DBA scraper API

DBA API for Danish classified ads, prices, and ad details

The DBA API is built for price monitoring, resale research and marketplace analytics. The search endpoint returns ads with id, title, city, coordinates, price in DKK, images and publish date, plus facets with hit counts. The listing endpoint returns the description, category path, attributes, all images and the location of one ad. Seller identity and contact data are never returned.

Search ads by keyword, category, price range, region, condition, seller type, ad type and shipping.

Sort by relevance, newest, oldest or price and page through up to 50 pages of 53 ads.

Read category, region and condition facets with live hit counts.

Open any ad for the description, attributes, images with size and location.

Seller names, phone numbers and other contact details are never returned.

Choose the right DBA API endpoint

Use Ad Search for market coverage

Combine a keyword with category, price and region filters to collect matching ads with prices in DKK, then page with the 1-based page parameter until has_more is false.

Frequently asked questions

No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by DBA. The DBA API returns structured JSON from public ads through a Scrappa API key.

Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. After that, each request costs one credit, which works out to $0.20 to $0.30 per 1,000 requests depending on the credit pack. Failed requests are never billed.

Use the 1-based page parameter, 1 to 50. Each page holds up to 53 ads, so one search reaches about 2,600 ads. The response returns the last page and has_more. A valid empty search is a successful response.

No. An unknown or expired ad id answers a non-billable 404 with error code NOT_FOUND. Only successful 2xx responses are billed.
