Best Leboncoin Scrapers of 2026 [No-Code + API]

⚡ 30-Second Summary

1. I bought the paid plan of every dedicated Leboncoin scraper and ran the same job through each one... the same real-estate search, multiple runs, then counted exactly what came back on data, usability, speed, cost, scalability, and support
2. lobstr.io is the best overall pick (8.5/10). It's the only tool that hands you the actual seller phone number in the same run as the full listing, the only one that returns a full seller profile, the only one that auto-switches between your Leboncoin accounts when one gets logged out, and the cheapest at scale ($2 per 1k without phone, $5 with). Pick it for lead generation and high-volume monitoring. Trade-off: it's the slowest per worker (3-4 listings/min), a deliberate anti-ban choice you buy back with Slots
3. Piloterr is the specialist runner-up (7.2/10). Fastest of the three at 20 listings/min, the cheapest entry price ($5.4 per 1k including ad details), a clean API with good docs and an MCP, plus the richest geo and image data. Pick it for fast, code-first listing and geo pipelines. Trade-off: no phone numbers at all, no seller reputation, and no no-code UI
4. Apify is the fast no-code third place (5.5/10). Quicker than lobstr.io at 12 listings/min, a clean actor UI, and the deepest integration catalog. Pick it for a fast one-off if you already live on Apify. Trade-off: it's the leanest data of the three (~74 fields), returns no seller reputation, drops the description entirely, has no account auto-switch, and bills a $50/mo rental
5. This guide breaks down what each tool actually returns, where each one quietly falls short, and which one fits your job
6. Didn't make the cut: DIY Python scripts, Chrome extensions, general-purpose scrapers like Bright Data and Zyte, and the single-digit-user Apify actors. Reasons at the end

If you've tried to pull Leboncoin listings at any real scale, you already know it fights back.

There's no official API for reading listing data, so scraping is the only way in.

That leaves very few tools that can actually scrape it safely and at scale. Most get your accounts banned, stall the moment one logs out, or quietly break.

Most "best Leboncoin scraper" lists are recycled marketing. Nobody actually runs the same job through every tool and counts what comes back.

So I did. I tested every dedicated Leboncoin scraper on the same real-estate search, multiple runs each, found the 3 that scrape safely and at scale, and measured them field by field.

Just tell me which one

That's the snapshot. Here's the full scorecard it's built on, with every criteria and every measured number side by side.

How the scores work: each pillar is rated 0-10 from the tests below, and a tool's overall is the average of the six, with Data counted at its quality score (for a scraper, clean, usable data beats raw field count). For lobstr.io that's (9 + 4 + 9 + 10 + 9 + 10) / 6 = 8.5.

If you just want the quick answer, here it is.

Want the receipts behind every pick? Keep reading. But first, the question worth settling before you scrape any French site... is it even legal?

Is scraping Leboncoin legal?

Does Leboncoin allow it? No.

In fact it actively takes measures to stop it... robots.txt forbids automated access, the terms prohibit extracting its content, and bot mitigation blocks scripts on sight.

But does that make it illegal? Not necessarily, as long as you stay inside GDPR and French law and don't hammer the site.

1. Scraping non-substantial data for internal use is generally allowed
2. Republishing or commercially distributing Leboncoin's data is off limits... a scraper was fined €50,000 in Entreparticuliers v. Leboncoin (2021), and French database rights (article L342-3 of the Code de la propriété intellectuelle) back that up
3. Seller PII like phone numbers and emails is personal data under GDPR, so you need a lawful basis to collect it

OK, with the rules on the table, let's get into the tools.

How did I choose the best Leboncoin scrapers?

Before testing anything, I went where the complaints live... social media, scraping communities, and forums... to find where people actually get stuck with Leboncoin.

The pattern repeats. Someone rolls their own scraper, it works for a week, then the bot mitigation eats it.

Then they try to pull phone numbers and the account gets logged out or banned.

Or they grab a cheap tool and the data comes back shallow and inconsistent.

Based on that research, here are the six criteria I scored every tool on, the same six I break each one down on below.

