✨ What this Actor does / Key features

• 🛒 Keyword and category search — search a term (iphone, fiets, bank) and/or point it at any Marktplaats category or search URL (e.g. https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/auto-s/) — or both in one run.
• 💶 Price + price type — asking price in euros plus a priceType flag (FIXED, BIDDING, MIN_BID, ON_REQUEST, FREE) so you can keep only fixed-price ads and drop auctions.
• 📍 Location & GPS — city, country and latitude/longitude for every ad, ready for maps and regional analysis.
• 👤 Seller data — seller name and stable seller ID, so you can cluster listings by seller or build outreach lists.
• 🧩 Rich per-item attributes — captures the fields that actually matter per category: cars get construction year, mileage and fuel; phones get model, storage and condition; etc.
• 🔁 Auto-pagination & de-duplication — 30 listings per page, paginates automatically, stops at the last page, and de-dupes by item ID across sources.
• 🖼️ Primary image + listing URL — main photo URL and the canonical ad URL and item ID.
• ⚡ Direct HTTP + JSON extraction — reads Marktplaats' own embedded __NEXT_DATA__ JSON; no browser, no DOM walking, no fragile HTML selectors.
• 🛡️ Proxy support — Apify Proxy integration; a Netherlands/EU residential proxy is recommended for large runs.

🚀 Quick start (3 steps)

1. Configure — add one or more Search keywords and/or paste Category / search URLs. Set Max pages per source and/or Max results to control volume.
2. Run — click Start. The Actor paginates each source and streams listings into your dataset.
3. Get your data — open the Output tab and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull it via the Apify API.

📥 Input

Give the Actor at least one keyword (queries / query) and/or one category URL (startUrls). Everything else is optional.

Example — keyword search (iPhone price monitoring)

{
  "queries": ["iphone 15", "iphone 14"],
  "maxPages": 20,
  "maxResults": 1000,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "NL" }
}

Example — sweep an entire category (used cars)

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/auto-s/" }],
  "maxPages": 50,
  "includePromoted": false
}

Example — keyword + category in one run (seller lead list)

{
  "queries": ["macbook pro"],
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/computers-en-software/" }
  ],
  "maxPages": 30,
  "maxResults": 2000
}

Field	Type	Description
queries	array	Search keywords, e.g. iphone, fiets, bank. Each keyword becomes its own paginated source.
query	string	A single alternative keyword; combined with the queries list.
startUrls	array	Direct Marktplaats category or search URLs (e.g. https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/auto-s/). Pagination is handled automatically.
maxPages	integer	Max pages per source (Marktplaats returns 30 listings per page). Scraping stops early when results run out. Default 5.
maxResults	integer	Total cap across all sources. 0 = no limit. Default 0.
includePromoted	boolean	Include sponsored / priority listings in the results. Default true.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings. A Netherlands/EU residential proxy is recommended for large runs.

Finding a category URL: browse marktplaats.nl, open the category or apply your filters, and copy the URL from the address bar (e.g. https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/auto-s/ for cars, https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/fietsen-en-brommers/ for bikes). Filters in the URL are respected; the Actor appends the /p/N/ page segment for you.

Additional input fields

These optional fields are also available in the input form and API:

Field	Type	Default	Description
sort	string	""	Order of the returned listings.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape Marktplaats.nl? The Actor only collects publicly available listing data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with Marktplaats' terms of service and applicable laws such as GDPR.

Does Marktplaats have a public API? Marktplaats does not offer an open public listings API. This Actor reads the site's own embedded __NEXT_DATA__ JSON instead, giving you structured Dutch classifieds data without any API key.

Is this a Marktplaats API alternative? Yes. Since Marktplaats has no open listings API, this Actor works as an unofficial Marktplaats API alternative — it reads the embedded JSON and returns clean, structured advertentie records you can pull via the Apify API.

Can I scrape Marktplaats without an API or login? Yes. No Marktplaats account, login or API key is required — only an Apify account. The Actor pulls publicly available listings over direct HTTP.

How do I export Marktplaats data to CSV or JSON? Run a keyword or category search, then export the resulting dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML from the Apify console or via the Apify API. Every advertentie comes back as one clean, flat record.

How much data can I scrape? Marktplaats categories hold hundreds of thousands of advertenties — raise Max pages per source to go deep, and combine multiple keywords and category URLs in a single run. Pagination stops automatically at the last available page and results are de-duplicated by item ID.

Keyword or category — which should I use? Use keywords for specific products and category URLs to sweep an entire section (cars, bikes, furniture…). You can combine both in one run.

Does the price always appear? Fixed-price listings return a price in priceEur. Auction / bidding / on-request ads are flagged via priceType (their priceEur may be null), so you can keep only FIXED listings when you export.

Can I scrape Marktplaats car listings without an API? Yes. Point a category URL like /l/auto-s/ at the Actor (no API needed) and it captures car ads with price, location, seller and per-vehicle attributes such as construction year, mileage and fuel type.

Do I need a proxy? No login or API key is needed. For large runs, a Netherlands/EU residential Apify Proxy is recommended for stability.

Marktplaats scraping — frequently asked questions

Do I need a Marktplaats API key, account or login?

No. This Actor reads publicly available pages and feeds, so there is nothing to register for and no credentials to manage.

How do I export Marktplaats data to CSV, Excel, JSON or Google Sheets?

Open the Storage tab after a run and pick the format you want — CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or an HTML table. For Google Sheets, Airtable or a database, use the dataset URL or the Apify API so the sheet refreshes itself on every run.

Can I schedule this Marktplaats scraper to run daily or hourly?

Yes. Use the Schedules tab and pick a cadence. Daily is enough for most tracking work; pick hourly only if the rows you care about really do change that fast.

How many rows can I get, and what does it cost?

See the volume section above for a measured figure. Billing is per result, so you pay for the rows you actually receive and a run that finds nothing costs nothing.

Is scraping Marktplaats legal?

This Actor collects only information that Marktplaats publishes publicly. It does not log in, does not defeat access controls and does not touch private data. You remain responsible for how you use the output, including under GDPR and similar rules where personal data is involved.

What happens if Marktplaats blocks the run or changes its layout?

A refused exit IP is swapped for a fresh one within a quarter of a second and retried, and rate limiting is waited out rather than fought. If nothing gets through, the run fails with the reason instead of reporting success with zero rows — so an empty result always means "no matches", never "the source would not answer".

Can I use this with an AI agent, LangChain or an MCP client?

Yes. The Actor is callable over the Apify API and through Apify's MCP server, so an agent can run it and read the dataset back as a tool call.

2026-10-15

• A run that reaches its maximum cost per run now stops cleanly with its results saved and a status message, instead of ending as aborted.
• A proxy group your account cannot use no longer stops the run at start-up; it falls back to the default Apify Proxy.
• Runs with a short timeout (API and AI-agent calls) now finish inside it with what they collected, instead of being cut off.
• Memory is managed within the run's own limit, which removes a rare out-of-memory crash on large pages.
• The default used when the field is left out for maxResults is now 4,000 (was 500).
• The default used when the field is left out for maxPages is now 60 (was 10).

• Fixed the run Output link from {{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}} to {{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}/items so the results table opens the dataset items endpoint.

2026-08-01 — Health-check remediation

• August 2026 monthly health-check remediation is in progress; this build contains fixes verified from empty/default, Console-default, targeted live probes, or field-level semantic review.
