## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

### 💰 How much does it cost to scrape Marktplaats?

This Actor uses the **pay-per-result** (pay-per-event) pricing model — you pay only for the data you receive:

| Event | Price | When it's charged |
|---|---|---|
| Listing scraped | **$1 / 1,000 listings** | For each listing in the default (listing-only) mode |
| Listing detail scraped | **$3 / 1,000 listings** | For each fully enriched listing when **Scrape listing details** is on |

There is **no fixed per-run fee**. Scraping 1,000 listings costs about **$1**, or **$3** with full details. New Apify accounts include free monthly usage credits, so you can start testing at no cost.

### ⚙️ Tips & advanced options

- **Narrow with the URL.** Marktplaats returns up to ~5,000 results per search. Use a sub-category and on-page filters in your start URL to slice large categories into focused runs.
- **Start small.** Keep `scrapeDetails` off for cheap, fast price/inventory snapshots; enable it only when you need the full gallery, stats, seller profile, or shipping info.
- **Combine URLs.** Add several search or category URLs in one run to build a broad dataset in a single pass.
- **Schedule it.** Use Apify Schedules to refresh your dataset daily or hourly for ongoing price monitoring.

### ❓ FAQ

**Is scraping Marktplaats legal?**
This Actor collects only publicly available information. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Marktplaats' Terms of Service, applicable laws, and data-protection regulations (e.g. GDPR). It does not collect private contact details such as phone numbers.

**Do I need proxies?**
The default Apify proxy works well for this target and is enabled out of the box. You can adjust proxy settings in the input.

**Why are some fields empty?**
Listings vary by category, so not every field (e.g. coordinates, attributes, or shipping) is present on every ad.

**Can I get more than 5,000 results?**
Marktplaats limits a single search or category to ~5,000 listings. Split your target into multiple, more specific start URLs to go beyond that.

### 🛟 Support

Found a bug or need an extra field or category supported? Open an issue from the Actor's **Issues** tab — feedback and feature requests are welcome. Custom scraping solutions are also available on request.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Marktplaats search or category URLs to scrape, e.g. https://www.marktplaats.nl/q/iphone/ or https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/fietsen-en-brommers/. Paste any search or category page from your browser; the scraper paginates through each one automatically.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listings to scrape across all start URLs. Set to 0 for no limit (note: Marktplaats returns up to ~5,000 listings per search or category).

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, each listing's detail page is visited to extract richer data: the full image gallery, view and favorite counts, full category path, seller profile, shipping options, and bidding info. Slower and more expensive than the listing-only mode.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings used for requests. The default Apify proxy works well for this target.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.marktplaats.nl/q/iphone/"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
