Yad2 Product Search Scraper: Extract Market Listings from Yad2.co.il

---

What Is Yad2.co.il?

Yad2 (יד2) is Israel's largest online marketplace, covering categories from real estate and vehicles to second-hand electronics and consumer goods. Its "Market" section functions similarly to Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, where both private sellers and small businesses list products. Manually tracking listings — especially for competitive pricing or inventory research — is impractical at scale. The Yad2 Product Search Scraper automates collection of structured product data from any Yad2 Market category or search results page.

Overview

The Yad2 Product Scraper targets Yad2's marketplace collection and search pages, extracting rich listing data into clean, structured records. It is built for:

• Resellers monitoring second-hand electronics pricing
• Market researchers analyzing consumer goods supply and demand in Israel
• Price intelligence tools tracking listing price changes over time
• Developers building product aggregators or comparison platforms

Core capabilities include configurable item limits per URL, resilient error handling via ignore_url_failures, and support for paginated category pages.

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object with three parameters:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.yad2.co.il/market/collections/mobile-phones?page=2"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array	—	URLs of Yad2 Market product list pages to scrape. Accepts category pages, collection pages, or search result pages. Add one per line or use bulk edit. Example: https://www.yad2.co.il/market/collections/mobile-phones
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	If true, the scraper continues running even if individual URLs fail, skipping them instead of stopping the entire run. Recommended for bulk jobs.
max_items_per_url	integer	20	Maximum number of product listings to collect per URL. Increase for deeper category coverage (e.g., 50 for broader datasets).

Tip: Use paginated URLs (e.g., ?page=2, ?page=3) as separate entries in the urls array to collect listings beyond the first page.

How to Use

1. Find a category or search page — Browse Yad2 Market and navigate to a category (e.g., /market/collections/mobile-phones) or run a search. Copy the full URL including filters and page number.
2. Add URLs to input — Paste into the urls array. For multi-page coverage, add each paginated URL separately.
3. Set item limit — Adjust max_items_per_url based on how many results you need per page (max depends on Yad2's page size, typically 20–40).
4. Enable failure tolerance — Keep ignore_url_failures: true for multi-URL runs.
5. Run and export — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Common issues:

• If a URL returns no results, confirm it is a listing/collection page, not a single product detail page.
• Some filters or query strings may expire (e.g., srsltid tracking tokens) — use clean category URLs when possible for stable runs.
