Marktplaats Data Parser & API

Marktplaats is the Netherlands’ dominant general classifieds site — with 1M+ unique car shoppers per month — and its heavy automotive volume is extracted by Carapis through one REST API. Part of the eBay-classifieds lineage now in the Adevinta/Prosus orbit, Marktplaats carries the richest private and dealer car inventory in the Dutch market, and Carapis serves it without you building a scraper.

What is Marktplaats?

Marktplaats is the leading general-classifieds platform in the Netherlands, with a very large vehicles category spanning cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles from both private sellers and dealers. Descended from the eBay classifieds business and now in the Adevinta/Prosus orbit, it attracts 1M+ unique car shoppers per month, making it the dominant source of Dutch private-seller car data.

Market Position

Marktplaats is the Netherlands’ dominant classifieds destination, with 1M+ unique monthly car shoppers and a vehicles category that anchors the Dutch used-car market. Alongside dealer-focused portals such as AutoTrack and AutoScout24.nl, Marktplaats stands out for its private/C2C inventory — vehicles listed directly by owners — giving the fullest view of Dutch consumer-level supply and pricing.

Data Fields Available

Carapis extracts a structured record from each Marktplaats car listing:

• Vehicle identity — make, model, model year
• Specification — fuel type, transmission
• Condition — mileage
• Pricing — listed price
• Listing context — seller type (private vs dealer), location, photo gallery

The private-seller depth and seller-type flag make Marktplaats valuable for analysing the C2C half of the Dutch market.
