# Product Updates — December 2025 > A necessary price adjustment, 2 hot new scrapers for LinkedIn and LaCentrale.fr, and some improvements in Google Maps Leads Scraper. - **Author**: Sasha Bouloudnine - **Published**: 2026-01-26, updated 2026-01-25 (25 Jan 2026) - **Reading time**: 4 min - **Canonical**: https://www.lobstr.io/blog/december-2025 --- __December brought one hard decision and a lot of momentum.__ __We had to adjust Leboncoin scraper pricing__—not an easy decision, but a necessary one. __The good news? We're shipping at speed__. 🚀 LinkedIn Profiles Scraper is finally here, LaCentrale is live, and Google Maps just got sharper. Bad news first, good news after. Here's December. 👇 ## Update #1 – Leboncoin scrapers pricing adjustment __We had to adjust prices on Leboncoin scrapers.__ ![Update #1 – Leboncoin scrapers pricing adjustment](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/image4_53ff0cc976.png "width=1197;height=588") This isn't a decision we made lightly—we didn't have any other choice. Over the past year, Leboncoin has become __exponentially more expensive to scrape reliably__. ### What changed? Leboncoin has been __aggressively tightening automated access restrictions__, almost regularly. What used to work consistently now breaks regularly. Maintaining reliable data collection means constantly rebuilding infrastructure, running new research cycles, and adapting to restrictions that evolve faster than any other platform. The __cost of keeping these scrapers operational has multiplied__—because of the specialized resources required to stay ahead of Leboncoin's increasingly sophisticated automated access restrictions. So we __had to adjust pricing to match what it actually costs__ to keep these scrapers running. __New pricing structure:__ ![Update #1 – Leboncoin scrapers pricing adjustment - What changed?](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/image5_a46577fbba.png "width=1118;height=721") * Export listings – 4 credits per listing ($2 per 1,000 listings) * Get phone number – 6 credits per phone number ($3 per 1,000 phone numbers) * Auto message sender – 20 credits per message ($10 per 1,000 messages) __What hasn't changed and will never change:__ * Complete, accurate data at scale * Full coverage across all categories * No compromises on reliability or data quality We're committed to maintaining these scrapers long-term, not cutting corners to preserve pricing that no longer reflects reality.

The LaCentrale Cars Scraper lets you export all cars from any LaCentrale search URL, across all regions and filters, in one clean run. Each export includes: * Every car from the search results * __80+ data points per listing__ including vehicle specs, pricing, equipment, and history * Complete seller information (name, category, address, verification status, ratings) * Enrichment data (CO2 emissions, AutoViza history, technical specifications, price variations) * France-wide coverage across all makes, models, and categories This lets you analyze market pricing, track inventory trends, enrich automotive datasets, and identify verified sellers at scale.

You'd export everything, then filter manually to identify listings that didn't match your targeted location or category. That cleanup step is now gone. __When Geo Match and Category Match are enabled__, the scraper automatically skips listings that fall outside your defined geographic area or category—before they make it to your output file. ![Update #2 – Two new scrapers released - Category Match + Geo Match filters 🎯](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/image6_b47b805ad4.png "width=469;height=518") What this means: * No post-export filtering for location or category mismatches * No manually checking match columns * No billing for out-of-scope results * Clean, precise datasets that stay strictly within your defined parameters You get exactly what you targeted, nothing more, nothing less. > One more thing: the scraper now __also collects LinkedIn profiles__ from business websites, alongside other social media links.
