FINN.no Car Scraper (Norway)

Scrape used-car listings from FINN.no — Norway's dominant classifieds. Get make, model, year, price in NOK, mileage in km, fuel, gearbox, power (hp), body type, colour, first registration, seller type (dealer/private), location and photos. Export to JSON or CSV.

Free Apify credit covers a first run. No credit card to try.

What this Actor scrapes

FINN.no is Norway'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 FINN search URL, and (optionally) enrich each listing from its detail page with mileage, gearbox, engine power, body type, colour, first-registration date, and whether the seller is a dealer (Forhandler) or a private person. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation and Apify residential proxy rotation.

What we handle for you

  • 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotationcurl-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 NOK price vs mileage and model year across the Norwegian 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 Norway'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.

FieldTypeRequiredWhat it does
searchUrl string no A full FINN.no car search URL you pasted (filters already applied), e.g. https://www.finn.no/mobility/search/car?make=Tesla. When set, this overrides the query/make fields below.
query string no Free-text search (FINN q param), e.g. audi a4 quattro. Ignored when searchUrl is set.
make string no Convenience filter for a single car make, e.g. Tesla. Ignored when searchUrl is set.
maxResults integer no Hard cap on dataset rows. FINN serves ~45 listings per search page; we paginate up to this cap.
enrichDetails boolean no Fetch each car's detail page for mileage, gearbox, engine power, body type, colour, first-registration date, number of owners, and seller type. Roughly doubles the request count.

FAQ

Does this cover new cars too?
The default search is FINN's used-car channel. Paste a <code>searchUrl</code> that includes new-car filters if you want those — the parser reads whatever the search page returns.
Why are mileage, gearbox and power sometimes null?
Those live on each car's detail page. Keep <code>enrichDetails</code> on (the default) to fill them; turn it off to halve the request count and get just make, model, year, price, photos, and seller type from the search payload.
What currency are prices in?
Norwegian kroner (NOK). The <code>currency</code> field is set to <code>NOK</code> and <code>price</code> is an integer amount.
How do I search a specific make or model?
Set <code>make</code>, type a <code>query</code> like <code>audi a4</code>, or paste a full FINN search <code>searchUrl</code> with the filters already applied — the URL wins if all three are set.
Is this a FINN-sanctioned API?
No. FINN.no publishes no public car API. This Actor scrapes the public website politely with browser TLS impersonation and proxy rotation — see the ToS notice in the README.
