They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![Tradera Scraper hero](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/tradera-scraper--hero.png) ### What does Tradera Scraper do? **Tradera Scraper** extracts listing and item data from [Tradera.com](https://www.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`. ### What data does it extract? ![Tradera Scraper dataset output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/tradera-scraper--output.png) ![Tradera Scraper data fields](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/tradera-scraper--fields.png) | Field | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `itemId` | Tradera's numeric item ID | | `title` | Listing title | | `url` | Canonical item URL | | `category` / `categoryId` / `categoryPath` | Category name, ID, and full breadcrumb (detail rows) | | `itemType` | `auction`, `buy_now`, `auction_with_buy_now`, `shop_item`, `contact_seller` | | `description` | Full item description (detail rows) | | `condition` | Item condition as shown on Tradera (e.g. `Begagnad`, `Ny`, `Gott skick`) | | `price` | Current bid, or buy-now price for fixed-price listings (SEK) | | `openingBid` / `buyNowPrice` / `nextValidBidAmount` | Auction price points (SEK) | | `currency` | Always `SEK` | | `bidCount` | Number of bids placed | | `reservePriceReached` | Whether the reserve price has been met | | `startDate` / `endDate` / `secondsLeft` | Auction start, end, and time remaining | | `isActive` / `hasEnded` / `quantity` / `visits` | Listing status and view count (detail rows) | | `sellerAlias` / `sellerId` / `sellerRating` | Seller username, ID, and net feedback score | | `sellerIsCompany` / `sellerIsVerified` / `sellerHasShop` | Seller flags | | `location` / `sellerCountry` | Seller city and ISO-2 country code | | `hasFreeShipping` / `shippingCost` / `shippingOptions` | Cheapest shipping cost and all carrier options | | `paymentOptions` | Accepted payment methods (detail rows) | | `attributes` | Category-specific attributes (format, brand, size, ...) | | `image` / `images` | Primary image URL and all image URLs | | `status` | `success` or `error` | ### How to use Tradera Scraper ![How Tradera Scraper works](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/tradera-scraper--how-it-works.png) 1. [Sign up](https://apify.com/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. Item-detail row example (trimmed): ```json { "_type": "item", "itemId": 747279881, "title": "Omega klocka", "url": "https://www.tradera.com/item/1000984/747279881/omega-klocka", "category": "Armbandsur", "categoryPath": ["Klockor", "Armbandsur"], "itemType": "auction", "description": "Omega klocka med svart läderband ...", "condition": "Gott skick", "price": 1000, "openingBid": 1000, "buyNowPrice": null, "nextValidBidAmount": 1040, "currency": "SEK", "bidCount": 1, "reservePriceReached": false, "startDate": "2026-08-27T15:04:59Z", "endDate": "2026-09-10T15:04:59Z", "secondsLeft": 673210, "isActive": true, "hasEnded": false, "quantity": 1, "visits": 128, "sellerAlias": "Shopparen123", "sellerId": 4943303, "sellerRating": 14, "sellerIsCompany": false, "sellerIsVerified": true, "location": "Tungelsta", "sellerCountry": "SE", "shippingCost": 49, "shippingOptions": [{ "provider": "PostNordParcel", "cost": 49 }], "paymentOptions": ["SwishHandel", "VisaMasterCard", "Klarna"], "attributes": [{ "name": "watch_brand", "label": "Märke", "values": ["Omega"] }], "image": "https://img.tradera.net/images/975/657537975_...jpg", "images": ["https://img.tradera.net/images/975/657537975_...jpg"], "status": "success" } ``` Listing row example (trimmed): ```json { "_type": "listing", "itemId": 743768550, "title": "Michael Jackson Vinyl", "url": "https://www.tradera.com/item/210830/743768550/michael-jackson-vinyl", "itemType": "buy_now", "price": 222, "buyNowPrice": 222, "currency": "SEK", "bidCount": 0, "endDate": "2026-10-04T10:34:40Z", "condition": "Oanvänt", "sellerAlias": "gittevk", "sellerCountry": "DK", "shippingCost": 50, "image": "https://img.tradera.net/images/130/654809130_...jpg", "status": "success" } ``` ### 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. ### Integrations Connect this Actor to Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, or your own backend via the Apify API and webhooks. Every run's dataset is available as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS through the Apify API. ### Export formats JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table, and RSS - from the Apify Console or the `dataset/items` API endpoint. ### 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](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/) and Apify's personal-data policy. ### Support Found a bug or need a field added?

"Search / category listings" crawls results pages; "Item details" looks up specific item pages by URL. ## `search` (type: `string`): A keyword to search Tradera for, e.g. "iphone" or "vinyl". Used by the search operation. Leave blank to use Start URLs (or the whole marketplace feed if those are empty too). ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Tradera search or category results pages to scrape, e.g. https://www.tradera.com/search?q=vinyl or https://www.tradera.com/category/1612 . Used by the search operation. ## `itemUrls` (type: `array`): Tradera item page URLs (e.g. https://www.tradera.com/item/340186/747708212/iphone-13). Used by the item details operation. Leave blank to pull current items from the marketplace feed instead. ## `scrapeItemDetails` (type: `boolean`): Search operation only. When on, each listing is opened to also collect description, seller rating, location, condition detail, and all images. When off, only the (faster, lighter) listing-card fields are returned. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum items to scrape per start URL (paginates automatically until it hits this). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Apify Proxy (datacenter) is enough for Tradera. ## Actor input object example ```json { "operation": "search", "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.tradera.com/search" } ], "scrapeItemDetails": true, "maxItems": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
