Marktplaats Scraper 🇳🇱

The only Marktplaats scraper that searches by KEYWORD or extracts DIRECT URLs. No need to manually filter URLs. Enter a term (e.g., "iPhone 15", "Bakfiets") or a specific ad link and get detailed results instantly.

🚀 Why this scraper?

Most scrapers require you to manually visit the website, apply filters, copy the URL, and paste it into the scraper. That's slow and unscalable.

Marktplaats Scraper acts like a real user with Dual Mode:

1. Search Mode: You provide a Search Query (e.g., "MacBook Pro"). The actor navigates, searches, handles pagination, and extracts clean data.
2. Direct Mode: You provide specific Listing URLs. The actor visits each page and extracts deep details (all 20+ photos, full description).

Perfect for:

• 📉 Price Monitoring: Track competitors or market trends.
• 🏠 Real Estate: Find new apartment listings instantly.
• 🚗 Automotive: Monitor car prices across the Netherlands.
• 📦 Arbitrage: Spot undervalued items before anyone else.

Input Payload (JSON)

{
    // MODE 1: Search
    "searchQuery": "iPhone 15 Pro",
    "sortBy": "newest",
    "maxPages": 1,

    // MODE 2: Direct URLs (Optional - Overrides Search)
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/audio-tv-en-foto/m2343840838" }
    ],

    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}

🐍 Python Example (Simple & Clean)

This script runs the scraper and saves the results to a local file.

import json
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# 1. Configuration
APIFY_TOKEN = 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN'
ACTOR_ID = 'daddyapi/marktplaats-scraper'

client = ApifyClient(APIFY_TOKEN)

# 2. Define Input
run_input = {
    "searchQuery": "Bakfiets", 
    "sortBy": "newest",
    "maxPages": 1,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}

print(f"🚀 Starting scraper for: {run_input['searchQuery']}...")

# 3. Run Actor
run = client.actor(ACTOR_ID).call(run_input=run_input)

if not run:
    print("❌ Failed to start run.")
    exit(1)

print(f"✅ Run finished! Status: {run['status']}")

# 4. Fetch & Save Results
dataset_client = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"])
items = dataset_client.list_items().items

filename = "results.json"
with open(filename, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    json.dump(items, f, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)

print(f"💾 Saved {len(items)} listings to {filename}")

🔒 Proxy Configuration (Bring Your Own Proxies)

This actor is fully compatible with Apify Proxy (Datacenter & Residential) and Custom Proxies.

1. Datacenter Proxies (Cost-Effective)

Great for high-volume users, but Marktplaats blocks them often. Use at your own risk.

{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["BUYPROXIES94952"]
    }
}

2. Residential Proxies (Best Reliability)

Recommended. Residential proxies are harder to block and provide the highest success rate (near 100%).

{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}
