Gumtree Australia Scraper

Scrape classified listings and seller information from gumtree.com.au across every vertical — for-sale goods, motors, real estate, jobs and services — in one run. Search by category, location and keyword, or paste any Gumtree URL you have already refined in your browser.

What you get

For every listing:

• Identity & link — id, url, title, description
• Price — price (numeric AUD), priceText, priceType, currency, minimumOfferPrice, previousPriceString, plus flags isFree, isNegotiable, isSwapTrade, isPriceDrop, isDriveAway
• Category — categoryId, categoryName, vertical (motors / property / jobs / services / for-sale)
• Location — location, locationArea, locationState
• Media — images (all photo URLs), imageCount, hasVideo, videos
• Attributes — a flattened attributes object with the listing's category-specific fields (e.g. mileage, body type, transmission for cars; bedrooms/bathrooms for property; pay/type for jobs)
• Motoring extras — carVin, carRecordReportUrl where present
• Seller — sellerName plus a nested seller object (see below)
• Activity — age, numberOfViews, numberOfReplies, numberOfOffers, plus prominence flags isFeatured, isUrgent, isHighlighted, isPremium

Seller & ratings

Each record carries a nested seller object:

"seller": {
  "name": "Coastline Motors",
  "type": "dealer",
  "rating": 4.6,
  "reviewCount": 38,
  "ratingBadges": ["ID_VERIFIED"],
  "ratingDistribution": null,
  "reviews": null
}

About seller reviews. Gumtree publishes an aggregate seller rating only — an overall score (rating), the number of ratings behind it (reviewCount), and any trust badges (ratingBadges). It does not expose the individual buyer reviews (author, review text, dates) or a star-by-star breakdown, so reviews and ratingDistribution are always null. Many private sellers have no rating yet, in which case rating is null and reviewCount is 0.

Scope note. A listing's exact geo (precise suburb, postcode, GPS coordinates) and its full long-form description live only behind Gumtree's bot-managed listing page and are not available from the public data layer, so they are out of scope for this scraper. Each record carries the locality and state Gumtree returns with the search results, plus the search description snippet.

Input

Two modes — pick one:

Search mode — choose a category (All, Cars & Vehicles, Real Estate, Jobs, Services, Home & Garden, Electronics, Pets, and more), a location (any suburb, city, region or state name — e.g. Sydney, Melbourne, NSW), and an optional keyword. Refine with min/max price, sort order (best match, most recent, price, kilometres, year), radius, and ad type (offering / wanted).

URL mode — paste one or more gumtree.com.au search or listing URLs. Every filter you applied on the site (including sub-categories not in the dropdown) is respected, and the scraper walks result pages forward from where the URL starts.

Common options: Max listings, Max result pages per search, a custom dataset name, and optional MCP connectors to pipe results into Notion, Linear, Airtable or Apify.

Notes

• Gumtree serves Australian visitors, so runs use Apify Residential proxy with country = AU by default for reliable access.
• Pricing is pay-per-result — you are charged per listing returned in the dataset.
• Please review Gumtree's Terms of Use and scrape responsibly.
