Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## 🇱🇻 SS.com Scraper - Latvia Classifieds (Cars, Flats, Jobs)

Extract ads from **SS.com**, Latvia's biggest classifieds site: cars, flats, houses, land, vacancies, motorbikes, pets, electronics and the other **98 sections**. For each ad you get the **title, category, deal type (sell, rent out, buy...), price in EUR, the main photo and every list column as typed fields**: make, model, year, engine size, fuel and km for cars; street, rooms, m², floor, building series and price per m² for flats; land area for houses. Turn on **Details** to also get the **full description, every spec line (gearbox, body, color, inspection, house type, cadastral number...), car equipment, GPS position, the seller's place and company, the posting time and every photo**. It collects **1,000 ads in about 6 seconds**, or about 20 seconds with Details, and can run on a schedule to send you **only new ads**.

> 👉 **Try it now:** press **Start**. The ready-made input gives you 10 ads in a few seconds.<br>
> 💰 **$0.015 per ad** on the Free plan (10 ads per run), from $0.0135 on paid plans. [See pricing](#-pricing)

### ✨ Why this scraper?

> - **Fast**<br>
>   1,000 ads in about 6 seconds without Details, about 20 seconds with them.
>
> - **Typed fields**<br>
>   Each list column becomes its own field (`brand`, `year`, `mileageKm`, `rooms`, `areaM2`, `floor`, `floors`, `pricePerM2`...), and the full list is also kept in `listAttributes`.
>
> - **Exact numbers**<br>
>   With Details, km is the exact number from the ad (the list rounds it to thousands), and engine size, fuel and floors are split out.
>
> - **In English**<br>
>   Labels, deal types and categories in English, whatever language your link is in. The seller's own text stays as written.
>
> - **Nothing to set up**<br>
>   No proxy, no login.
>
> - **The whole site**<br>
>   All 98 sections, read whole or only the subcategories you name: a make ("BMW"), a model ("BMW > X5"), a city or district ("Riga > Centre"), a breed or a job.
>
> - **Apify platform**<br>
>   Schedule runs, get only new ads, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

### ❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

#### Is there a SS.com API? Do I need an API key?

> SS.com has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a SS.com API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP:
> `claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/ss-com-scraper"`

#### Why do I get only 10 ads?

> On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

#### Which sections are there?

> All 98: cars, motorbikes, trucks, spare parts, flats, houses, land, premises, vacancies, services, electronics, clothes, furniture, pets, farming and more.

#### Are prices in euros?

> Yes. `price` is a number in EUR and `priceText` is the price as the site shows it (like "450 €/mon." for rent).

#### Is the data in English?

> Labels, categories and deal types are. The seller's title and description stay in Latvian or Russian, as written.

#### Few or no results

> Use the names shown on ss.com for subcategories ("BMW > X5", "Riga > Centre"); the log says which names were not found. Loosen a filter if nothing matches.

#### A narrow filter is slow

> Price, year, km, rooms, area and photo are checked on each ad, so a narrow filter may read many pages for few matches.

#### Is this an official SS.com tool?

> No. It is independent and not affiliated with SS.com. It reads only data SS.com publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with SS.com's terms and the laws that apply to you.
