Overview

Scrape UK classified ads from Gumtree into clean, structured JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. Search by keyword, category and location — or paste specific ad URLs — and the Gumtree Scraper returns one tidy row per listing: title, price, location, attributes, image, category, ad ID and listing URL. Perfect for market research, price monitoring, comparables, deal-hunting and lead generation across cars, property, jobs, pets and everything Gumtree sells.

Whether you are tracking used car prices, watching the property to rent market, sourcing for-sale bargains, or building a dataset of local classified ads, this actor turns Gumtree search pages into a ready-to-use spreadsheet in minutes.

What does the Gumtree Scraper do?

This actor turns Gumtree search results into a structured dataset. Give it one or more search keywords, choose a category (or search all categories), optionally set a location, and it walks every page of results and collects each ad with clean fields. Because different categories show different details (a car lists year, mileage, fuel and engine size; a flat lists bedrooms and price; a phone lists model and condition), the actor captures those extra details in a flexible attributes field so it works across every Gumtree category without configuration.

Need the full ad? Turn on Fetch full ad details (or paste Ad URLs directly) and the scraper opens each ad's own page to collect the full description, complete image gallery, detailed attributes and posted date.

What data can you get?

Field	Description
`adId`	Gumtree ad reference number.
`title`	Ad title.
`price`	Price as a number, when shown.

`category`	The category the ad was searched in.
`query`	The search keyword the ad was found with.

Input

Field	Type	Description
`searchQueries` Search keywords	array	One or more keywords to search Gumtree for (e.g. 'bmw', 'iphone', 'sofa'). Each keyword is searched separately and paginated automatically. Combine with Category and Location to narrow results. Leave empty if you only want to browse a whole Category/Location,
`category` Category	string · all, cars-vans-motorbikes, for-sale, property, flats-houses, jobs…	Restrict the search to a Gumtree category. Choose 'All categories' to search everything. Default: `"all"`
`location` Location	string	Optional. Restrict results to a UK location, e.g. 'london', 'manchester', 'birmingham'. Leave empty to search the whole UK.
`productUrls` Ad URLs	array	Optional. Paste one or more Gumtree ad page URLs to fetch their full details directly (title, price, description, full image gallery, attributes and posted date). Use this when you already have specific ads you want to enrich.
`fetchDetails` Fetch full ad details	boolean	Also open each ad's own page to collect the full description, image gallery, detailed attributes and posted date. This makes runs slower but returns richer data. Default: `false`
`maxItemsPerQuery` Max items per keyword	integer	Maximum number of ads to collect for each search keyword (0 = no limit). Default: `100`
`maxItems` Max items (overall)	integer	Overall cap across all keywords (0 = no limit; collect everything the searches return). Default: `0`
`maxConcurrency` Max concurrency	integer	How many ad detail pages to fetch in parallel when fetching full details or ad URLs. Default: `5`
