Yad2 Scraper

Pull classifieds listings from Yad2 — Israel's largest marketplace — at scale. Real estate (rentals, for-sale, commercial), vehicles (cars, motorcycles, trucks), the second-hand market, and pets, all from one actor with one flat output schema. Built for Israeli real-estate investors, vehicle resellers, lead-gen agencies, and market researchers who need comprehensive Yad2 coverage without decoding Hebrew search URLs or maintaining a brittle in-house scraper.

Why This Scraper?

• 8 Yad2 sections in one actor — real-estate rentals, real-estate for-sale, real-estate commercial, cars, motorcycles, trucks & commercial vehicles, the second-hand market (יד שנייה), and pets. Switch with a single dropdown.
• Up to ~56,000 vehicle listings and ~9,700 real-estate sales per region — enough to cover Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, or Israel-wide in a single run, with an internal hard cap of 100,000 rows when maxResults=0.
• English-to-Hebrew location resolver for the top ~50 Israeli cities — type "Tel Aviv", "Jerusalem", "Be'er Sheva", "Herzliya", "Ramat Gan" and the actor maps it to Yad2's internal city/area codes. Hebrew input (תל אביב) works natively too.
• Power-user startUrls — paste any Yad2 search URL straight from your browser bar (e.g. /realestate/forsale?topArea=2&city=5000&minPrice=2000000) and every filter in the URL is honored as-is. Mix multiple URLs in one run.
• 4 sort orders — Newest first, Price low-to-high, Price high-to-low, Most relevant. "Newest first" is ideal for lead-gen alerting.
• Range filters per category — price range (ILS) for everything, room range (1–20, half-rooms allowed) for real estate, year range (1950–2030) for vehicles.
• One flat row per listing — 41 fields — listing ID, title, price (with priceLabel for "price on request"), city, neighborhood, full address, latitude/longitude, rooms, square meters, floor, year, kilometrage, agency name, image URLs, and listing URL. No nested galleries to bill for.
• Pay only for results — no compute time charges. $4.00 per 1,000 listings, half the $8/1K going rate for Yad2 data on Apify. You pay for the rows you receive, nothing else.
• Hebrew text emitted verbatim in UTF-8 — titles, descriptions, neighborhoods, and street names preserved exactly as Yad2 displays them, ready for direct ingestion into RTL-aware tooling.

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
category	select	Real Estate — Rentals	Yad2 section to search. Options: Real Estate — Rentals, Real Estate — For Sale, Real Estate — Commercial, Vehicles — Cars, Vehicles — Motorcycles, Vehicles — Trucks & Commercial, Second-Hand Market (Furniture, Electronics, etc.), Pets. Ignored when startUrls is provided.
location	string	Tel Aviv	City, neighborhood, or area name in Hebrew or English (e.g. "Tel Aviv", "תל אביב", "Haifa", "Jerusalem"). Leave empty to search Israel-wide. Ignored when startUrls is provided.
startUrls	URL[]	[]	One or more Yad2 search URLs. When provided, these override category and location — the URL's own filters are honored. The most flexible way to scrape.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
priceMin	integer	—	Minimum price in Israeli Shekels. Leave empty for no minimum.
priceMax	integer	—	Maximum price in Israeli Shekels. Leave empty for no maximum.
roomsMin	number	—	Minimum room count for real estate. Half-rooms allowed (e.g. 2.5). Ignored for non-real-estate categories.
roomsMax	number	—	Maximum room count for real estate. Ignored for non-real-estate categories.
yearMin	integer	—	Minimum vehicle year (e.g. 2018). Ignored for non-vehicle categories.
yearMax	integer	—	Maximum vehicle year. Ignored for non-vehicle categories.
sortBy	select	Newest first	Order results before collection. Options: Newest first, Price: low to high, Price: high to low, Most relevant.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	200	Hard cap on total listings collected. Set to 0 for no cap (an internal upper limit of 100,000 still applies). The actor stops requesting new pages once this number is reached but keeps the full final page even if it slightly overshoots.

Output

Each row is one Yad2 listing in a single flat shape across all 8 categories. Fields irrelevant to a given category are returned as null, so downstream tooling sees the same schema whether it's processing apartments, cars, or pets.

Tips for Best Results

• Hebrew location text is fastest. Pasting תל אביב or ירושלים skips the English-to-Hebrew dictionary lookup entirely and matches Yad2's autocomplete on the first try. Less common cities and neighborhoods that aren't in the top-50 dictionary need Hebrew text.
• Use startUrls for advanced filters not in the schema. Yad2's URL bar exposes manufacturer codes, body-style filters, sub-area picks, and dozens of other niche filters. Configure your search on yad2.co.il, copy the URL, paste it into startUrls, and the actor honors every parameter.
• Mix multiple startUrls in one run. You can combine a Tel Aviv rentals URL, a Jerusalem for-sale URL, and a Haifa cars URL in one input — each becomes its own scan, all rows land in the same dataset, deduplicated by listingId.
• Sort by "Newest first" for daily alerting. Schedule the actor to run every morning with sortBy: "newest" and maxResults: 200 to capture only freshly posted listings since yesterday.
• Vehicle year and price filters require both bounds. Yad2's vehicle search treats open-ended ranges as zero results. The actor auto-fills the missing end (price defaults to 0–9,999,999, year to 1950–2030) so partial input still works, but tight ranges return faster results.
• Start with maxResults: 100–200 to validate. Verify the data shape, the filters, and the location resolution match what you expect, then scale up.
• For market arbitrage, the second-hand category covers electronics by default. Use startUrls with category-specific paths like /products/אלקטרוניקה, /products/ריהוט, or /products/לבית-ולגן to target other product slugs.

Pricing

Pay-per-result pricing — no compute charges. $4.00 per 1,000 listings, half the going rate for Yad2 data on Apify.

Results	Cost
100	$0.40
1,000	$4.00
10,000	$40.00
100,000	$400.00

You only pay for the listings the actor returns. Compute time is on us. A "result" is one row in the output dataset (one Yad2 listing).
