mobile.de Dealer Scraper

mobile.de Dealer Scraper extracts the public dealer directory of mobile.de, Germany's largest car marketplace: dealer ID, name, full address, dealer description and the link to each dealer's mobile.de homepage. Pick one or more German states, or crawl all 16, and get a clean, de-duplicated dataset in JSON, CSV or Excel using plain HTTP: no browser, no proxy.

This Actor returns dealers only. For the vehicles themselves use Mobile.de Scraper and join both datasets on the dealer homepage.

What data you get with mobile.de Dealer Scraper

mobile.de Dealer Scraper reads the same regional directory (home.mobile.de/regional) that any visitor can browse, page by page, and returns one flat record per unique dealer. Fields the source does not provide are null; the directory does not publish phone numbers or e-mail addresses, so they are not returned.

Field	Type	Description
dealerId	s or t or r or i or n or g	mobile.de customer ID of the dealer (unique per item).
name	string (nullable)	Dealer name as listed in the directory.
street	string (nullable)	Street and number. Null if not listed.
zipcode	string (nullable)	German postal code. Null if not listed.
city	string (nullable)	City of the dealer location.
state	s or t or r or i or n or g	State slug the dealer was found under in the mobile.de regional directory (the postal address can be in a neighbouring state).

homepageUrl	string (nullable)	URL of the dealer's mobile.de homepage.
homepageMasked	boolean (nullable)	Flag from the source: true when the dealer hides the homepage link. Rows are kept either way.
homepageOmitted	boolean (nullable)	Flag from the source: true when no homepage is published.

Input example

The prefilled input of mobile.de Dealer Scraper (a cheap first run):

{
  "states": [
    "bremen"
  ],
  "maxDealers": 20
}

Parameter	Type	Default	Prefill	Description
states	array	—	['bremen']	Select one or more states (Bundesländer). Leave empty to crawl all 16 states. Bremen is the smallest (about 130 dealers) and a good first test.
maxDealers	integer	100	20	Maximum number of dealers to return in total. You are charged per dealer ($0.002 each), so use a low value for a first test, for example 20. Set 0 for no limit (about 29,000 unique dealers for all 16 states, roughly $58).
requestDelayMin	integer	500	—	Minimum pause between two page requests.
requestDelayMax	integer	1000	—	Maximum pause between two page requests (random jitter between min and max).
maxConcurrency	integer	1	—	Parallel requests. Keep it low (1-3) to stay polite with the source.
proxyConfiguration	object	—	—	No proxy is needed: the dealer directory works from standard datacenter IPs and no residential traffic is billed. Only select Apify Proxy if you see repeated HTTP 403 errors.

Output example

A real record returned by mobile.de Dealer Scraper:

{
  "dealerId": "462887",
  "name": "Autocenter Gehrmann GmbH",
  "street": "Weimarische Strasse 1b",
  "zipcode": "07407",
  "city": "Rudolstadt",
  "state": "thüringen",
  "description": "Gebrauchtwagenhändler",
  "homepageUrl": "https://home.mobile.de/AUTOCENTER-GEHRMANN",
  "homepageMasked": false,
  "homepageOmitted": false,
  "sourceCountry": "DE",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-24T20:20:16.900Z"
}

A SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists, for every state, the dealer count reported by mobile.de (sourceResultCount), the pages fetched and the dealers returned (pushed).

Pricing

mobile.de Dealer Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.005 per run start plus $0.002 per dealer ($2.00 per 1,000). You only pay for unique dealers delivered to the dataset, after de-duplication.

Run	Cost in events
20 dealers (prefill)	$0.045
100 dealers (default run)	$0.205
1,000 dealers	$2.005
All of Germany (about 29,000 dealers)	about $58

No proxy is used, so there is no extra proxy cost; platform compute for a 1,000-dealer run is well below one cent.

Limitations

• The mobile.de counter overstates the list by about 5 to 22 %. The total shown for a state is higher than the dealers its paginated list actually returns: Berlin 751 shown vs 716 returned, Thüringen 727 vs 692, Bremen 162 vs 127. The Actor returns what the directory lists and reports both numbers in SUMMARY; the 16 state counters add up to 31,535, while we estimate about 29,000 unique dealers (a full 16-state crawl was not run in our tests).
• About half of the dealers have no description (null): 496 of 1,000 in our test.
• Dealers are grouped by the directory region they appear in; the postal address can be in a neighbouring state.
• homepageMasked and homepageOmitted are source flags; rows are kept either way.
• Data is a point-in-time snapshot of a public directory. Transient HTTP 403 responses are retried up to 5 times; pages that still fail are counted in SUMMARY.pagesFailed.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape mobile.de dealers? mobile.de Dealer Scraper reads public directory pages that are not excluded in the robots.txt of home.mobile.de, and returns business listings. You are responsible for using the data in line with the website terms and with GDPR/UWG. Some dealers are sole traders whose name is a person's name; the Actor does not filter them, so apply your own compliance rules.

Does mobile.de Dealer Scraper need a proxy? No. It works from standard Apify datacenter IPs and no residential traffic is billed. If you get repeated 403 errors, lower concurrency or raise the delays.

How often should I run mobile.de Dealer Scraper? The directory changes slowly. A monthly run is enough to track new and closed dealers; use maxDealers and the state filter to keep each run small.

Can I get phone numbers, e-mails or the dealer's cars? Not with this Actor: the directory does not publish contact data. For vehicle listings use Mobile.de Scraper.

A page failed, what now? Failed pages are retried 5 times and counted in SUMMARY.pagesFailed. Re-run the affected state.
