Blocket Sweden Classifieds Scraper

Scrape classified ads from Blocket.se by keyword, up to a million listings per run. Every ad returns its title, price, location, category, and direct URL. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Blocket is Sweden's largest marketplace for used cars, furniture, electronics, and jobs, but browsing manually means refreshing pages and copying data by hand. This Actor searches the public listing feed by any keyword and returns each matching ad in a clean, flat row. You get the data you need without writing a single line of code.

Market researchersTrack supply volume and average prices for consumer goods in different regions.
Job seekersCollect new job listings matching a skill or city as soon as they appear.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your spelling. Try a broader term, or leave the search field empty to confirm the Actor is working with the newest nationwide listings.

The run stopped before reaching my max items.

Blocket only shows a limited number of pages for any search. When the Actor reaches the last page of results, it stops gracefully. Try a more specific search term to get deeper into a niche.

Some fields are empty in my dataset.

Not every seller fills in every field. Empty cells mean the information was not present on the ad page.

I got blocked or the run failed.

The Actor uses Apify's proxy rotation to avoid blocks. If you are on a free plan, try again later or upgrade to a paid plan for more reliable proxy access.

Can I search in Swedish?

Yes. Use Swedish terms like 'bil', 'lΓ€genhet', or 'barnklΓ€der' for the most accurate results, since Blocket listings are primarily in Swedish.
