FAQ

What is Jofogas.hu?

Jofogas.hu is Hungary's largest general classifieds platform, owned by Adevinta (formerly Schibsted). It is the Hungarian equivalent of Craigslist, Marktplaats, or Leboncoin. Millions of Hungarians use it daily to buy and sell used goods across every category imaginable.

What categories are available?

Jofogas covers 14+ main categories: Electronics, Vehicles, Real Estate, Household & Furniture, Clothing, Sports & Leisure, Home & Garden, Animals, Services, Jobs, Kids, Hobby, Appliances, and Business. Each category has dozens of subcategories.

What does "Megegyezes szerint" mean for price?

"Megegyezes szerint" means "by agreement" or "negotiable" — the seller hasn't listed a fixed price. These listings return null for the price field. "Ingyen" means free (price = 0).

Can I filter by location?

Yes, use the location parameter with Hungarian city names. Major cities supported: Budapest, Debrecen, Szeged, Miskolc, Pecs, Gyor, Nyiregyhaza, Kecskemet, Szekesfehervar, and many more. Leave empty to search all of Hungary.

Does this scraper handle anti-bot protection?

Jofogas has moderate anti-bot measures. The scraper uses Playwright (real browser) with fingerprint randomization and Hungarian residential proxies to ensure reliable access. For large-volume runs, the built-in retry mechanism handles temporary blocks.

Limitations

• Phone numbers — Seller phone numbers are hidden behind a click-to-reveal button and are not extracted.
• Full descriptions — Search result pages show truncated descriptions. For full text, individual listing pages would need to be visited.
• Expired listings — Only currently active listings are returned. Jofogas removes expired ads.
• Rate limiting — Very aggressive scraping (5,000+ listings) may trigger temporary blocks. Use moderate concurrency and residential proxies.
• Real estate and vehicles — These categories have dedicated subdomains (ingatlan.jofogas.hu, auto.jofogas.hu) with different page structures. This scraper covers the main site categories.
