mobile.de Listings Scraper

Extract car and vehicle listings from mobile.de — Germany's largest automotive marketplace with around 1.9 million active listings.

Why use this actor

• No account or login required — search and collect listings without signing up.
• Search by any keyword — find by make, model, trim, or any free-text term (e.g. "volkswagen golf", "bmw 3 series").
• Filter by price, mileage, and registration year — narrow results before they hit your dataset.
• Optional deep detail per listing — toggle one field to also collect full equipment lists, descriptions, and finance information.
• Stable structured JSON output — every record has the same fields, ready to load into a spreadsheet, database, or pipeline.
• Multiple queries in one run — supply a list of search terms and get all results in a single dataset.

How it works

1. You provide one or more search queries (e.g. ["volkswagen golf", "bmw 320d"]) and optional filters such as max price or mileage.
2. The actor pages through search results and collects up to your chosen limit per query.
3. If Fetch per-listing detail is enabled, each listing is enriched with its full equipment list, HTML description, and finance plans.
4. Results stream into your Apify dataset as structured JSON records — no browser, no account, and no API key needed on your end.

How it works under the hood (WAF & endpoint)

• WAF: mobile.de's HTML pages (www.mobile.de, m.mobile.de) are behind Akamai Bot Manager (server AkamaiGHost; _abck/bm_sz cookies; 403 "Zugriff verweigert"). The actor does not touch those HTML pages.
• Data source: the site's own consumer BFF JSON API at https://www.mobile.de/consumer/api/search/srp (search) and .../search/vip (detail). This BFF is not Akamai-walled and needs no cookie warmup.
• The one gate is an API-contract header — x-mobile-client: de.mobile.consumer-webapp. Without it every call returns 400 {"errors":[{"key":"400","args":["Missing or invalid client header"]}]}.
• TLS profile: curl_cffi chrome124. The BFF is not JA3-sensitive (chrome124/chrome131/safari17_0/edge101 all pass) — the header, not the fingerprint, is what unlocks it.
• Pagination: the SRP endpoint consumes a classic suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/search.html?... URL (built from your filters) and returns searchResults.{numResultsTotal, page, numPages, hasNextPage, items}. mobile.de caps deep pagination at ~50 pages (~1300 listings) per search.
• Proxy: works from any residential IP (DE not required). Datacenter may work for small runs; residential recommended at scale.
• Last verified: 2026-07-10.

Note on API drift (fixed 2026-07-10): the previous www.mobile.de/api/s/ endpoint broke — it now hard-requires the x-mobile-client header and is only a capped 20-item quick-search preview with no working pagination. The actor was migrated to the paginated SRP/VIP BFF endpoints above.
