Tips for Best Results

Start with focused inputs

Use either a clear Bilbasen search URL or a specific keyword. Combine keyword with location when you need targeted regional output. Narrower queries run faster and produce cleaner datasets.

Keep runs fast for testing

Set results_wanted to 20 for quick validation. Increase max_pages only when broader coverage is needed.

Use the right ownership type

Select retail for buy listings and leasing for leasing offers. The ownership filter is applied directly to the search.

Schedule for ongoing monitoring

Run the Actor on a recurring schedule to track price changes, new inventory, and market movement by brand, model, or region.

Enable proxy for repeated runs

For scheduled or high-volume runs, enable proxy configuration in the input to improve stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run with only a URL?

Yes. Provide a startUrl from Bilbasen and the Actor derives matching search filters from the URL path and query parameters.

Can I run with only a keyword?

Yes. Leave startUrl empty and enter a keyword such as Toyota, Yaris, or electric. The Actor searches across all of Denmark.

Does the Actor support pagination?

Yes. Configure max_pages for the page limit and results_wanted for the total listing cap. The Actor stops when either limit is reached.

Are duplicate listings removed?

Yes. Listings are deduplicated by listing ID across all pages to prevent repeated records in the dataset.

Why are some runs smaller than requested?

The Actor stops when no more valid listings are available within the applied filters and page limit. Fewer total matches on Bilbasen can also cause smaller datasets.

What fields can I expect in the output?

The dataset includes 30+ fields covering vehicle identity, pricing, mileage, fuel type, transmission, electric range, battery capacity, CO2 tax, horsepower, registration date, location coordinates, seller details, images, features, and search metadata.

Can I export the data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded in CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and other supported formats from the Storage tab.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify Console to schedule runs hourly, daily, weekly, or at custom intervals for ongoing market monitoring.
