DBA.dk General Marketplace Scraper

Scrape DBA.dk's general marketplace (Markedspladsen) — Denmark's largest classifieds site. Covers electronics, furniture, fashion, sport, hobby, garden, animals, art and business equipment. Not cars — for used-car listings see our separate dba-scraper.

Why use this actor?

DBA.dk is Denmark's biggest classifieds marketplace, part of the Schibsted/Adevinta network (same family as Finn.no in Norway and Blocket in Sweden). This actor extracts structured listing data — title, price, brand, location, seller type, images — across every marketplace category except cars. Useful for price monitoring, resale sourcing, market research, and lead generation in the Danish second-hand market. No login or cookies required.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
query	String	No	Search term in Danish (e.g. "cykel", "sofa", "iphone"). Leave empty to browse a category.
category	String	No	One of 11 top-level categories (electronics, furniture, fashion, sport, hobby, parents & children, garden, animals, art, car/boat equipment, business). Default: ALL
subCategory	String	No	DBA's internal sub-category ID for deeper filtering (advanced — see dba.dk/category-explorer)
location	String	No	DBA's internal location/region code. Leave empty to search all of Denmark
minPrice	Integer	No	Minimum price in DKK
maxPrice	Integer	No	Maximum price in DKK
sortBy	String	No	RELEVANCE, PUBLISHED_DESC, PUBLISHED_ASC, PRICE_ASC, PRICE_DESC, or CLOSEST
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum results to return (default: 100)
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings (RESIDENTIAL recommended — not for anti-bot, but Apify's datacenter pool has no reliable Danish exit nodes)

Cost estimate

This actor reads DBA's server-rendered search page directly (no headless browser needed), making it fast and cheap to run. Approximately 0.05 compute units per 1,000 results. At standard Apify pricing, that's roughly $0.02 per 1,000 listings.

Usage cost for a run only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset while a run is still in progress can undercount the final item total.

Limitations

• Sub-category and location filters use DBA's internal numeric codes, not free-text names — find them by browsing dba.dk/category-explorer and copying the ID from the URL
• Deep pagination is capped by DBA's own search engine at roughly 50 pages (~2,650 results) per query — narrow your search with category, price or keyword filters to reach different slices of a large result set
• Data is scraped from the public DBA.dk website and may change without notice
• Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly
