What a Kleinanzeigen scraper API does

German classifieds price the way people speak, not the way parsers like: an amount, "VB" for Verhandlungsbasis (open to offers), or "Zu verschenken" for free. This collector keeps the raw price text on every ad and adds a parsed price_value — left null for free and non-numeric forms so a giveaway never counts as a €0 sale — plus a boolean negotiable that records the VB flag on its own.

Placement is separated from content. Promoted listings are marked with is_topad instead of being silently mixed into the ranking, and the location is returned both as the on-card string and as a clean German zip, so you can group a search by postcode without re-parsing text.

What one ad looks like

Every delivered ad carries these fields. Nullable means the source did not publish it — the field stays empty instead of being guessed.

Field	Type	What it holds
`rank`	integer	1-based position.
`ad_id`	string · nullable	Ad id.
`title`	string	Ad title.
`url`	string · nullable	Ad URL.
`price`	string · nullable	Price as shown ("3.999 €", "VB", "Zu verschenken").
`price_value`	number · nullable	Parsed price (null for free/non-numeric).
`negotiable`	boolean	"VB" (negotiable) flag.
`location`	string · nullable	ZIP + city as shown.
`zip`	string · nullable	German ZIP code.
`date`	string · nullable	Listing date as shown.
`description`	string · nullable	Description excerpt.
`thumbnail`	string · nullable	First photo.
`is_topad`	boolean	Promoted top-ad flag.

What people build with the Kleinanzeigen scraper API

Three shapes of work this endpoint was designed around.

Group ads by ZIP to see where a category is thick or thin before you buy or list.

Deal discovery

Filter for free "Zu verschenken" items or fresh listings by date within a keyword.

Kleinanzeigen Scraper API versus rolling your own

The differences that actually cost time when you build this in-house.

	DIY scraper	This collector
VB / free prices	Parsed as 0 or dropped	Raw text kept, value null, negotiable flagged
Top ads	Blended into the results	Marked with is_topad
Location	One string to split yourself	City string and German ZIP separated

FAQ

Questions we get about the Kleinanzeigen scraper API.

Something else? Ask us →

Does Kleinanzeigen have a public API?

No open product API — its former eBay-linked interfaces are gone and what remains is aimed at professional sellers. This collector reads the public search results, so a keyword is all it needs.

What does the VB on a price mean?

Verhandlungsbasis — the seller's asking figure is negotiable. The number stays in price and price_value, and negotiable is set true so you can treat those ads differently from fixed-price ones.

Are free items handled?

Yes. "Zu verschenken" ads keep their label in price while price_value stays null, so a giveaway is never mistaken for a zero-euro transaction in your data.

Is there a free Kleinanzeigen scraper API?

Every account gets $2 of credit every month with no card, which is about 2,000 delivered ads on this endpoint at $0.001 each. It renews monthly, and a run that delivers nothing is never billed — so a failed or blocked attempt does not eat the allowance.

How much does one run cost?

Multiply the rows you actually receive by $0.001. A run capped at 100 ads — the maximum for this collector — costs $0.1 if every row comes back, and less when the source has fewer. Volume tiers take up to 30% off, and GET /v1/scraper/collectors returns the price your key actually pays.
