## 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`).

# README

## Marktplaats Scraper

Scrape classified listings from Marktplaats.nl — the Netherlands' largest online marketplace with over 10 million active listings. Also supports 2dehands.be (Belgium) which runs on the same backend. Extract prices, seller info, images, locations, and more. No login or cookies required.

### Why use this actor?

Marktplaats dominates the Dutch classifieds market with millions of daily visitors. This actor calls the internal Marktplaats API directly, giving you fast, structured data for market research, price monitoring, competitor analysis, and inventory sourcing.

**Use cases:**

- **Price monitoring** — track secondhand market prices for any product category
- **Market research** — analyze listing volumes, pricing trends, and regional supply
- **Inventory sourcing** — find deals on electronics, furniture, vehicles, and more
- **Competitor analysis** — monitor what sellers are listing and at what prices
- **Cross-border analysis** — compare NL (Marktplaats) and BE (2dehands) markets with one actor

    "imageUrls": [
        "https://images.marktplaats.com/api/v1/listing-mp-prod/images/ab/ab123456.jpg"
    ],
    "listingDate": "2026-04-01T10:30:00Z",

}
```

### How to use the API

Call the actor via the Apify API:

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/studio-amba~marktplaats-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"query": "fiets", "maxResults": 50}' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

### Cost estimate

This actor calls a lightweight JSON API with no browser overhead. It charges $0.02 per run (start fee, based on its 4 GB memory allocation) plus $0.002 per result scraped. 100 results costs about $0.22; 1,000 results about $2.02. A run's usage cost only settles after it reports SUCCEEDED.

### Tips

- Use `platform: "2dehands"` to scrape Belgian listings from 2dehands.be
- Combine `location` + `distanceKm` for local market analysis
- The 35 category options cover everything from cars to electronics to real estate
- Works without proxies but you can add them for extra reliability

### Limitations

- The API returns a maximum of 5,000 results per query
- Some fields (condition, delivery method) may be empty if the seller didn't fill them in
- Data is scraped from the internal API and may change without notice
- Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly

  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,studio-amba/marktplaats-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
