blocket-toolkit

Search all of Blocket.se from the terminal: general items (torget), cars, boats and motorcycles, with clean JSON output that is easy to pipe into other tools or hand to an LLM.

Built on top of the blocket-api Python package. Published to PyPI with PEP 740 attestations generated by GitHub Actions.

Features

• Everything on Blocket: torget, cars, boats, motorcycles and full ad details.
• Full filter surface: category + subcategory, all 21 regions, price, year, milage, horsepower, colour, gearbox, wheel drive, length, engine volume, brand/model.
• AI-friendly output: compacted, flat JSON by default; jsonl and text table when you want them.
• Self-documenting enums: every category, subcategory, region, brand and model can be listed or resolved by name or by Blocket's internal id.
• Pagination: --page, -n/--limit, or --all.
• Ships with an Agent Skill so an AI agent can drive it.

Install

uv tool install blocket-toolkit          # or: pip install blocket-toolkit

From a checkout:

git clone https://github.com/dojje/blocket-toolkit
cd blocket-toolkit
uv venv && uv pip install -e '.[dev]'

Use it as an agent skill

skills/blocket-toolkit/SKILL.md is an Agent Skills package, so an agent can pick up the tool and drive it on its own.

gh skill install dojje/blocket-toolkit blocket-toolkit   # GitHub CLI 2.90+
npx skills add dojje/blocket-toolkit                    # npx skills

Claude Code, through the bundled plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add dojje/blocket-toolkit
/plugin install blocket-toolkit@dojje-skills

Anywhere else: clone the repo and symlink skills/blocket-toolkit into your agent's skills directory (~/.config/opencode/skills/, ~/.claude/skills/ or ~/.agents/skills/). The skill needs the blocket-toolkit command on PATH.

Quick start

blocket-toolkit search "kindle" --price-max 800 --sort price_asc

blocket-toolkit search "grafikkort" -c elektronik_och_vitvaror --sub-category datorer -n 5

blocket-toolkit cars --model volvo --year-min 2018 --mileage-max 12000 --sort mileage_asc

blocket-toolkit boats --type segelbat_motorseglare --length-min 30

blocket-toolkit mc --model yamaha --engine-min 600 --price-max 80000

blocket-toolkit ad 20851738 --type recommerce

Every command accepts -o json|jsonl|table (default json).

Commands

Run blocket-toolkit <command> --help for the full filter list.

Common flags

--price-min/--price-max and --newer-than are applied client-side for torget, because Blocket's general search endpoint has no server-side price filter. For cars, boats and motorcycles the price range is sent to the API.

Output shape

Search commands return:

{
  "page": 1,
  "last_page": 20,
  "total": 1187,
  "count": 40,
  "items": [
    {
      "id": 20851738,
      "heading": "Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen",
      "price": 750,
      "location": "Stockholm",
      "url": "https://www.blocket.se/annons/20851738",
      "image_url": "https://...",
      "timestamp": 1700000000000,
      "published_at": "2023-11-14T22:13:20+00:00"
    }
  ]
}

ad returns the full payload for a single listing.

Finding valid filter values

blocket-toolkit categories -o table
blocket-toolkit subcategories -c elektronik_och_vitvaror -o table
blocket-toolkit locations -o table
blocket-toolkit car-options -o table

Values are resolved case-insensitively and accept spaces or dashes, so ELEKTRONIK_OCH_VITVAROR, elektronik och vitvaror and 0.93 are all valid.

Development

uv venv && uv pip install -e '.[dev]'
pytest                 # unit tests (no network)
pytest -m live         # smoke tests against the real Blocket API

Notes and limitations

• Blocket has no official public API; this uses the same internal endpoints as the website. Be gentle: don't hammer it with --all --max-pages 200.
• Torget's search endpoint does not accept a result count, so -n/--limit and --price-* are applied after fetching.
• ad for car/boat/mc scrapes the mobility page and returns somewhat less structured data than recommerce.

• blocket-api by dunderrrrrr, the underlying API wrapper.
• Blocket.se, obviously, for the data.