1. Data ... quality, consistency, and which real data points come back per listing. I stripped the plumbing (internal IDs, run metadata, the search input echoed back onto every row) so no tool gets credit for noise, and I collapsed duplicate field representations so a renamed field doesn't get counted twice. Then I cross-checked disputed fields value-by-value across all datasets
2. Usability ... how fast you get from a URL to data, whether filters are clean UI fields or hand-crafted URL params, and what happens when a Leboncoin account drops mid-run
3. Speed ... listings pulled per minute, measured across multiple runs, at both the no-phone and with-phone tiers
4. Cost ... normalized to cost per 1,000 listings, at entry and at scale, with rental fees, compute layers, and blockage overhead folded in
5. Scalability ... how far each tool scales with concurrency, and what the real ceiling looks like under Leboncoin's limits
6. Customer support ... what channels exist, who actually answers, and whether anyone can fix the scraper when Leboncoin breaks it

To compare them cleanly, field by field, I pointed all of them at the same real-estate search... so the field counts you'll see are the exact same ads pulled by each tool, side by side.

One honest caveat on the counts: the tools returned slightly different sets from that search... lobstr.io 59 listings, Piloterr 58, and Apify 62 rows for 58 unique (4 duplicated). lobstr.io and Piloterr came back clean with zero duplicates, and I report each tool's fill rates on its own returned set.

What I left out and why:

1. DIY GitHub scripts. The old open-source leboncoin-api wrappers are deprecated, and any homegrown script dies the moment the bot mitigation shifts. Not a real option for anything serious
2. Chrome extensions. They choke after a few dozen listings and can't touch phone numbers or run unattended
3. General-purpose scrapers like Bright Data or Zyte. They work, but they're not Leboncoin-tuned. You're doing the parsing, the anti-ban, and the account juggling yourself
4. Low-use Apify actors. There are a dozen community Leboncoin actors. I tested the one that actually pulls the most data and stays stable across runs, not the single-digit-user experiments

Then I bought the paid plan of every tool that made the shortlist and ran them all against the same ads, multiple runs each.

Three tools made the cut. Here they are.

Best Leboncoin Scrapers of 2026

1. lobstr.io Leboncoin Search Scrapers

User rating: ⭐ Capterra 5.0 (33 reviews, as of July 2026)

It ships two Leboncoin search scrapers, and this is the one place two columns earn their keep, because the tiers genuinely differ.

Data

The two scrapers return the same listing backbone, so I'll treat them together and call out where the phone tier pulls ahead.

The no-phone Listings Search Export returns ~106 meaningful data points per listing. The Listings & Phone Search Export returns the same set plus the phone number and a fully-populated seller profile, at ~107... the most of any tool here.

But the count isn't the real edge. It's the seller contact and identity data underneath, which no other tool returns at all.

Here's the full field set:

On Leboncoin, where the number is the whole point of a lead, that turns a pile of listings into an actual contact list.

The honest gaps: no favorites count, and no full GeoJSON geometry or extra image renditions, both of which Piloterr has.

Which one should you run?

1. Skip phone with the Listings Search Export for market monitoring, price tracking, or inventory analysis, where you just need listings plus partial seller data... it's faster and drops to $2/1k at scale
2. Turn on phone with the Listings & Phone Search Export for lead gen, where the actual number and the full seller profile are the whole point... $5/1k at scale, at 1 listing/min

Usability

lobstr.io was the easiest of the three to drive. The flow is a simple wizard... Create a Squid, add your search URLs, settings, launch.

Ways to feed it a job:

1. A single Leboncoin search or category URL
2. A search URL you've already filtered on Leboncoin itself... set price, brand, mileage, location, or seller type on the site, copy the URL, and it scrapes exactly that selection
3. Bulk-upload a list of search URLs
4. Listing URLs via the companion listing scraper

Pre-scrape filters:

1. Newer than ... stop scraping once ads cross an age threshold, set as a relative duration (24h, 7d, 2w) or an absolute datetime down to the second, with a timezone setting
2. Max results per run
3. Max results per search URL
4. Max pages

Where it pulls clear of the pack is account handling, and on Leboncoin this is the whole ballgame. Leboncoin constantly logs out and blocks accounts, especially when you're revealing phone numbers. lobstr.io is the only tool here that plans for it:

1. Connect as many Leboncoin accounts as you want to a single run
2. When one account logs out, it auto-switches to the next instead of stopping
3. Smart limits and cooldown periods keep accounts from getting permanently banned
4. If every account logs out, the run pauses until you resync, instead of dying
5. Sync accounts with a Chrome extension or API endpoints, no manual cookie wrangling

On top of that you get proper instance management inside the Squid, a live progress console with per-run timestamps, a daily credit cap with no overage, and built-in scheduling for ongoing monitoring.

