## 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).

# README

## Marktplaats Scraper

Scrape listings from [Marktplaats](https://www.marktplaats.nl) easily with Marktplaats Scraper.

### About

Marktplaats.nl is the Netherlands’ leading online classifieds platform where millions of people buy and sell goods and services — from cars and furniture to jobs and electronics — every single day. The name literally means “marketplace” in Dutch.

Site was founded 1999 by René van Mullem, a Dutch entrepreneur.

What began as a simple online bulletin board for classified ads quickly took off in popularity. People loved the idea of an easy place to list and find items — it acted like a digital version of local flea markets or newspaper classifieds.

Within the first year, Marktplaats.nl had already amassed substantial listings and visitors — prompting an early acquisition. Late 1999: Sold to Het Goed B.V., a Dutch chain of charity shops, for about ƒ600,000 (~€273,000). 2004: Major milestone — eBay buys Marktplaats for approximately €225 million, recognizing its dominant market position. 2020: eBay sells its classifieds business (including Marktplaats) to Adevinta, a Norwegian online classifieds specialist, as part of a large $9.2B transaction.

Marktplaats grew from a humble startup into the go-to classifieds site in the Netherlands:

In the early 2000s, user activity exploded — at one point posting 260,000+ ads per day and featuring millions of active ads by 2010.

By the mid-2010s, milestones like 1 billion total ads placed were celebrated.
