Marktplaats Scraper — NL Classifieds, Prices, Listings & Seller Leads

Extract complete data from Marktplaats.nl — the Netherlands' #1 classifieds marketplace. Search by keyword, category or URL and get every ad with its price and price type, full description, structured attributes, image gallery, exact location, posted date, category and seller — plus deduplicated seller B2B leads and a built-in monitor mode for new-ad and price-drop alerts.

No login, no API key, no browser — fast, reliable extraction straight from Marktplaats's own internal API across cars, electronics, bikes, real estate, jobs, furniture, fashion and every other category.

Why this Marktplaats scraper?

Generic "paste-a-URL" crawlers grab a few visible fields and miss the data that actually matters. This actor reads Marktplaats's public search API and ad pages directly and ships the richest dataset in the category — real prices and price types, every structured attribute (car mileage, bike frame size, phone storage…), the full image gallery, geo-coordinates and the seller behind every ad.

Output

By default you get one clean, dense table of listings — every column applies to every row. Enable seller leads to add deduplicated sellerLead records (tagged with a type field), or use the Listings / Seller leads dataset views.

A listing record (type: "listing"):

{
    "type": "listing",
    "listingId": "m2412150690",
    "title": "Racefiets Cannondale",
    "description": "Cannondale racefiets in prima staat, frame maat 58, Shimano Ultegra 10-speed…",
    "url": "https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/fietsen-en-brommers/fietsen-racefietsen/m2412150690-racefiets-cannondale",
    "price": 300,
    "priceType": "MIN_BID",
    "priceTypeLabel": "Bidding from",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "condition": "Zo goed als nieuw",
    "city": "Enschede",
    "country": "Nederland",
    "latitude": 52.2033,
    "longitude": 6.7998,
    "postedDate": "Vandaag",
    "images": ["https://images.marktplaats.com/api/v1/.../image.jpg"],
    "imageCount": 6,
    "category": "Bicycles Racing Bikes",
    "parentCategory": "Bicycles And Mopeds",
    "attributes": { "condition": "Zo goed als nieuw", "delivery": "Ophalen" },
    "extendedAttributes": { "material": "Aluminium", "frameHeight": "57 tot 61 cm", "numberOfGears": "Meer dan 20 versnellingen" },
    "promoted": true,
    "sellerId": 59814492,
    "sellerName": "Joris",
    "sellerType": "private",
    "sellerVerified": false,
    "viewCount": 142,
    "favoritedCount": 7,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-19T16:39:31.711Z"
}

A seller lead record (type: "sellerLead") carries sellerName, sellerType (private/business), smbVerified, rating, reviewCount, website, activeAds, city, categories, minPrice/maxPrice, sampleListings, sellerUrl and a leadScore (0–100).

What to expect (field coverage)

Marktplaats is seller-entered data, so some fields appear only when the seller filled them in. Typically you can expect:

Field group	Always present	Usually present	Present when published
Core	listingId, title, url, priceType, category, seller, location	price ~85% (fixed-price ads), images ~95%, condition ~80%	province
Attributes	—	category-specific specs (mileage, size, storage…) on cars/bikes/electronics	extended specs
Detail mode	full description, category path	view & favourite counts	bids (bidding ads)
Seller lead	sellerName, sellerType, lead score	reviews & rating (active sellers), business-verified	website (business sellers, with enrichment)

A blank field means the seller didn't publish it — not that scraping failed. Nothing is dropped, so you always get the richest dataset available.

Monitor mode — only new ads & price drops

Turn on monitorMode and the actor remembers every ad it has seen in a named key-value store, then on each later run emits only ads that are new or whose price changed — each tagged with a changeType of new, price_drop or price_rise.

It's built to complement Apify Schedules, not collide with them: the schedule decides when the run starts; monitor mode decides what's worth returning. Schedule it hourly/daily on a keyword and pipe the output to Slack or email to get first-mover alerts on new listings and price drops. Use a different monitorKey per feed to track several searches independently.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it daily/hourly to catch new ads and price drops with monitor mode.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/marktplaats-scraper').call({
    searchQueries: ['iphone 15'],
    maxItems: 100,
    includeSellerLeads: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new ads or seller leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored search adds a listing or a price drops.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find every business seller listing iPhones under €400 within 25 km of Amsterdam" and let it run the scraper for you.

Tips

• Start broad, then filter. Run a keyword first, then add minPrice/maxPrice, condition, sellerType or a postcode + distanceKm radius to focus the feed.
• Seller leads: turn on includeSellerLeads (and enrichSellerContacts for websites) to turn a search into a list of dealers/businesses with reviews, ratings and a 0–100 lead score.
• Detail mode is opt-in. Search cards are already rich; enable includeListingDetails only when you need the full description, view/favourite counts or every attribute — it adds one request per ad.
• Recurring monitoring: combine Schedules with monitorMode and a unique monitorKey per search for new-ad and price-drop alerts.

FAQ

How do I scrape a specific category? Pass a categoryId (found in any category URL), or simply paste a category browse URL (/l/…) into Start URLs. You can combine a category with a keyword.

Does it need the Marktplaats API or a key? No. This actor reads Marktplaats's own public search API and ad pages — no key, login or browser required.

Can I filter by location? Yes — set a Dutch postcode and a distanceKm radius to only return ads within that area.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

How do I get alerts for new ads or price drops? Enable monitorMode, create a Schedule, and add a webhook or Zapier zap to push new records to your CRM, Slack or email.

A field is empty — why? Some ads have no fixed price (bidding/free/on request), some sellers skip attributes, and not every ad has a description. Fields are blank only when the seller didn't publish that data — never because the scraper skipped it.

Is scraping Marktplaats legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You're responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (e.g. GDPR for personal data) and Marktplaats's terms.
