2dehands.be / 2ememain.be Scraper

Actor: fatihtahta/2dehands-2ememain-be-scraper

Overview

This Apify actor scrapes detailed listing data from Belgium's two main online marketplaces: 2dehands.be (Dutch) and 2ememain.be (French). It's built for reliability, using a real browser with stealth techniques to avoid detection. Output is structured data suitable for market research, price monitoring, or competitor analysis.

Key Features

• Dual-Platform Support: Scrape both 2dehands.be and 2ememain.be from one actor.
• Flexible Start Points: Initiate scraping by providing search keywords or direct category/search URLs.
• Anti-Block Evasion: Uses playwright-extra with a stealth plugin, header rotation, and proxy support to mimic human browsing.
• Automatic Pagination: Crawls through all available result pages automatically.
• Structured Output: Data is organized into universal fields for all listings and a flexible features object for category-specific details.
• Output Control: Set a maxItems limit to control the number of listings scraped per search.
• Multiple Formats: Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

How to Use

Configure the actor with an input object. The core parameters are:
* searchQueries: An array of keywords to search for (e.g., ["gaming laptop"]).
* startUrls: An alternative to keywords; an array of direct URLs to specific category or search pages.
* domain: The target site: "2dehands.be" or "2ememain.be".
* maxItems: The maximum number of listings to scrape per search/URL.
* proxyConfiguration: Configure Apify Proxy, typically with residential proxy groups for best results.
