Shpock Scraper

Scrape second-hand classifieds listings from Shpock.com — the #2 classifieds marketplace in Austria, Germany, and the UK, also live in Italy. One actor covers all four markets: search by keyword or category, pick a country, and get structured listing data. No login or cookies required.

Why use this actor?

Shpock is a major player in second-hand goods across AT/DE/UK, with real inventory in Italy too. Whether you're tracking resale prices, sourcing deals, or researching local second-hand markets, this actor turns Shpock search results into structured data without manual browsing.

Use cases:

• Price monitoring — track resale prices for specific products (phones, electronics, furniture) across four markets
• Market research — compare second-hand pricing and inventory between AT, DE, UK, and IT
• Inventory sourcing — find deals across categories like Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden
• Cross-border arbitrage research — the same product category, four currencies, one dataset
• Academic / consumer research — study second-hand market dynamics

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
searchQuery	String	No	Free-text keyword search (e.g. "iphone", "sofa", "bike")
category	String	No	Shpock category ID, e.g. el (Electronics), fa (Fashion & Accessories), hg (Home & Garden), sl (Sport & Leisure)
country	String	No	Market to search: AT, DE, GB, or IT. Default AT
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum listings to return (default 90, max 500 — see Limitations)
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL is required — see Limitations

At least one of searchQuery or category should be set; if both are empty the actor falls back to a default iphone search so a run always returns data.

How to use the API

Call the actor via the Apify API:

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/studio-amba~shpock-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"searchQuery": "iphone", "country": "DE", "maxResults": 60}' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Cost estimate

This actor calls Shpock's own GraphQL search API directly — no browser overhead, one HTTP request per 30 results. It charges $0.005 per run (start fee, based on its 1 GB memory allocation) plus $0.002 per result scraped. 90 results (a full single-search run) costs about $0.19. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

Why country selection needs a proxy

Shpock's search is not scoped by language or URL — /en-gb/, /de-de/, /de-at/ all return the exact same results. The site ranks listings purely by distance from the requester's IP address. Selecting country in this actor's input routes the request through a residential proxy physically located in that country, which is what actually determines whether you see Austrian, German, UK, or Italian inventory (and the correct local currency). This is why RESIDENTIAL proxies are required rather than optional here — there is no anti-bot to defend against, but there is no other way to pick a market.

Limitations

• Guest search cap: Shpock limits unauthenticated search access to roughly 90 results (3 pages of 30) per search. The actor stops cleanly and returns everything collected if this limit is hit — this is not a scraper failure. To cover more ground, run multiple narrower searches (different keywords or categories) rather than raising maxResults past ~90.
• Border regions can return listings from a neighbouring country if they're geographically closer to the proxy's exit point than same-country listings — this mirrors Shpock's own "nearby" ranking, not a scraper bug.
• originalPrice is only populated for discounted listings.
• Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.
