monitor seed runs skip those pages and save nothing. Turn the option off to keep the search card only.

Which categories are included? For sale, cars, boats, motorcycles, and caravans. A pasted search URL can target any public results page.

What if the run is blocked? Turn the proxy on and retry. If datacenter is still blocked, switch the proxy to residential.

What does monitor mode skip? Listing ids already stored for that same search, unless the asking price changed. A quiet tick writes zero rows. The first run only fills the baseline.

Are phone numbers included? The contact button is not called. A number written in the description stays in description.

How do I export the rows? The run writes one listing per dataset row. Download JSON, CSV, or Excel from that dataset, or read it with the Node.js, Python, and cURL examples.
