## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### 📖 How to use the Ebay Kleinanzeigen Scraper?

1. Create a free Apify account
2. Open Ebay Kleinanzeigen Scraper
3. Add either a search URL or a search query
4. Click Start and wait for the results
5. Download the results in JSON, XML or CSV format or connect the actor to your backend via API

### 📥 Input

To run the actor, simply enter either a:

- **Search URL** - the URL of the search you want to scrape (e.g. https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-berlin/basecap/k0l3331)

- **Search Query** - the name of the object you want to search for (e.g. Basecap)

- **Maximum number of items** - the maximum number of items to scrape. The actor will stop when it reaches this limit (e.g. 10)

- **Fetch view count** (`fetchViewsCount`) - when enabled, the actor makes an extra request per listing to populate `viewsCount` (how many times the ad was viewed on Kleinanzeigen). When disabled (**default**), `viewsCount` is always `null`.

- **Proxy configuration** - choose between default proxy settings, Apify's RESIDENTIAL proxy or a custom proxy URL

You can customize the search further by using a startURL from a search you did directly on Ebay-Kleinanzeigen. This will also allow you to filter based on location.
If you enter both a start URL and a search query, the actor will use perform both actions.

#### 🔄 Monitoring Mode

The scraper includes a powerful monitoring feature that tracks changes across multiple runs:

- **Monitoring Mode** - Enable to track new, updated, and delisted ads across runs
- **Monitoring Fields** - Specify which fields to monitor for changes (e.g., `["price", "title", "descriptionText"]`)

**How Monitoring Works:**

- **First Run**: Saves all scraped ads to persistent storage and returns all results
- **Subsequent Runs**: Compares current results with previous runs and returns only:
  - **New ads**: Items that didn't exist in previous runs
  - **Updated ads**: Existing items with changes in monitored fields
  - **Delisted ads**: Items that existed before but are no longer available

When Monitoring Mode is enabled, returned dataset items also include observed history fields:

- `firstSeenAt` - The first time this actor observed the listing.
- `lastSeenAt` - The latest time this actor observed the listing.
- `daysOnMarket` - Days since `firstSeenAt`; this is based on actor observations, not an official Kleinanzeigen listing age.
- `previousPrice` - The previously stored price before the current run updated the item.
- `priceChanged` - `true` when the current price differs from the previously stored price.
- `priceHistory` - The prices observed by this actor, with a timestamp for each observed price change.
- `changedFields` - Fields whose current value differs from the previously stored item.

These history fields are generated by comparing the current scrape with data stored from previous actor runs. Kleinanzeigen does not expose complete price history or official first-seen dates on the listing page, so changes that happen between scheduled actor runs may not be detected.

**Monitoring Use Cases:**

- **Price Alerts**: Get notified when prices change on items you're tracking
- **New Listings**: Be the first to know about new items matching your criteria
- **Market Changes**: Track when items are removed or updated
- **Automated Monitoring**: Set up scheduled runs to continuously monitor specific searches

**Example Monitoring Configuration:**

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-auto-rad-boot/c210"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "monitoringMode": true,
  "monitoringFields": ["price", "date", "id"]
}
```

### 📤 Output

The results are stored in the default dataset associated with the actor. Each item is an ad, having the following format.

Note: `viewsCount` is only populated when **Fetch view count** (`fetchViewsCount`) is set to `true`. With the default (`false`), it is always `null`.
