Getting Started

Keyword Search

The simplest way to start — just enter what you are looking for:

{
    "searchQueries": ["iPhone 15 Pro", "laptop gaming"],
    "maxResults": 100
}

Search with Price Range

Narrow results to a specific budget:

{
    "searchQueries": ["racefiets"],
    "minPrice": 200,
    "maxPrice": 800,
    "sortBy": "price_asc",
    "maxResults": 200
}

Category or Search URL

Keyword search URLs work exactly as they read. Category URLs need the two category numbers on the end, which is what pins the run to the BMW car category instead of everything on the site matching the word "bmw":

{
    "searchUrls": [
        "https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/auto-s/bmw/?l1CategoryId=91&l2CategoryId=96",
        "https://www.marktplaats.nl/q/gaming+laptop/"
    ],
    "maxResults": 500
}

Combined: URLs and Queries Together

Mix both input types — results from all sources are combined:

{
    "searchUrls": ["https://www.marktplaats.nl/l/antiek-en-kunst/?l1CategoryId=1"],
    "searchQueries": ["vintage lamp", "retro klok"],
    "minPrice": 50,
    "sortBy": "date_down",
    "maxResults": 1000
}

Input Reference

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchUrls	string[]	[]	Marktplaats keyword search URLs (/q/...), or category URLs with their category numbers appended (?l1CategoryId=91&l2CategoryId=96). A category URL without those numbers is searched by its last word instead, and the run log says so
searchQueries	string[]	[]	Plain-text search terms (e.g. "iPhone 15 Pro")
maxResults	integer	100	Total listings to collect, shared evenly across every URL and query you enter. Set to 0 for no limit
sortBy	string	"date_down" (Newest First)	Sort order: date_down (Newest First), price_asc (Price: Low to High), price_desc (Price: High to Low), or relevance (Most Relevant)
minPrice	integer	—	Only include listings priced at or above this amount in euros
maxPrice	integer	—	Only include listings priced at or below this amount in euros
includeSponsored	boolean	true	Marktplaats mixes paid webshop advertisements into its results (typically around 1 in 5). Leave on to receive them as the site shows them, or turn off to collect only genuine listings the search matched

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.
• maxResults is split evenly across everything you enter, so five queries with a limit of 500 give each query roughly 100 listings, and any query that runs out early hands its leftover share to the others. Listings arrive in batches of 30, so allow at least 30 per search (three queries → set 90 or more) and expect the final count to round up to the nearest full batch.

Using URLs from Your Browser

• Keyword search URLs (marktplaats.nl/q/...) copy across from your address bar and work exactly as they read.
• Category URLs are the one exception worth knowing: Marktplaats keeps its category numbers out of the address bar, so marktplaats.nl/l/auto-s/bmw/ on its own is searched as the words "bmw" across the whole site. Add the two category numbers to the end (?l1CategoryId=91&l2CategoryId=96) and you get the BMW car category itself. The run log tells you which of the two happened, every time.

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.
• Auction-style ads (priceType: FAST_BID) carry no asking price on Marktplaats, so any price range you set filters them out. Leave both fields empty if you want auctions in your export.

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.

No compute charges — you only pay per result returned.
