Blocket.se Scraper

Pull classified ads from Blocket.se — Sweden's largest second-hand marketplace — at scale, complete with prices in SEK, GPS coordinates, postal codes, full image galleries, seller details, and rich vehicle specs (make, model, year, mileage in km, fuel, gearbox, registration number, horsepower). Built for Swedish e-commerce sellers tracking resale prices, used-car dealers monitoring the Nordic vehicle market, and analytics teams studying Scandinavian consumer behavior without scraping HTML page by page.

Why This Scraper?

• All 21 Swedish counties (län) mapped — full nationwide coverage from Stockholms län to Norrbottens län, selectable by human-readable county name (not the raw 0.30000-series codes).
• 14 categories, including 3 vehicle verticals — Cars (Bilar), Motorcycles (MC), and Boats (Båtar) trigger Blocket's richer mobility schema and pull make, model, year, mileage, fuel, gearbox, registration number, and horsepower on every ad.
• Native mil → kilometres conversion — Blocket's mobility API returns odometer readings in Scandinavian mile (1 mil = 10 km). Every vehicle row is normalized to kilometres so your spreadsheet doesn't lie to you.
• Up to ~2,650 marketplace ads or ~2,500 vehicle ads per keyword query — the actor pages through Blocket's full result set automatically, with no manual offset juggling.
• Five wired-in filters — price range (SEK), seller type (private vs business vs both), shipping-only (Blocket Frakt), recency window (last 24 hours / 3 / 7 / 9 days), and sort order (newest / cheapest / most expensive) all pushed straight into Blocket's search API.
• Multi-keyword search + URL-paste mode — drop in any list of search terms for guided runs, or paste exact Blocket.se URLs (search pages, category pages, or individual ads) for power-user control.
• 34 structured fields per ad — including latitude/longitude, postal code, the full image array, the seller's profile URL, and the Swedish subcategory under each top-level category.
• Cross-keyword deduplication by ad ID — run ten overlapping queries and every ad still appears exactly once in your dataset.

Tips for Best Results

• Use multiple keywords for broader coverage — Swedish and English both work (["soffa", "couch", "3-sits"]). Results are deduplicated by ad ID, so overlap costs nothing.
• Per-query pagination ceiling is ~2,650 marketplace ads or ~2,500 vehicle ads — to go deeper into a hot category, split your search with price bands (0-500, 500-2000, 2000+) or by county.
• Pairing sellerType: "private" with category: "cars" returns near-zero results — roughly 99% of car ads on Blocket are posted by business dealers. Use All sellers or Business / dealers only for cars.
• publishedWithin maxes out at 9 days — Blocket's search API does not support wider time windows. Use Any time to include older listings.
• For vehicle data, pick the dedicated category (Cars, Motorcycles, or Boats) — only these trigger the mobility schema with make/model/mileage/fuel/gearbox/horsepower extraction.
• A region filter dramatically reduces noise for local-market research; pair region: "skane" with a tight price band to focus on one län at a time.
• Combine priceMin/priceMax with multi-keyword search to capture specific market segments — e.g. mid-range used phones in Stockholm.

Pricing

$3.00 per 1,000 results — flat pay-per-result, billed only for ads actually delivered to your dataset.

100	$0.30
1,000	$3.00
