from $1.50 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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

## Finn Scraper 🇳🇴

***

### 🔑 What this scraper does

### 💡 Popular use cases

#### 🎯 Lead generation

Filter by **retailers** to build a list of commercial sellers active on Finn in your niche, or by **private** sellers for consumer research. The `sellerType` flag on every listing makes it easy to segment and target the right audience.

#### 💰 Reselling, flipping & arbitrage

Track what phones, consoles, furniture, bikes or car parts sell for in Norway. Filter by budget and seller type, watch new listings as they appear, and use `isShippable` and `canBuyNow` to find exactly the deals you want.

#### 📈 Norwegian market & price research

Build a price dataset for any product or search. Monitor supply and average prices over time, track seasonal trends with `publishedDate`, and benchmark against the live Norwegian second-hand market. GPS coordinates let you map supply geographically.

#### 🚗 Used-car & vehicle data

Scrape vehicle searches to capture titles, prices, brand, location and coordinates — useful for dealers, valuation tools and automotive analysts. Add detail enrichment for full descriptions.

#### 🛋️ Market & inventory monitoring

Follow a search or niche and watch how prices, volume and seller mix change week over week.

#### 🤖 AI, LLM & data enrichment

Feed clean, structured Finn listings into your own models, RAG pipelines, dashboards or data products. The flat JSON output plugs straight into any workflow.

### 👥 Who uses this

- **Sales & growth teams** building Norwegian lead lists of retailers.
- **Resellers & e-commerce sellers** sourcing inventory and pricing.
- **Market researchers & data teams** building second-hand datasets.
- **Automotive & market analysts** tracking supply and prices.
- **Developers & AI builders** who need reliable classifieds data via API.

***

### 🎛️ Filters explained

- **Search Terms** — keywords across all categories. Each term is searched separately, and results are combined and de-duplicated.
- **Start URLs** — paste any Finn search URL. Query filters in the URL are respected.
- **Seller Type** — `Any`, `Private sellers`, or `Retailers / dealers`. Ideal for lead generation and for separating hobby sellers from commercial ones.
- **Min / Max Price (NOK)** — keep only listings inside your budget band.
- **Max Items** — cap the total number of listings collected across all searches (`0` = unlimited).
- **Max Pages per Search** — how many result pages to scrape per term / URL. Each page holds about 50 listings, so `20` pages ≈ 1,000 listings.
- **Fetch full descriptions** — when enabled, each listing is opened to also collect its full ad description. It is slower and uses more resources, so leave it off for fast, low-cost scraping.

***

### ⚙️ Tips & best practices

- **Be specific with keywords.** `volvo v70 diesel` returns tighter results than `bil`.
- **Use several focused terms** instead of one broad term to widen coverage while staying relevant.
- **Combine `sellerType: retailer` with a niche keyword** to build the cleanest commercial lead lists.
- **Turn on Fetch full descriptions** only when you need the ad copy — the default mode is much faster and cheaper.
- **Schedule runs** to monitor prices or catch new listings automatically.
- **Start small.** Run with a low `maxItems` first to preview the data, then scale up.

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need a Finn account or API key?**
No. Just enter what you want and run — no login, no cookies, no key.

**In what currency are prices?**
Norwegian krone (NOK). The `price` field is a number and `currency` is always `NOK`.

**Can I tell private sellers from retailers?**
Yes. Every listing has a `sellerType` of `private` or `retailer` — perfect for lead generation and segmentation.

**Do I get GPS coordinates?**
Yes. Every listing includes `lat` and `lng`, so you can map supply geographically.

**Can I scrape a specific place or region?**
Apply the location filter on Finn, copy the URL and paste it into **Start URLs** — the filters carry over.

**Can I scrape cars, furniture, electronics or fashion?**
Yes. Search a relevant keyword or paste the search URL. With detail enrichment on, you also get the full ad description.

**Do I get the full ad description?**
Yes — enable **Fetch full descriptions** and each listing's full description is collected. With it off, you still get price, seller type, location, GPS, brand, attributes and photos much faster.

**How many listings can I get?**
As many as the search returns, up to your `maxItems` and `maxPagesPerSearch` limits. Set `maxItems: 0` for unlimited.

**How do I filter by price?**
Use **Min Price** and **Max Price**, or bake the price filter into a Start URL.

**What export formats are supported?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML table, RSS, and the Apify API. You can also connect to Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks or an MCP server.

**Can I automate or schedule it?**
Yes. Use the Apify Scheduler to run it on any interval, or trigger it via API/webhook from your own app.

**Is the data structured and clean?**
Yes. Every listing is normalized into a consistent, flat JSON object with typed fields, ready for spreadsheets, databases and analytics.

**Do results include duplicates?**
No. Listings are de-duplicated by their unique ID across all your search terms and URLs.
