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). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## DBA.dk Marketplace Scraper Extract structured listing data from DBA Marketplace search and category pages. Collect listing titles, prices, locations, metadata, and listing links at scale for resale analytics, market monitoring, and catalog intelligence. ### Features - **Keyword or URL input** - Start from a DBA search URL, item URL, or keyword-based query. - **Location-aware extraction** - Supports both DBA location tokens and human-readable location names. - **Pagination control** - Collect only the number of results you need with page and result caps. - **Clean dataset output** - Excludes empty values from records for cleaner downstream usage. - **Category-ready runs** - Works with filtered URLs that include category and location parameters. ### Use Cases #### Price Monitoring Track asking-price trends for specific product types over time. Build repeatable price snapshots for market comparison and resale strategy. #### Inventory Research Collect structured listing data for niche categories and regions. Identify volume, variety, and availability patterns. #### Marketplace Intelligence Monitor listing activity across keywords and locations. Compare demand-heavy terms against category-specific inventory. #### Data Pipeline Input Generate consistent records for BI tools, spreadsheets, and reporting workflows. Use exports for recurring analysis tasks. --- ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `url` | String | No | `https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/search?q=iphone` | DBA search or item URL. | | `keyword` | String | No | `iphone` | Keyword query. Overrides keyword from URL when both are set. | | `location` | String | No | `København og omegn` | Location token or location name. | | `results_wanted` | Integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of records to save. | | `max_pages` | Integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of pages to process. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | — | Proxy settings for improved reliability. | --- ### Output Data Each dataset item can include these common fields (plus additional non-empty listing metadata): | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `id` | String | Listing ID. | | `title` | String | Listing title. | | `location` | String | Listing location label. | | `price_amount` | Number | Listing price amount. | | `price_currency` | String | Currency code. | | `trade_type` | String | Trade type label. | | `posted_at` | String | ISO timestamp derived from listing time. | | `url` | String | Canonical listing URL. | --- ### Usage Examples #### Keyword Search ```json { "keyword": "iphone", "results_wanted": 50 } ```` #### URL-Based Search ```json { "url": "https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/search?location=0.200001&q=bolig", "results_wanted": 100, "max_pages": 10 } ``` #### Item URL Lookup ```json { "url": "https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/item/20912693", "results_wanted": 1 } ``` *** ### Sample Output ```json { "source": "dba.dk", "fetched_at": "2026-04-28T06:35:10.421Z", "id": "20912693", "title": "iPhone 14 plus 128GB blå", "location": "Rødovre", "price_amount": 2200, "price_currency": "DKK", "price_unit": "kr.", "posted_at": "2026-04-28T04:52:21.810Z", "trade_type": "Til salg", "url": "https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/item/20912693", "query_params": { "q": [ "20912693" ] } } ``` *** ### Tips for Best Results #### Start with Working Search URLs - Use a URL copied from DBA search pages for precise filters. - Keep region and category parameters in the URL when needed. #### Use Reasonable Collection Limits - Use `results_wanted: 20` to validate a new setup quickly. - Increase limits gradually for larger production runs. #### Improve Stability - Use proxy configuration when running frequent or large-volume jobs. - Combine keyword and location targeting to narrow large result sets. *** ### Integrations Connect your extracted data with: - **Google Sheets** - Build live tracking sheets. - **Airtable** - Create searchable listing databases. - **Make** - Automate recurring collection and routing. - **Zapier** - Trigger alerts and follow-up workflows. - **Webhooks** - Send data to custom services. #### Export Formats - **JSON** - App and API workflows. - **CSV** - Spreadsheet analysis. - **Excel** - Business reporting. - **XML** - System integrations. *** ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Can I run with only a URL? Yes. A valid DBA search URL is enough to run the scraper. #### Can I run with only a keyword? Yes. The scraper can run directly from keyword input. #### What if both URL and keyword are provided? The keyword value is prioritized for the search query. #### How do I filter by region? Provide a location token or a location name in `location`, or include location parameters in the URL. #### Can I scrape single listings? Yes. You can pass a DBA item URL and set `results_wanted` to `1`. *** ### Support For issues or feature requests, contact support through the Apify Console. #### Resources - [Apify Documentation](https://docs.apify.com/) - [API Reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) - [Scheduling Runs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) *** ### Legal Notice This actor is intended for legitimate data collection use cases.
