Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? 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
Devil Scrapes mark ## Blocket Car Scraper (Sweden) **πŸ’° $2.05 / 1 000 results**  Β·  pay only for results  Β·  no credit card to try _We do the dirty work so your dataset stays clean._ 😈 Scrape used-car listings from Blocket.se β€” Sweden's #1 classifieds marketplace. Get make, model, year, price in SEK, mileage in km (converted from the Swedish 'mil'), fuel, gearbox, power (hp), body type, colour, first registration, drivetrain, owner count, seller type (dealer/private), location and photos. Export to JSON or CSV.
--- ### 🎯 What this scrapes Blocket.se is Sweden's largest marketplace and lists tens of thousands of used cars β€” with no public API. This Actor scrapes the public car search: filter by free-text query, make, or paste a full Blocket search URL, and (optionally) enrich each listing from its detail page with mileage, gearbox, engine power, body type, colour, first-registration date, drivetrain, owner count, and whether the seller is a dealer or a private person. Swedish 'mil' odometer readings are converted to kilometres for you. Built on `curl-cffi` with browser TLS impersonation and Apify residential proxy rotation. ### πŸ”₯ What we handle for you - πŸ›‘οΈ **Browser fingerprint rotation** β€” `curl-cffi` impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python. - 🌐 **Residential proxy rotation** via Apify Proxy β€” fresh session and exit IP on every block. - πŸ” **Retries with exponential backoff** on `408 / 429 / 5xx` β€” up to 5 attempts per page, `Retry-After` honoured. - 🧱 **Rate-limit-aware pacing** β€” when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned. - 🧊 **Clean, typed dataset rows** β€” Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console. - πŸ’° **Pay-Per-Event pricing** β€” you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge. ### πŸ’‘ Use cases - **Used-car price analytics** β€” track SEK price vs mileage and model year across the Swedish market. - **Dealer-inventory monitoring** β€” filter by seller_type = dealer and watch a competitor's stock turnover. - **EV market tracking** β€” query electric makes/models and chart Sweden's fast-moving used-EV pricing. - **Lead generation** β€” build a directory of private sellers and dealers by make, region, and price band. - **Arbitrage + sourcing** β€” spot under-priced listings the moment they appear with a daily diff. ### βš™οΈ How to use it 1.

No subscription, no minimum, no card to start β€” Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit. ### 🚧 Limitations Blocket paginates search results in pages of ~43 listings; very large result sets take proportionally longer. Detail enrichment doubles the request count and run time. Spec labels are Swedish and mapped to standard fields; rare or missing labels surface as null rather than guessed values. Odometer readings are converted from the Swedish mil (1 mil = 10 km). Some private listings hide the seller's name, so seller\_name can be null even when seller\_type is known. ### ❓ FAQ **What does mileage\_km mean β€” Blocket shows 'mil'?** Sweden reports odometers in the Swedish mile (mil), where 1 mil = 10 kilometres. We convert it for you: a listing showing 23 800 mil becomes 238000 in mileage\_km, so it lines up with the rest of our automotive fleet. **Why are mileage, gearbox and power sometimes null?** Those live on each car's detail page. Keep enrichDetails on (the default) to fill them; turn it off to halve the request count and get just make, model, price, photos and the trim line from the search payload. **What currency are prices in?** Swedish kronor (SEK). The currency field is set to SEK and price is an integer amount. **How do I search a specific make or model?** Set make, type a query like volvo v70, or paste a full Blocket search searchUrl with the filters already applied β€” the URL wins if all three are set. **Is this a Blocket-sanctioned API?** No. Blocket.se publishes no public car API. This Actor scrapes the public website politely with browser TLS impersonation and proxy rotation β€” see the ToS notice in the README. ### πŸ’¬ Your feedback Spotted a bug, hit a weird edge case, or need a new field?
