Blocket Car Scraper (Sweden)

What this Actor scrapes

Blocket.se is Sweden's largest marketplace and lists tens of thousands of used cars — with no public API. This Actor scrapes the public car search: filter by free-text query, make, or paste a full Blocket search URL, and (optionally) enrich each listing from its detail page with mileage, gearbox, engine power, body type, colour, first-registration date, drivetrain, owner count, and whether the seller is a dealer or a private person. Swedish 'mil' odometer readings are converted to kilometres for you. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation and Apify residential proxy rotation.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per page, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.

Use cases

• Used-car price analytics — track SEK price vs mileage and model year across the Swedish market.
• Dealer-inventory monitoring — filter by <code>seller_type = dealer</code> and watch a competitor's stock turnover.
• EV market tracking — query electric makes/models and chart Sweden's fast-moving used-EV pricing.
• Lead generation — build a directory of private sellers and dealers by make, region, and price band.
• Arbitrage + sourcing — spot under-priced listings the moment they appear with a daily diff.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.
