Tips for Best Results

Getting More Results

• Marktplaats limits access to approximately 5,000 listings per search (167 pages × 30). For broad categories, split into smaller queries with price ranges or more specific keywords to access more of the catalogue.
• Combine searchUrls with subcategory URLs for maximum coverage within a category.

Using URLs from Your Browser

• Apply all your filters on Marktplaats.nl first (category, location, distance, etc.) then copy the URL from your browser's address bar and paste it into searchUrls. The scraper will honour those filters.

Dutch Language

• Marktplaats is a Dutch marketplace — search terms in Dutch return more results. For example, use "fiets" instead of "bike", or "bank" instead of "sofa".
• Category slugs in URLs are also in Dutch (e.g. /l/computers-en-software/laptops/).

Price Filtering

• Use minPrice and maxPrice to avoid wading through free items or high-end listings you are not interested in. Prices are in whole euros.

Sorting Strategy

• Use Newest First when monitoring new listings as they appear.
• Use Price: Low to High to find the best deals at the top of your results.
• Use Most Relevant for exploratory keyword searches where you are not sure what to expect.

Pricing

No compute charges — you only pay per result returned.

Results	Estimated Cost
100	$0.10
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00
