🆚 How this compares

vs. HTML scrapers — Tools that parse the rendered page break whenever Marktplaats tweaks its layout and often miss item attributes. This Actor reads Marktplaats' own embedded JSON, so it captures complete, structured data reliably.

vs. manual browsing — You can't track hundreds of thousands of listings and their price changes by hand. This Actor sweeps entire categories and re-runs on a schedule.

vs. generic marketplace scrapers — This Actor is tuned specifically to Marktplaats' data model (price types, locations, seller info, and per-category attributes), so the output is richer and cleaner than a one-size-fits-all tool.

❓ FAQ

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.

How many Marktplaats listings can I scrape?

Marktplaats categories hold hundreds of thousands of advertenties — raise Max pages to go deep. Pagination stops automatically at the last available page.

Does the price always appear?

Fixed-price listings show a price. Auction / "bidding" / "on request" listings are marked via priceType (their priceEur may be 0 or the minimum bid), so you can filter them out if you only want fixed prices.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes — schedule daily or weekly runs to track new listings and price movements over time.

Do I need a login or proxy?

No login or API key is needed. For large runs, a Netherlands/EU residential proxy is recommended for stability.

Is this a Marktplaats API alternative?

Yes. Marktplaats has no public listings API, so this Actor works as a no-login API alternative — it reads the site's own embedded JSON and returns structured listing data you can pull via the Apify API.

How do I export Marktplaats data to CSV or JSON?

Run a keyword or category search, then download the dataset as CSV, Excel, or JSON from the run — or fetch it through the Apify API. Every advertentie comes back as a clean, flat record.

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.
