The Mobile Search API returns car listings from mobile.de across 10 locales. Pass a search URL, or a make/model code (ms=), optionally with locale and page, and receive structured JSON with prices and pagination.

Piloterr fetches pages via webunlocker and parses Next.js RSC (searchResults.listings[]).

Use each result url or ad_id with Mobile Ad for full listing data.