It's also part of a full Leboncoin suite.

Speed

This is lobstr.io's one real weakness.

On a single Slot it does 3 to 4 listings per minute without phone, dropping to 1 per minute with phone reveals on. A 10,000-listing job at 3/min is about 55 hours on one Slot.

The cause is deliberate. lobstr.io pauses 30 to 60 seconds between pages to stay under Leboncoin's radar... without those pauses the raw rate is north of 100 listings per minute.

It's trading speed for not getting your accounts banned.

The slow per-worker speed is real, but it's the one weakness you can simply buy your way out of with Slots (more on that under Scalability).

Cost

lobstr.io runs on a credit-based monthly subscription. 1 credit = 1 listing, with no overage charges.

1. Without phone: $8 / 1K at entry, dropping to $2 / 1K at scale
2. With phone: $20 / 1K at entry, dropping to $5 / 1K at scale

At scale, a million listings runs $2,000 without phone and $5,000 with. That phone figure is less than a third of what Apify charges at the same volume.

The billing is also the cleanest of the three... no rental fee, no separate compute layer, no overage surprises.

Scalability

This is lobstr.io's real moat.

A single Slot running 24/7 pulls a modest ~130k listings/month without phone (~43k with phone). I keep the headline at one Slot on purpose, to give you the most conservative number.

Then you scale it with Slots. Each Slot is another bot pulling in parallel, and a single Squid runs up to 20.

1. 1 Slot: ~130k/month without phone, ~43k with phone
2. 20 Slots (one Squid): ~2.6M/month without phone, ~860k with phone
3. 100 Slots (top plan, spread across Squids): ~13M/month without phone, ~4.3M with phone

So the tool that's slowest on a single worker has the highest ceiling on the list once you run a full Squid. A 10,000-listing job that takes ~55 hours on one Slot drops to under 3 hours across 20.

Customer support

Support is via live chat and email, and it's the most-praised part of the product.

Users consistently call out the team's technical depth and speed, and it carries a 5.0 rating on Capterra across 33 reviews... the strongest, most credible score in this comparison.

Best for: lead generation and prospecting on Leboncoin (you need the phone numbers), high-volume monitoring, and anyone who needs their scraping to survive Leboncoin's account logouts.

2. Piloterr

User rating: ⭐ Capterra 4.8 (33 reviews, as of July 2026)

You wire it into your own code or have an LLM build a thin UI for you (which is what I did).

Data

Piloterr scrapes the ad detail view, so it carries the favorites count and full ad-view attributes, plus two things that are uniquely its own... and it returns ~101 meaningful data points once you collapse its 2x delivery (it returns each ad as both a search copy and a details copy).

If you need precise geo data (full GeoJSON geometry) or every image size (thumbnails through large), Piloterr is the most complete. Its attribute set is actually the broadest of the three on raw count, and every attribute carries a French label.

Usability

Being an API, it's not no-code in the traditional sense, but the docs are genuinely good and there's an MCP, so you can copy the docs into an LLM and stand up a UI in minutes.

Ways to feed it a job:

1. A Leboncoin search URL, including a filtered one copied straight from Leboncoin's search (Search endpoint)
2. Smart params... keyword, category, seller type, zipcodes... via a dedicated endpoint
3. A listing URL or ID for ad details (Ad endpoint)

Pre-scrape filters:

1. Max pages
2. Max listings

The smart-param category search sounds great on paper but was my least favorite part... it can return inaccurate results and isn't documented well.

And because it's pure API, there's no instance management, no live console, and no account-protection story. For a developer that's fine, but for anyone wanting a no-code experience, it's a non-starter.

Speed

Piloterr is the fastest single worker at 20 listings per minute, including the ad-details call. A 10,000-listing job is about 8.3 hours.

Since it doesn't do phone, there's no slow second tier to drag it down.

Cost

Piloterr is credit-based and bills only successful requests.

1. Entry: $5.4 / 1K listings including ad details
2. At scale: $4.5 / 1K

That's the cheapest entry price on the list, which makes it attractive for smaller jobs. A million listings at scale is about $4,500... cheaper than Apify, but more than double lobstr.io's $2,000 without phone. And remember it can't do phone at any price.

