2ememain.be Search Scraper: Extract Marketplace Listings at Scale

---

What Is 2ememain.be?

2ememain.be (French) and its Dutch counterpart 2dehands.be form Belgium's dominant second-hand and classifieds marketplace, covering categories from vehicles and real estate to electronics and fashion. With thousands of new listings posted daily, manually tracking prices, availability, or seller patterns is impractical. The 2ememain.be Search Scraper automates collection across any search or category page, delivering clean, structured data ready for analysis.

Input Format

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.2ememain.be/l/autos/p/2/#Language:all-languages"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}

Field	Type	Description
urls	array of strings	One or more search/category page URLs to scrape. Supports pagination URLs (e.g., /p/2/, /p/3/). Add URLs one by one or via bulk edit.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, the scraper continues running when a URL fails instead of stopping the entire run. Recommended for bulk jobs. Default: true.
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum number of listings to collect per URL. Default: 20. Set higher (e.g., 50) to capture full pages.

Tip: To scrape multiple pages of the same category, add each paginated URL separately (e.g., /p/1/, /p/2/, /p/3/). Use the same search filters in the URL to ensure consistent results.

How to Use

1. Get the search URL — Perform a search or browse a category on 2ememain.be. Copy the URL including any active filters (price range, location, language, etc.).
2. Add pagination if needed — Append /p/2/, /p/3/ etc. to scrape multiple result pages.
3. Configure the input — Paste URLs into the urls array and set max_items_per_url to match the page's listing count (typically 30–50).
4. Run and export — Start the scraper and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Best practices:

• Keep ignore_url_failures: true for any multi-URL run.
• Filter by category in the URL (e.g., /l/autos/) to get cleaner, more consistent Attributes output.
• For price monitoring, schedule recurring runs and compare Price Info over time.
