mobile.de Scraper API

The Piloterr mobile.de Scraper API lets you extract public data from mobile.de as clean, structured JSON — no proxies, headless browsers or HTML parsing to maintain. Endpoints available in production:

Mobile Ad API — Mobile Ad API.
Mobile Search API — Mobile Search API.

Use it for listing monitoring, price benchmarks, stock sourcing or market analytics on second-hand and vehicle marketplaces.

Endpoint	Path	Credits	What you get
Mobile Ad API	`/v2/mobile/ad`	3	Mobile Ad API. Fetch full car listing data from a mobile.de ad URL or numeric id. Returns pricing, specs, images and features via webunlocker.
Mobile Search API	`/v2/mobile/search`	3	Mobile Search API. Same mobile.de inventory for every locale. `locale` sets the language label and ad links, not which cars are returned. (3 credits)

How it works

Create a free Piloterr account and copy your API key from the dashboard.
Send a GET (or POST) request to https://api.piloterr.com/v2/... with the header x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY.
Receive structured JSON — Piloterr handles rendering, proxies, retries and parsing.

export PILOTERR_API_KEY="your-api-key"
pip install requests        # Python
# TypeScript: Node.js 18+ (native fetch), run with `npx tsx file.ts`

Every endpoint accepts both GET (query string) and POST (JSON body with the same fields).

Mobile Ad API

Mobile Ad API. Fetch full car listing data from a mobile.de ad URL or numeric id. Returns pricing, specs, images and features via webunlocker.

GET | POST https://api.piloterr.com/v2/mobile/ad · 3 credits per request · Full reference

Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	✅	Mobile ad URL or numeric ad id.
`locale`	string	—	Language for this ad. The same numeric id stays reachable for fr, es, de, and en.
`return_page_source`	boolean	—	When `true`, return the raw HTML page source as `{"result": "..."}` instead of structured JSON. Defaults to `false`.

Python example

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.piloterr.com/v2/mobile/ad",
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["PILOTERR_API_KEY"]},
    params={
        "query": "455111824",
    },
    timeout=120,
)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()

print(json.dumps(data, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)[:2000])

One API key, hundreds of sources — mobile.de plus many other e-commerce, search and company data endpoints in the Piloterr library.
Any language — plain HTTPS + JSON, with examples for Python, TypeScript, cURL, PHP, C#, Go, Java, Ruby and Node.js.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape mobile.de?

Collecting publicly available data is generally allowed in many jurisdictions, but rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Avoid personal data unless you have a lawful basis, respect the website's terms where they apply, and get legal advice for your specific use case. This is not legal advice.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. Piloterr handles rendering, proxy rotation and retries on its side. You only send an HTTPS request with your x-api-key header and receive JSON.

How much does a request cost?

Credits per call: /v2/mobile/ad 3, /v2/mobile/search 3. See the Piloterr website for plans.

What data does the mobile.de API return?

Each endpoint returns structured JSON: Mobile Ad — url, make, ad_id, model, power, price; Mobile Search — results[], results[].url, results[].make, results[].ad_id, results[].model, results[].power.

How do I paginate mobile.de results?

Use the page parameter and keep requesting while the response indicates more results.

Can I target a specific country or language?

Yes, use locale — see the parameter tables above for accepted values.

Can I get the raw HTML instead of JSON?

Yes. Set return_page_source=true and the response becomes {"result": "..."} with the page source.

Which languages are supported?

Any language that can make an HTTP request. This README shows Python and TypeScript; the examples/ folder contains cURL, PHP, C#, Go, Java, Ruby and Node.js.