Scalability

At 20/min running 24/7, the single-worker ceiling is about 864,000 listings/month... the highest single-worker number on the list.

Past that, you scale by running parallel requests, bounded by your plan's credits and Piloterr's API rate limits rather than a Slot or worker model.

There's no built-in concurrency control to lean on, so sustained high volume is on you to orchestrate.

Customer support

Piloterr offers live chat and email, and holds a 4.8 rating on Capterra across 33 reviews.

That's nearly neck-and-neck with lobstr.io, and well clear of Apify. For an API-first product, that's a genuinely strong support story.

Best for: developers and data teams who want a fast, clean API for listing and geo data at a low entry price, and don't need phone numbers or seller reputation.

3. Apify

User rating: ⭐ Apify store 5.0 (just 2 reviews, as of July 2026)... no real track record

There are a dozen Leboncoin actors on it, so I worked through them the obvious way... starting with the ones that had the most monthly active users.

Phone data was the filter that thinned the field fast. Most actors didn't include it at all, and a couple promised phone numbers but never actually returned one.

After burning through several, I landed on the one that carried the most data and stayed stable across runs. That's the one I'm comparing here... and it's community-maintained, which matters when something breaks.

Data

Apify returns ~74 meaningful data points... the leanest set in the test. It's clean and nested-manageable, but the bigger problem is it has no meaningful unique data. Everything it captures, one of the other two also captures, usually better.

Once Leboncoin limits you, you're done, where lobstr.io's multi-account auto-switch just keeps scraping.

Usability

The actor is a clean single-page setup, simpler than Apify's busy general scrapers.

Ways to feed it a job:

1. One or more Leboncoin search URLs, including ones you've already filtered on Leboncoin (price, brand, location) and copied straight from the site
2. Listing URLs for ad details

Pre-scrape filters:

1. Newer than (date only, no time)
2. Max pages
3. Collect ad details (visit page) toggle

The catch is the phone workflow, and it's a real one. You can't have listing details and phone in the same run.

To get both you run details first, then take the listing URLs into a second run, manually wire in your account cookies, and pull phones separately.

And there's no account safety net. You can't connect multiple accounts, there's no auto-switch, and the actor bursts requests rather than pacing them.

So when Leboncoin logs your account out mid-run, the run just stops, and the bursts make a block likelier in the first place.

The cookie setup is undocumented, too. Apify tells you to add your account cookies but never spells out which ones or how, where lobstr.io syncs sessions through a Chrome extension and API endpoints instead.

Where it recovers is the platform around it... built-in scheduling, the deepest integration catalog here (Make, n8n, Zapier, and every major AI/agent tool), and the most export formats. Apify's marketplace also carries a couple of other community Leboncoin actors, but they're third-party and scattered, not a maintained suite.

Speed

12 listings per minute without phone, dropping to 4 per minute with phone... 3x faster than lobstr.io on a single worker either way. A 10,000-listing job without phone takes about 14 hours.

Cost

Apify's billing is the trickiest to pin down. There's a $50/mo actor rental on top of usage, and the usage itself swings with how often Leboncoin blocks you (blocks drive up residential-proxy and compute costs).

1. Without phone: roughly $8 / 1K at a generous 40% block rate, plus the $50/mo rental
2. With phone: roughly $16 / 1K, plus the rental

So a million listings without phone lands near $8,000 (4x lobstr.io's $2,000 at scale), and with phone near $16,000 (more than 3x lobstr.io's $5,000). The rental and the blockage-driven variance make it the hardest to budget.

Scalability

At 12/min on a single run, 24/7, that's about 518,000 listings/month without phone. Solid, but there's no concurrency slider to push past it.

You scale instead by allocating more memory and running parallel jobs... paying for more compute rather than flipping a switch.

The bigger ceiling is practical, not theoretical. With no account auto-switch, a phone run that loses its account just stops, so real-world throughput at the phone tier is capped by how often you're babysitting logins.

Customer support

This is where Apify drops.

The platform has tickets, Discord, and email... but the Leboncoin actor is community-maintained, so Apify's own support can't help with actor-specific problems.

When Leboncoin changes something and the actor breaks, you're waiting on whoever maintains it. And there's no track record to lean on... the actor carries a 5.0 store rating but only 2 reviews, so there's no real signal on reliability over time.

