Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Finn.no Scraper Scrape listings from Finn.no, Norway's dominant classifieds platform with 80% market share — covering items for sale, real estate, cars, and jobs. ### Why use this actor? Finn.no is the go-to marketplace in Norway for buying, selling, and renting. This actor lets you extract structured listing data across all major categories — perfect for market research, price monitoring, competitor analysis, and lead generation in the Norwegian market. No login or cookies required. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `query` | String | No | Search term (e.g. "laptop", "Tesla Model 3") | | `category` | String | No | `bap` (classifieds), `realestate`, `car`, or `job`. Default: `bap` | | `location` | String | No | Filter by location (e.g. "Oslo", "Bergen") | | `minPrice` | Integer | No | Minimum price in NOK | | `maxPrice` | Integer | No | Maximum price in NOK | | `sortBy` | String | No | `RELEVANCE`, `PUBLISHED_DESC`, `PRICE_ASC`, or `PRICE_DESC` | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum results to return (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings (datacenter proxies usually work) | ### Output Each result contains: | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `itemId` | String | `"458797910"` | | `title` | String | `"Microsoft Surface Laptop 12Core"` | | `description` | String | `"Til salgs"` | | `price` | Number | `11000` | | `currency` | String | `"NOK"` | | `priceType` | String | `"kr"` | | `location` | String | `"Fitjar"` | | `category` | String | `"Classifieds"` | | `subcategory` | String | `"Microsoft"` | | `imageUrl` | String | Main listing image URL | | `imageUrls` | Array | All listing image URLs | | `sellerName` | String | `"Privat"` | | `sellerType` | String | `"private"` or `"dealer"` | | `url` | String | Full URL to the listing | | `scrapedAt` | String | `"2026-04-06T10:30:00.000Z"` | ### Example output ```json { "itemId": "458797910", "title": "Microsoft Surface Laptop 12Core", "description": "Til salgs", "price": 11000, "currency": "NOK", "priceType": "kr", "location": "Fitjar", "category": "Classifieds", "subcategory": "Microsoft", "imageUrl": "https://images.finncdn.no/dynamic/default/item/458797910/d8e4cd6b-b096-4ac4-9042-134ff68f4ba2", "imageUrls": [ "https://images.finncdn.no/dynamic/default/item/458797910/d8e4cd6b-b096-4ac4-9042-134ff68f4ba2", "https://images.finncdn.no/dynamic/default/item/458797910/75453a11-1d27-4467-af99-610168f86b9a" ], "sellerName": "Privat", "sellerType": "private", "url": "https://www.finn.no/recommerce/forsale/item/458797910", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-06T10:30:00.000Z" } ```` ### Cost estimate This actor uses Finn.no's fast JSON API, making it very efficient. Approximately **0.05 compute units per 1,000 results**. At standard Apify pricing, that's roughly **$0.02 per 1,000 listings**. ### Limitations - Real estate, car, and job categories use the same API pattern but some may have different search key requirements — classifieds (bap) is the most reliable - Location filtering uses text matching — use Norwegian location names for best results - Price filters may not apply to all categories (e.g. jobs) - Data is scraped from the public Finn.no API and may change without notice - Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Search term (e.g. 'laptop', 'sofa', 'Tesla Model 3'). Leave empty to browse all listings in the selected category. ## `category` (type: `string`): Which Finn.no category to search. ## `location` (type: `string`): Filter by location name (e.g. 'Oslo', 'Bergen', 'Trondheim'). Leave empty for all of Norway. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Minimum price filter in Norwegian kroner. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Maximum price filter in Norwegian kroner. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): How to sort results. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listings to scrape. Each API page returns ~50 results. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Datacenter proxies usually work fine for Finn.no. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "laptop", "category": "bap", "sortBy": "RELEVANCE", "maxResults": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
