Why use this actor?

Sahibinden.com is Turkey's largest classifieds platform -- the equivalent of Craigslist, AutoTrader, and Zillow combined. It dominates the Turkish market for second-hand cars, real estate, electronics, and services. This actor gives you structured access to listing data that would take hours to collect manually, with built-in anti-detection to handle the site's aggressive bot protection.

Use cases include market research for the Turkish automotive market, price monitoring for used cars, real estate market analysis across Turkish cities, and competitive intelligence for dealers and importers.

category	String	No	Category: otomobil, arazi, motosiklet, emlak, cep-telefonu, bilgisayar, elektronik, vasita. Default: otomobil.
location	String	No	Turkish city filter (e.g., "istanbul", "ankara", "izmir"). Empty = all locations.

priceTo	Integer	No	Maximum price in TRY.

• arazi -- SUVs, pickups, off-road vehicles
• motosiklet -- Motorcycles and scooters

Proxy requirements

Sahibinden.com blocks datacenter IPs and shows a bot check on listing pages. The actor loads the pages in a real browser (Camoufox) through Apify's residential proxy in Turkey, whatever you put in the proxy field. When a session is refused or sent to the login page, the actor closes it and starts a fresh one on a new Turkish IP.

If a search has no listings on Sahibinden.com, the run ends SUCCEEDED with 0 results and a status message saying so. A run only fails when every browser session was refused before the run timeout.

Cost estimate

This actor uses Playwright with residential proxies to handle Sahibinden's anti-bot measures. It charges $0.04 per run (start fee, based on its 4 GB memory allocation) plus $0.005 per result. A 1,000-listing run costs about $5.04. Residential proxy bandwidth, if your Apify plan doesn't include it, is billed separately by Apify. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Tips for best results

• Use specific search queries for better results (e.g., "Volkswagen Golf" instead of just "araba")
• Filter by city to narrow results (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir have the most listings)
• Set price ranges to focus on your target market segment
• Start with small maxResults (50-100) to validate your query before scaling up
• The car category extracts vehicle-specific fields (make, model, year, mileage, fuel, transmission)

Limitations

• Sahibinden.com requires Turkish residential proxies -- datacenter proxies are blocked
• Phone numbers and seller contact details are behind login walls and not extracted
• Very high-volume scraping may trigger additional CAPTCHA challenges
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice
• Some listing details (full specs, description text) require visiting individual listing pages
• The site may temporarily block IPs during peak traffic hours
