## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.nl Scraper

Want to find deals on [Marktplaats](https://www.marktplaats.nl/) or analyse the Dutch second-hand market? This scraper makes it super easy!

Use **structured filters** (keyword, category, price, postcode) — structured filters work better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`** straight from your browser once you've already filtered on Marktplaats. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters below. Either way, you get listing data with prices, location, seller, and photos as CSV or JSON.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Buyers:** Monitor prices for bikes, phones, furniture, cars, and more.
- **Sellers & Resellers:** Track comparable listings and competitor pricing.
- **Market Research:** Analyse supply and pricing across Dutch categories.
- **Data Analysts:** Export clean structured data for dashboards and models.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power bots and OpenClaw workflows with real-time Marktplaats listings.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed listing titles, prices, and descriptions into retrieval pipelines.
- **🔗 AI Workflows:** Plug into LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, and similar stacks.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste a Marktplaats results URL (`input_url`) if you already filtered in the browser — hash filters like `#PriceCentsFrom:…` are supported — or use structured filters (better for AI agents). `input_url` always wins when set; leave it empty when you want filters to apply.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Search:** Uses Marktplaats’ own `/lrp/api/search` endpoint (same data as the site).
- 📍 **Distance Search:** Optional Dutch postcode + radius in km.
- 🗂️ **Categories:** All major L1 categories, plus optional L2 slug (e.g. `bmw` under Auto's).
- 🇳🇱 **Built for the Netherlands:** Nationwide Marktplaats inventory.

### 📦 What's inside the data?

For every listing you will get:
- **Core:** `id`, `url`, `title`, `description`, `date`, `category_id`
- **Pricing:** `price` (EUR), `price_cents`, `price_type`, `price_currency`
- **Location:** `city`, `country`, `latitude`, `longitude`
- **Seller:** `seller_id`, `seller_name`, `seller_verified`
- **Media / meta:** `image_url`, `image_urls`, `attributes`, `priority_product`, `traits`

### 🛠️ Sort options

- **`optimized`** – Relevance *(default)*
- **`date_desc` / `date_asc`** – Newest / oldest
- **`price_asc` / `price_desc`** – Price low→high / high→low
- **`year_desc` / `year_asc`** – Construction year (cars & similar)
- **`mileage_asc` / `mileage_desc`** – Mileage (cars & similar)

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Input URL**
1. Open [Marktplaats](https://www.marktplaats.nl/), apply filters, copy the results URL (hash filters are OK).
2. Paste it into `input_url` and leave other filters empty / ignored.
3. Set `max_listings` and click **Start**.

**Option B — Structured filters (better for AI agents)**
1. Leave `input_url` empty.
2. Set `query` and/or `category` (+ optional subcategory, price, postcode).
3. Set `max_listings` (up to 2000) and click **Start**.

Export CSV, Excel, or JSON when done.
