Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Germany

A dedicated German scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. German price conventions, postcodes and location names are handled natively, and locations resolve against Kleinanzeigen's own list rather than a guessed city name.

💶 German price conventions, kept apart

A fixed price, a negotiable price (VB, Verhandlungsbasis), a VB with no number at all, a giveaway and a swap-only ad are five different things. Every record carries a priceType that says which, so a negotiable asking price is never mistaken for a fixed one and a listing with no price is never mistaken for a free one.

📍 Real location filtering

Pass a city or district name and it is resolved to the location the site actually filters on, so "Berlin" returns Berlin listings rather than every listing in Germany that mentions Berlin.

🏠 Property characteristics

Living area, room count and the listing's own tag line in structured fields, for the real-estate categories.

📄 Full descriptions on demand

Search pages carry a truncated snippet. Turn on Fetch listing details and every record gets the complete description, the publish date, the full photo gallery and the listing's attribute table.

🛡️ It tells you when it breaks

If the source changes its markup, this actor fails loudly with a PARSER_STALE health signal instead of quietly returning zero rows. A scheduled feed that silently goes empty is worse than one that stops.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
propertyCategory	string	"apartment_sale"	Which part of the site to search. One of apartment_sale, house_sale, apartment_rent, house_rent, land, commercial, all (all real estate), all_classifieds (whole site).
searchQuery	string	""	Free-text search term, e.g. Altbau or Pokemon. Empty returns everything in the category.
location	string	""	City, district or region, e.g. Berlin, München, Hamburg Altona. Resolved against Kleinanzeigen's own location list. A location code such as 3331 also works. Empty searches all of Germany.
minPrice	integer	(empty)	Lowest price in euros. Applied in the search URL and to the parsed price.
maxPrice	integer	(empty)	Highest price in euros. Listings with no price are never removed by this filter.
daysOld	integer	(empty)	Only return listings published within this many days. See the limitation note below.
fetchDetails	boolean	false	Open each listing's own page for the full description, publish date, gallery, region and attribute table.
maxItems	integer	100	Maximum listings to return.
startUrls	array	[]	Kleinanzeigen search URLs to scrape directly. When set, the category, query, location and price inputs are ignored.
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy": true}	Proxy used for requests. The site rate-limits repeat requests from one IP, so the default is recommended. Residential proxy is not needed.

💰 Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 results — you only pay for successfully retrieved listings. Failed retries are never charged.

Results	Cost
100	~$0.15
1,000	~$1.50
10,000	~$15.00
100,000	~$150.00

Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.90 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the Max items cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

---

Performance

Run size	Typical time
100 results	under 1 minute
1,000 results	2–4 minutes
10,000 results	20–35 minutes

With fetchDetails: true, expect roughly double these times — one extra request per listing.

Known limitations

• Kleinanzeigen shows a publish date on general classifieds cards but not on real-estate cards. For real estate, publishDate and the daysOld filter need fetchDetails: true.
• Search-page descriptions are truncated by the source. Turn on fetchDetails for the full text.
• Living area and room count come from the listing's own tag line and are null when the lister did not publish them.
• Inside a real-estate category the site ignores a search term it cannot match and returns the whole category rather than an empty result.
• The site rate-limits repeat requests from one IP. The actor retries with a fresh proxy session, which is why a run can pause briefly between pages.
• Listings can be withdrawn at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

Technical details

• Source: kleinanzeigen.de — German classifieds, including the full real-estate section
• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
• Retry: automatic retry with exponential backoff and a fresh proxy session per attempt
• Health signal: every run writes a HEALTH record — OK, ZERO_RESULTS for a search the source confirms is empty, or PARSER_STALE when a healthy page yields no listings and does not report itself empty
