Marktplaats Netherlands Car Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

Marktplaats.nl is the Netherlands' largest classifieds marketplace and the default place the Dutch buy and sell used cars (auto's). It publishes no public API. This Actor wraps a polite scrape of the cars category through Marktplaats' own internal search service — paste a filtered Marktplaats search URL or use the default car listing page, and pull every listing's price, make/model, year, mileage (km), fuel, transmission, body type, drivetrain, seller type, city, and photos. Flip on detail enrichment and we fetch each listing's page for the full Dutch description and exterior colour. Built on curl-cffi with rotating browser TLS impersonation, residential proxies, and automatic retry/backoff on blocks.

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 asking prices by make/model/year across the Dutch market.
• Dealer inventory monitoring — diff successive runs to spot new arrivals and price cuts at specific dealers.
• Market research — aggregate fuel-type and transmission mix to gauge EV/hybrid adoption in the Netherlands.
• Lead generation — build a directory of car dealers from <code>seller_name</code> + <code>location</code>.
• Arbitrage / sourcing — find under-priced listings filtered by mileage, year, and body type.

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.
