2dehands.be Product Details Scraper: Extract Belgian Marketplace Listings Data

Introduction

2dehands.be (formerly 2ememain.be) is Belgium's leading online marketplace for buying and selling second-hand goods, similar to Craigslist or eBay Classifieds. With millions of active listings spanning categories from electronics and furniture to vehicles and real estate, 2dehands.be serves as a vital platform for the Belgian circular economy and consumer-to-consumer commerce.

For businesses engaged in market research, price intelligence, competitive analysis, or resale operations in the Belgian market, accessing structured product data from 2dehands.be is invaluable. However, manually collecting detailed information from individual product listings is extremely time-consuming, especially when analyzing market trends, monitoring competitor pricing, or building product databases.

The 2dehands.be Product Details Scraper automates extraction of comprehensive product information from individual listing pages, enabling systematic data collection for market intelligence, pricing strategy, and business analytics.

Scraper Overview

The 2dehands.be Product Details Scraper is a specialized tool designed to extract detailed information from individual product listing pages on Belgium's largest online marketplace. This scraper navigates directly to specific product URLs and extracts comprehensive data including product details, seller information, pricing, shipping options, and engagement statistics.

The tool offers residential proxy support for reliable access, configurable retry mechanisms for handling network issues, and bulk URL processing capabilities. It's particularly valuable for resellers monitoring inventory opportunities, market researchers analyzing Belgian consumer behavior, price intelligence analysts tracking market trends, and competitive analysts studying product positioning and pricing strategies.

The scraper maintains high accuracy while respecting rate limits and implementing ethical scraping practices. Users can process multiple product URLs simultaneously to build comprehensive datasets for analysis and decision-making.

The urls parameter: Add the URLs of specific product detail pages you want to scrape. You can paste URLs one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list. Each URL should point to an individual product listing page on 2dehands.be.

The max_retries_per_url parameter: Limit the number of retries for each URL if the scrape is detected as a bot or the page fails to load. Default value is 2, balancing thoroughness with efficiency.

The proxy parameter: Proxy configuration is essential for avoiding detection. For best results with 2dehands.be, use Belgian residential proxies (apifyProxyCountry: "BE") to ensure optimal access and reduce blocking risk.

Usage Guide

Setting Up Product URL Extraction

Step 1: Identify Target Products

Navigate to 2dehands.be and locate the specific product listings you want to analyze. You can find products through:

• Category browsing
• Keyword searches
• Seller profiles

Copy the full URL from each product detail page you want to scrape.

Step 2: Prepare URL List

Collect product URLs in your input configuration:

• Add URLs individually for small batches
• Use Bulk edit feature for large lists
• Ensure URLs are complete and properly formatted
• Remove tracking parameters if desired (though not required)

Step 3: Configure Proxy Settings

For optimal scraping performance:

• Enable Apify residential proxies
• Set apifyProxyCountry to "BE" for Belgian proxies
