## Pricing

from $0.00075 / listing

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?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## DBA Scraper: Denmark Marketplace Ads & Used Cars (dba.dk)

**DBA Scraper** extracts listings from **DBA.dk (Den Blå Avis)**, Denmark's largest marketplace for second-hand items and used cars. Search the **marketplace (Køb & Salg)** for anything — bikes, furniture, phones, prams, electronics — or **used cars (Biler)**. Every ad includes the **title, price in DKK, location, GPS coordinates, photos, private or business seller and publication time**. Car ads also include **make, model, version, model year, mileage in km, fuel, gearbox, registration number and dealer name**. Filter by **price**, **model year**, **mileage** and **private sellers**, and export to **CSV, Excel or JSON**.

### FAQ

**How many ads can I get?**
DBA shows up to 50 pages per search. For bigger searches without a price filter, the scraper splits by price automatically.

**Can I monitor new ads?**
Yes. Schedule the scraper; `publishedAt` shows when each ad was posted.

**What formats can I export?**
CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, HTML and RSS, or read the results through the Apify API.

**Can I integrate DBA Scraper with other apps?**
DBA Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to [integrations on the Apify platform](https://apify.com/integrations). It works with [Make](https://apify.com/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://apify.com/integrations/zapier), [Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack), [Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte), [GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github), [Google Drive](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive) and [many more](https://apify.com/integrations), plus the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), JS/Python clients and MCP. Or use [webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

**Is it legal to scrape DBA?**
The scraper only collects publicly listed ads and does not collect private sellers' names or contact details. You are responsible for using the data in line with DBA's terms and the GDPR.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
