Willhaben Auto Scraper — Austrian used-car listings, prices and dealers

Willhaben is Austria's largest marketplace, and its Gebrauchtwagenbörse is where most Austrian used cars are listed, by dealers and by private sellers alike. This Actor turns the car listings into a clean table: what the car is, what it costs, where it is, and who is selling it.

Press Start. The defaults return listings from across Austria with no configuration needed.

What a row looks like

Dealer identity comes with the row when Willhaben marks the ad as a dealer's — about 98 rows in 100 on a sample run — with no second request and no extra charge. A private seller, or an ad Willhaben leaves unmarked, is treated as a person: seller_name and dealer_id are empty and seller_type is private, because guessing there would mean publishing a person's name. Phone numbers, email addresses and the free-text ad body are never collected, for anyone.

What people use it for

Price monitoring, where you re-run a saved search on a schedule and watch a segment of the Austrian market move. Dealer and inventory research, where the seller fields matter as much as the cars. And feeding a comparison or valuation tool that needs Austrian market data it cannot get from an official API.

Input

Field	What it does
location	An Austrian state slug, such as wien, steiermark or tirol. Uses Willhaben's own state pages. Leave empty for the whole country.
postedAfter	Only keep listings published after this date-time (ISO 8601). Willhaben publishes timestamps to the second, so this filter works to the minute.
maxItems	Hard stop, so your bill is predictable.
proxyConfiguration	Off by default. Most runs do not need one.

There is no make or model filter. Willhaben's make filter lives on a request path its robots.txt disallows, so this Actor returns the state or the country and you filter the rows yourself. Set maxItems accordingly — Austria-wide is about 157,000 ads.

Pricing

$3.00 per 1,000 listings, dropping to $1.50 per 1,000 on higher Apify plans, plus $0.005 each time a run starts. There is no separate charge for dealer details, and platform usage is not passed on to you.

You are charged for rows you actually receive. If you set a maximum charge for the run, it stops cleanly at that limit instead of overshooting it.

Scope and limits

Public listings only, from the search results page. Engine displacement and the dealer's own website are not on that page, so they are not in the output; power is given in hp, converted from the kW Willhaben publishes.

If the state slug is not one Willhaben recognises — or if Willhaben quietly answers a state page with nationwide results, which it does for some URL shapes — the run fails and tells you, rather than returning every car in Austria and charging you for them.

Willhaben's search is not strictly sorted by date, so postedAfter checks two full pages of older listings before it stops, to avoid missing new ones that sit behind promoted ads.

If Willhaben changes its page structure, the run goes red. It does not return zero rows and report success — a silent scraper is worse than a broken one, because you find out weeks later.

A run that is blocked or cut short partway also goes red, even though the rows it did collect are in the dataset and yours to keep. Red here means "this is not the complete answer", not "you lost the data" — on a schedule, a run that quietly came back short is the thing you most need to hear about.

Every run also publishes the site's own result count next to the rows it delivered, so you can see "60 rows of 9,969 the site reports" without going back to the site to check. That number is what the site says, not a promise about what one run returns.

Same data, other countries

This Actor shares its output shape with the Otomoto (Poland), Standvirtual (Portugal), Marktplaats (Netherlands) and 2dehands (Belgium) car scrapers. A parser you write for one keeps working on the others.
