DBA.dk Scraper — Denmark Classifieds & Prices

---

🚀 Why scrape DBA.dk?

DBA.dk (Den Blå Avis) is Denmark's largest classifieds marketplace (part of Schibsted) — used cars, electronics, home & furniture, leisure, and almost everything else Danes buy and sell second-hand. This danish marketplace scraper reads the site's own structured listing data (the JSON payload behind every search page), so you get clean, typed fields with no login and no API key, and it paginates through the result set automatically.

It's two tools in one:

🚗 a Denmark used-cars dataset — price tracking, depreciation models, dealer-vs-private analysis, market comps & ML — and 📊 a Danish second-hand marketplace dataset — price intelligence, demand research, reselling & arbitrage, dashboards.

❓ What does the DBA.dk scraper do?

You paste one or more dba.dk search or category URLs, and the actor returns one clean, structured row per listing — ready to download as CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull from the Apify API.

It covers two of dba.dk's platforms with one parser:

Platform	Example URL	What you get
🚗 Vehicles (cars, MC, boats, vans)	https://www.dba.dk/mobility/search/car?registration_class=1	Rich car fields: make, model, year, mileage, fuel, transmission, number plate, plus all common fields
🏷️ General classifieds (everything else)	https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/search?q=iphone or a category …?category=0.93	Title, price, location, brand, seller type, trade type, images

How to get a URL: go to dba.dk, set your filters / type your search / open a category, then copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into the Search / category URLs input. The cars search (/biler/biler/) redirects to the mobility URL; a keyword search or homepage category link redirects to the recommerce/forsale/search URL — both are supported as-is.

❓ FAQ

Is there a DBA.dk API?

DBA.dk has no public developer API. This actor works as an unofficial dba api alternative — it reads dba.dk's own structured search payload and returns clean, machine-readable rows with no API key, no login and no cookies.

Can I scrape dba.dk car listings?

Yes. Paste a mobility/search/... car URL (or MC / boat / van) and you get full dba biler specs — make, model, year, mileage, fuel, transmission and Danish number plate — alongside price, location and seller type.

How do I export DBA data to Excel or CSV?

Run the actor on any dba.dk search URL, then download the dataset from the Storage tab as CSV, Excel or JSON — or pull it from the Apify API. Every field above is included in one structured table, so Denmark classifieds data export to CSV/Excel is a single click.

How many listings can I scrape from dba.dk?

dba.dk hard-caps any single search or category at 50 pages (~2,600 listings) — that's a site limit, not the scraper's. To pull more, split your query into narrower searches (by category, brand, price band or region) and paste each URL into searchUrls.

Does it scrape every car detail (VIN, equipment list, full description)?

It returns everything in the search payload — make, model, year, mileage, fuel, transmission, number plate, price, location, image and more. Listing detail pages are not crawled separately, so free-text descriptions, full equipment lists and VINs are out of scope — this keeps runs fast and cheap.

What proxy should I use?

Datacenter (the default) works reliably — dba.dk is not behind a Cloudflare challenge. Switch to Residential only if you ever see blocks.

Is scraping dba.dk legal?

This danish second-hand marketplace scraper collects publicly visible listing data — the same information any visitor sees without logging in. Use it responsibly, respect dba.dk's terms, and don't store personal data beyond what you actually need. You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
