Back Market Scraper

Back Market Scraper creates a structured dataset of refurbished product offers collected from Back Market. Each dataset item is one product offer and can include the product and listing ids, name, brand, grade, price, currency, rating, review count, stock, and product URL. Query the source with search terms or Back Market URLs, choose one of 17 country sites, optionally add product details and reviews, limit results with maxItems, and retrieve records through the Apify Dataset API or export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or another supported format.

Coverage and available records

Search queries use the selected country site. Start URLs can be a search page, a category page, or a product page, and they keep the country in the URL. The saved run searched iphone on the Germany site.

Supported countries: Germany, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Spain, Finland, France, United Kingdom, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia, and the United States.

A search card includes name, model, brand, color, subtitle, URL, image, current and original price, currency, grade, category, rating, review count, warranty months, stock, country, locale, and the query that produced it.

includeProductDetails adds description, HTML description, what the offer comes with, score chips, units sold, specifications, variants, and stock flags. includeReviews adds a reviews array, capped by maxReviews (default 10). Those two options are off by default. The saved sample had both on, with three reviews.

maxItems defaults to 0, which means no product cap. The input prefill is 10.

Not currently collected: a historical price series, or reviews beyond maxReviews.

Retrieve the data through the API

1. Start datascrapers/backmarket-scraper with the JSON input.
2. Wait until the run finishes, or call the synchronous dataset endpoint.
3. Read items from the run's default dataset.
4. Paginate with dataset offset and limit, or export from the Apify console.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("datascrapers/backmarket-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "searchQueries": ["iphone"],
        "country": "DE",
        "maxItems": 10,
    }
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["listingId"], item["name"], item["price"])

Other languages are listed on the Actor's API tab. This is the Apify Actor API, not a Back Market API.

Data quality and record handling

• One pushed record is one offer. The product event is charged when that record is pushed.
• Deduplicate offers on listingId. Use productId when you want one row per product across grades and colors.
• The same product can appear as several offers. Do not collapse them on name.
• Price is a number in currency. formattedPrice keeps the site's grouping and symbol.
• Grade labels follow the country locale. Gut is the German label on the saved card.
• Detail and review fields are absent when those options are off. A failed detail request does not invent them.
• Each successfully collected review adds one product-reviews charge. A product-page enrichment adds one product-details charge.
• reviewCount is the count shown on the card. It can be larger than the reviews array, which stops at maxReviews.

Pricing and cost examples

The price file in the Actor folder prices every event at $1.50 per 1,000 on the free plan. The same file lowers that rate on paid plans. Prices are per event, not per 1,000 as a single invoice line. One product charge is one pushed offer. One product-details charge is one enriched product. One product-reviews charge is one review.

Plan	Price per 1,000 events
Free	$1.50
Bronze	$1.40
Silver	$1.30
Gold	$1.20
Platinum and Diamond	$1.20

Platinum and Diamond are not listed in the file. They use the Gold rate. The file also sets platform usage as not charged to the user.

Offers	Cards only	Cards, details, and 3 reviews each
1,000	$1.50	$7.50
10,000	$15.00	$75.00

The second column is the free-plan rate: one product, one detail, and three reviews per offer. It is lower on Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Limitations and responsible data use

• Coverage is the search or URL you send, on the country site you select.
• Start URLs ignore country and use the country in the URL.
• Prices, stock, and grades change on Back Market. This dataset is not a price history.
• Review text is written by customers and can include personal details.
• You are responsible for complying with Back Market's terms and applicable law.

Dataset questions

What does one dataset item represent?

One Back Market product offer. With details and reviews enabled, that same record also contains the product page and the reviews that were collected.

Which field should I use as a unique identifier?

Use listingId for the offer. Use productId for the product across grades and storage options.

Are fields nullable or conditional?

Yes. Description, specifications, variants, and reviews appear only when the matching option is enabled and the page returns them.

Can I retrieve the records as CSV or JSON?

Yes. Export the default dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or another Apify format.

How do I paginate large datasets?

Set maxItems on the run. 0 removes the cap. Read items with dataset limit and offset.

Does the Actor return historical data?

No. Each run returns the offers available at request time.

What counts as a billable result?

Each pushed offer charges product. Each enriched product charges product-details. Each collected review charges product-reviews. The free-plan price is $0.0015 per event.
