Pricing / Cost estimation

How much does it cost to scrape Marktplaats listings? Pricing depends on your Apify plan's compute unit rate and how many listings you request. Each page of results is a single fast request.

Tips for better runs

• Set Make for a focused pull instead of scraping the entire cars category.
• Keep Max items/Max pages modest for daily monitoring runs to control cost and run time.
• Use the Apify Schedule feature to re-run this Actor periodically and track new listings over time.

FAQ

Is this legal? This Actor only collects publicly visible listing data. You are responsible for using the data in accordance with Marktplaats.nl's Terms of Service and any applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

Why does make sometimes show a category name instead of a brand? Marktplaats doesn't expose "make" as its own data field - this Actor reads it from the listing's own URL path, which normally is the brand (e.g. /v/auto-s/bmw/...). Vans, campers, and trucks are occasionally filed under a sub-category slug there instead (e.g. bestelauto-s for vans), so those specific listings will show that sub-category name in make rather than the actual brand.

Why did some fields come back empty? Not every listing includes every field (e.g. some sellers omit transmission or body type). The Actor returns null for anything that isn't available for a given car.