Best for: Apify-native teams grabbing a fast one-off Leboncoin pull... a quick market snapshot or a small job... where you don't need phone numbers, seller reputation, or the description, plus users with platform credits and integration pipelines.

The scrapers that didn't make the list

These aren't bad tools. They're just not dedicated, safe-at-scale Leboncoin scrapers, which is what this list is about.

DIY scripts and Chrome extensions

1. DIY Python or Node scripts die the moment Leboncoin ships a class-name change or a new anti-bot check, and the old open-source leboncoin-api wrappers are deprecated
2. Chrome extensions are handy for grabbing a handful of listings by hand, but they fall over past a few dozen rows, can't reveal phone numbers, and can't be scheduled or scaled

Who they're right for: a one-time, tiny pull where you need 20 listings and don't care if it breaks next week.

General-purpose platforms and low-use actors

1. General-purpose scrapers like Bright Data or Zyte can technically hit Leboncoin, but none ship a dedicated, Leboncoin-tuned scraper, so you're hand-building the parser, the anti-ban, and the account juggling
2. Low-use Apify actors number a dozen or more, but most don't include phone at all, and the single-digit-user ones aren't stable enough to trust with a real job

Who they're right for: teams already living on Bright Data or Zyte for many sites, who'd rather run one general stack than adopt a dedicated tool.

FAQ

Can you scrape phone numbers from Leboncoin?

What's the best Leboncoin scraper for lead generation?

lobstr.io, because lead gen lives or dies on contact data and account survival. It's the only tool that pairs the actual phone number with a full seller profile in one run, and the only one that auto-switches accounts when Leboncoin logs one out. Apify can technically get phone but stops dead when an account drops.

Which Leboncoin scraper is cheapest?

It depends on volume and whether you need phone. For small no-phone jobs, Piloterr wins on entry price ($5.4/1k). At scale without phone, lobstr.io is cheapest by far... $2/1k vs Piloterr's $4.5 and Apify's ~$8 plus a $50/mo rental. For phone at scale, lobstr.io ($5/1k) is less than a third of Apify's ~$16/1k.

Which is the fastest Leboncoin scraper?

Piloterr, on a single worker, at 20 listings/min including ad details, ahead of Apify's 12 and lobstr.io's 3-4. But "fastest single worker" and "highest monthly ceiling" aren't the same thing... lobstr.io's Slots push its ceiling to ~13M/month, well past the others.

Which Leboncoin scraper is best for seller reputation data?

lobstr.io. Its Listings & Phone Search Export is the only tool that returns a full seller profile... registration date, reply rate and response time, live presence, total ads, verification badges, and the feedback breakdown across categories. Piloterr and Apify capture only the seller's headline rating, not the detailed reputation layer.

Does Leboncoin have an official API?

No. Leboncoin doesn't publish a public API for reading listing data, and its robots.txt forbids automated access. Any "API" you see is advertiser tooling for posting ads, not reading it... so a scraper is the only route.

Is it legal to scrape Leboncoin?

It depends on what and how. Aggregate, non-personal data for internal use is broadly tolerable, but republishing or commercially redistributing listings has already lost in French court. Seller PII like phone numbers falls under GDPR, so collect it with a lawful basis, don't scrape behind logins, and don't hammer the site.

Can I scrape Leboncoin at scale (1M+ listings/month)?

Comfortably on lobstr.io. A single Squid running 20 Slots does ~2.6M/month, and the top plan reaches ~13M account-wide. Piloterr tops out near 864k on one worker and Apify near 518k, both scaling only by running parallel jobs without a clean concurrency control.

Conclusion

That's a wrap on the best Leboncoin scrapers for 2026.

Quick recap of who owns what:

1. lobstr.io owns phone numbers, the full seller profile, account survival, the cheapest price at scale, and the highest ceiling once you add Slots. The default pick for lead gen and anyone serious about Leboncoin at volume. It pays for that with the slowest per-worker speed and no favorites count
2. Piloterr owns raw single-worker speed, the cheapest entry price, the richest geo and image data, and a clean developer API. The pick for code-first pipelines pulling listing and geo data, with no phone and no reputation data on offer
3. Apify owns raw no-code convenience, integration breadth, and slightly faster single-worker speed than lobstr.io. A fine pick for a fast one-off if you already live on Apify, as long as you don't need phone, seller reputation, or the description

This list will keep evolving as these tools ship updates. I'll keep it current.
