A Simple script to scrape marktplaats, a Dutch Ebay. I scheduled this script nightly, so I got notified on new entries. Which I used when I wanted to buy my first Motorcycle. (Which I found using this script :) )
This is a standalone script, you don't need to install it. It does however have two dependencies: pandas and selenium, which are easily installed using pip.
Furthermore, before you start:
- Get the right geckodriver: every Chrome / Firefox instance needs a different geckodriver
- I'm using Chrome here, change that to your favorite browser
- Go to marktplaats, go to the categories you would like to keep track off and get the URl.
- Modify the
urlswith the respective urls. - Run
python scrape_marktplaats.py
Happy scraping!
Btw, I advice to use a VPN.
