🛒 FINN Torget Scraper

🎯 Pull clean, structured listing data from FINN Torget — Norway's biggest classifieds marketplace — in seconds.

This scraper collects everything you see on finn.no/torget: titles, prices, conditions, locations, images, seller type, shipping options and full descriptions — across all 11 categories and every Norwegian county. Search by keyword, filter exactly how you want, and export ready-to-use data. Built-in monitoring mode lets you watch the market and pay only for what actually changes.

🚀 What Does It Do?

This scraper automatically searches FINN Torget and collects structured, ready-to-use data for every matching listing. No manual browsing, no copy-paste — just set your filters and hit Start.

💡 Two ways to run it:

1. 🔍 Search Mode — Give it a keyword (like iphone or sofa) and/or filters (category, condition, price, region, seller type) and it gathers every matching listing, page after page.
2. 🔁 Monitoring Mode — Schedule it to run daily or hourly and it returns only the listings that are new or changed since last time — perfect for deal hunting and price tracking without re-downloading the whole market every run.

🔁 Save Big With Monitoring Mode

If you run this scraper on a schedule (e.g. every morning to catch fresh deals), Monitoring Mode is where the savings are.

The first run builds a baseline of everything matching your search. Every run after that compares the market to that baseline and returns only what's different:

• 🆕 NEW — listings that weren't there before
• ✏️ UPDATED — listings whose price or details changed (great for catching price drops)
• 🔁 REAPPEARED — listings that were gone and came back
• ♻️ Repost detection — spots the same item re-listed under a new id, so you're not fooled by duplicates

Because you only pay for the listings that actually changed, a daily monitor of an active search typically costs 80–95% less than re-scraping the whole list every day. Turn it on with a single switch (Incremental monitoring mode), schedule the run in the Apify Console, and optionally connect Telegram, Discord, Slack or a webhook to get pinged the second something new shows up.

💡 Example: Monitoring 500 listings daily. After the first run, only ~25 change on a typical day — so each following run handles ~25 records instead of 500. Over a month that's a fraction of the cost of full daily re-scrapes, while you still see every new deal the moment it lands.

❓ FAQ

🤔 Does it cover all of FINN Torget? Yes — all 11 top-level categories and every Norwegian county, including both private sellers and dealers.

🤔 Can I track price drops? Yes. In monitoring mode, a listing whose price changes since your last run comes back tagged as UPDATED, so you can catch price drops automatically.

🤔 How do the savings on recurring runs work? After the first (baseline) run, monitoring mode returns only listings that are new or changed — so you're not paying to re-download everything every day. On an active search that's typically 80–95% cheaper than full re-scrapes.

🤔 Can I get notified about new listings? Yes — connect Telegram, Discord, Slack or a custom webhook and the scraper pings you whenever new or updated listings appear.

🤔 Can I export the data? Yes — JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, RSS. You can also push data directly to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, or any webhook/API endpoint.

🤔 How often should I run this? For fresh data, run daily or weekly. You can schedule automatic runs on Apify with just a few clicks — and monitoring mode keeps those runs cheap.

🤔 Does it work with proxies? Yes — it runs fine without a proxy, and residential proxies are supported for large or very frequent runs via Apify's built-in proxy service.
