Kleinanzeigen Scraper

Kleinanzeigen Scraper collects German classified listings from kleinanzeigen.de, formerly eBay Kleinanzeigen, by keyword, category or a search URL copied from the website. Each listing becomes a structured dataset row with a stable ad id, title, URL, EUR price, location and available search-card metadata. No account or login is needed.

Use it to compare asking prices, find second-hand offers, collect local inventory or track a narrowly defined search over time. The actor returns the results the search page carries. It includes different models, accessories and other matches the site considers relevant, so you can apply your own criteria after downloading the dataset. Developers can call the actor through the Apify API and use it as a Kleinanzeigen API for search results, with JSON, CSV or Excel output.

Input for Kleinanzeigen Scraper

Set query to the keyword you would enter on the website, such as iphone 13, or paste a search URL into url. A pasted URL preserves the website filters already encoded in that address and takes precedence over query and the separate search filters. You can also supply category_id without a keyword to collect a category. The category id 173 selects Handy & Telekom.

max_items sets the maximum number of unique listings to return. Its default is 100, and its supported range is 1 to 1,250. The actor follows search pages and removes duplicates by listing_id. Promoted TOP ads can appear on several pages, but the same ad is delivered once. Set include_top_ads to false to exclude those promoted ads.

For a keyword search, location accepts a German town name or postcode. radius_km controls the area around that location, using the distances supported by the website: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 150 or 200 kilometres. A radius of zero selects the location itself. An unrecognised location produces an input error rather than a nationwide search with different results.

price_min and price_max filter asking prices in whole euros. Both accept zero. seller_type can be all, private or commercial. ad_type can be offers for sale listings or wanted for buyer requests. sort accepts relevance, newest and price_asc; relevance and newest use the website default, while price_asc requests ascending asking prices.

Output

The default dataset contains one row per unique advert. Core fields include listing_id, title, url, price, currency, image_url, location, position, country, source and fetched_at. All results use EUR and country DE. The id stays text so it can be used consistently in exports and compared across runs.

The numeric price is null when the card does not state a positive amount. This includes an unspecified negotiable price and giveaway listings. Read price_text and price_type alongside it: fixed, negotiable, free and none distinguish the wording that appears on the listing. Do not interpret a null amount as a zero-euro offer. original_price, when present, records the previous asking price exposed by the source.

Additional fields include the description teaser, postcode, city, original German date label, calendar date, image URLs and image count. Seller fields identify private or commercial sellers, the public seller id and an available store URL and name. Flags indicate promoted ads, highlighted ads, direct purchase, shipping availability and buyer requests. The description is the search preview, which can be shortened by the website; it is not a promise of the complete advert text.

Dates written as Heute and Gestern are interpreted in the German calendar at collection time. fetched_at records UTC retrieval time. If optional listing metadata is unavailable, the affected extras are null and the run reports a warning. The original title, price, URL and other card values are preserved.

Use cases for a Kleinanzeigen scraper

• Resellers and refurbishers collect asking prices for a model across Germany, then separate negotiable (VB) prices, fixed prices and giveaways before they decide what to buy.
• Price research compares regions by postcode and city, or follows a price-sorted search to see where the cheapest offers for a product start.
• Local inventory monitoring repeats the same search URL on a schedule and joins runs on listing_id to spot new ads and price reductions through original_price.
• Lead lists for B2B filter commercial sellers with a public store and collect the store name and URL that the listing exposes.
• Market and academic analysis samples categories such as Handy & Telekom and measures how many ads offer shipping or direct purchase.

Kleinanzeigen Scraper compared with other options

Kleinanzeigen does not offer a public search API for buyers or analysts. Its own interfaces are for professional sellers who import their adverts. That leaves four common routes:

option	what you get	effort
Copying ads by hand	a few ads at a time	high and error-prone
Open-source scripts on GitHub	raw parsing code	you run, fix and maintain it yourself
General scraping services	page HTML or a generic template	you still map fields and pagination
This actor	one clean row per unique ad, numeric price plus price wording, seller type, shipping flags, pagination up to 1,250 ads	a keyword or a pasted URL

Several other Kleinanzeigen actors exist in the Apify Store. This actor focuses on search results: it keeps the price wording next to the numeric amount, so a VB price or a giveaway is never mistaken for a fixed or zero-euro offer, it removes duplicate promoted ads across pages, and it charges per delivered unique listing.

Limits and continuation

Kleinanzeigen exposes at most 50 result pages for a single search, with 25 organic ads per page. Its total result count can exceed the number you can actually collect. For wider coverage, split searches by category, area or asking price rather than requesting more than 1,250 rows from one search.

The actor continues collection automatically when a run needs several pieces. If a source page fails after earlier pages succeeded, those earlier listings remain available and the run describes incomplete collection. A first-page failure returns a readable error. A search with no genuine matches returns no listing rows; unrelated recommendations do not become paid results.

The run summary in the default key-value store reports delivered listings, fetched pages and the website result count. The OUTPUT record contains status, warnings and the event counts charged by the actor. Download dataset rows as JSON, CSV or Excel using Apify's dataset export options.

Pricing

The initial price is $0.0015 per delivered listing plus $0.0005 per run start. Duplicate ads do not create additional listing charges. An empty search has no listing charge and retains the run-start fee. Consult the actor's current pricing panel before starting a run.

Users without a paid Apify plan receive at most ten rows per run. The summary reports free_tier_remaining, which is zero after all ten free rows were delivered. Paying users can request the supported full volume; their remaining-free counter is -1.

FAQ

Is there an official Kleinanzeigen API?

Not for searching listings. The interfaces Kleinanzeigen documents are for commercial sellers who upload their own adverts. This actor gives you the search results as structured data and can be started from any language through the Apify API, which makes it a practical Kleinanzeigen API for search data.

Can I export Kleinanzeigen listings to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Every run stores the listings in an Apify dataset, which you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or fetch page by page through the API.

Does it still work for eBay Kleinanzeigen links?

Kleinanzeigen is the new name of eBay Kleinanzeigen. Paste a current kleinanzeigen.de search address into url; searches by keyword or category need no URL at all.

Can I paste a search URL with more filters?

Yes. The actor retains the filters encoded in the pasted search address. The volume limit and promoted-ad option still apply. Use a search URL, not an individual advert.

Does the dataset contain full advert details and phone numbers?

This version collects fields available on search cards. Full descriptions, contact details, view counts and detailed condition attributes are outside this version.

Why did I receive fewer results than max_items?

The query may have fewer unique ads, the search may have reached its 50-page limit, or the run may report incomplete collection. Removing promoted ads can also reduce the total. Check the summary and warnings before treating the dataset as complete.

Can I compare average prices directly?

Filter buyer requests, accessories and unspecified prices according to your use case. Asking prices describe listings, not completed sales. Use listing ids to join successive runs and inspect changes without counting the same advert twice.
