Tradera Scraper

What does Tradera Scraper do?

Tradera Scraper extracts listing and item data from Tradera.com - Sweden's largest online auction and second-hand marketplace - anonymously, no login, no Tradera account, no API key. Two operations live in one Actor:

• Search / category listings - crawl any Tradera search or category results page and get one structured row per listing, paginating automatically.
• Item details - look up one or many item pages by URL and get the full record: description, all photos, seller rating, location, shipping options, payment methods, and live bid state.

It returns titles, current bid / buy-now prices in SEK, bid counts, auction end times, item condition, seller name and rating, location, shipping cost, and image URLs.

Why use this Actor?

• Price and auction monitoring - schedule a run on a cron and diff consecutive datasets to track bids, price changes, and which lots have ended.
• Market and resale research - measure what comparable second-hand items sell for, by category or keyword, with condition and bid history attached.
• Sourcing and inventory - pull fresh listings for the categories you buy in, filtered exactly the way Tradera's own search filters them.
• Batch, one start fee - pass a list of search URLs or item URLs and one run covers all of them.

What makes this Actor different?

• Reads Tradera's own server-rendered data - fields come straight from the structured payload the page ships with, so prices, bid counts, and end times match what a visitor sees, with no brittle guesswork.
• Two modes, one Actor - lightweight listing rows when you just need price and bids, or full item pages when you need description, seller rating, and every photo. A search run can do both in one pass.
• Auction-aware - distinguishes pure auctions, buy-now, and auction-with-buy-now, and reports opening bid, current bid, next valid bid, and reserve-price status.
• Honest nulls - a missing field is null, never a fabricated value. A price of 0 (contact-only listings) is reported as null.

How to use Tradera Scraper

1. Sign up for a free Apify account.
2. Open this Actor and click Try for free (or Start).
3. Pick an Operation:
   • Search / category listings → set a Search keyword (e.g. vinyl) or paste one or more Start URLs (Tradera search or category pages). Leave both blank to scrape the whole marketplace feed.
   • Item details → paste Item URLs (one per line). Leave blank to pull current items from the marketplace feed instead.
4. Set Max items per start URL (default 5) and leave Proxy configuration on.
5. Click Start, then export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API.

A search run paginates through each start URL until it hits maxItems, runs out of results, or reaches Tradera's last page - whichever comes first. When Fetch full item detail pages is on (the default), each listing is opened for its description, seller rating, location, and all photos; turn it off for faster, lighter listing-card rows only.

Input parameters

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
operation	string	Yes	search	search (search / category listings) or itemDetails (item pages by URL).
search	string	No	-	Keyword to search Tradera for. Used by search.
startUrls	array	No	https://www.tradera.com/search	Tradera search or category results pages. Used by search. This is also how you apply category/filter/sort - there is no separate filter input.
itemUrls	array	No	-	Tradera item page URLs. Used by itemDetails. Leave blank to detail current marketplace items.
scrapeItemDetails	boolean	No	true	search only. On: open each listing for full detail. Off: listing-card fields only.
maxItems	integer	No	5	Maximum items to scrape per start URL. Paginates automatically until reached.
proxyConfiguration	object	Yes	{ "useApifyProxy": true }	Proxy settings. Apify Proxy (datacenter) is sufficient for Tradera.

Output data

One flat row per item. Search rows carry listing-card fields; item-detail rows carry the full page. Every row has _type (listing or item) and status (success or error) so you can split or filter a mixed export.

Usage examples

• Track a keyword - Operation search, Search iittala, maxItems 50. Schedule daily; diff price / bidCount per itemId.
• Scrape a category - Operation search, Start URL https://www.tradera.com/category/302352 (or any filtered/sorted category URL copied from your browser).
• Watch specific lots - Operation itemDetails, Item URLs = the auctions you're bidding on; run every hour near close.
• Fast price sweep - Operation search, scrapeItemDetails off - listing-card fields only, one request per results page.

Tips

• Copy a Tradera URL straight from your browser after applying filters and sorting - every filter, category, and sort order rides in the URL and is respected as-is.
• maxItems is per start URL, so ten start URLs with maxItems 20 can return up to 200 rows.
• Turn scrapeItemDetails off when you only need price, bids, and end time - it is far faster and cheaper.
• secondsLeft is captured at scrape time; combine it with endDate for an absolute deadline.

Known limitations

• Only data Tradera serves to a logged-out visitor is available. A seller's full percentage rating and individual feedback comments load behind a separate authenticated call and are not included; sellerRating is the net feedback score.
• Ended or removed listings return a status: "error" row.
• description and attributes labels are in Swedish, as Tradera publishes them.
• Tradera's page structure can change over time; extraction targets the stable server-rendered payload but a major redesign may require an update.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: one small run-start charge, then a per-row charge for each result - a lower rate for listing-card rows and a slightly higher rate for full item-detail rows. See the Pricing tab for current rates. status: "error" rows are not charged. maxItems bounds spend per run.

FAQ

Does Tradera have a public API? Tradera has a legacy SOAP API that requires an approved developer key and application. This Actor needs no key and works against Tradera's public web pages.

Do I need a Tradera account? No - it runs entirely against public, logged-out pages.

Can I scrape a specific category or apply filters? Yes - filter and sort on Tradera itself, then paste the resulting URL as a start URL. There is no separate filter input by design.

A run returned 0 results with no error - why? A very narrow keyword or filter combination can legitimately return nothing. Check the URL in a browser.

Personal data and GDPR

Tradera listings include personal data - seller usernames (sellerAlias), seller IDs, city (location), and feedback scores. Under the GDPR and similar laws you need a lawful basis to collect and process personal data. Collecting it for use in scam, spam, or harassment, or in any way the data subjects would not reasonably expect, is not permitted. Only scrape what you have a legitimate need for, store it no longer than necessary, and honour data-subject requests. If you are unsure whether your use case is compliant, consult a lawyer. See the Apify blog on ethical web scraping and Apify's personal-data policy.
