Trade Me Scraper (trademe.co.nz)

Collect listings from every part of Trade Me, New Zealand's largest online marketplace, in one actor. Search or paste links across five sections, Marketplace (general goods and auctions), Property, Motors, Jobs and Services, and get clean structured records with prices, locations, photos, listing specifics, and seller feedback.

Why this scraper

• Five sections in one tool: Marketplace, Property, Motors, Jobs, Services. Most tools cover only one.
• Rich records: section-specific fields (bedrooms and land area for property, make, model, year and odometer for motors, salary for jobs) plus common fields shared across every section.
• Seller and member feedback: positive and negative counts, feedback score, join date, and optional individual feedback comments, wherever Trade Me exposes them.
• Two ways to search: keyword plus filters, or paste category, search, and individual listing links.
• Collects results across as many result pages as needed, up to your item limit.
• Optional export of results into the apps you already use through MCP connectors.
• Predictable cost: pay per listing, with an optional detail surcharge only when you turn on full enrichment.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

You can optionally pipe each run's results into the apps you already use through Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors, with no change to the dataset.

1. Authorize a connector under Apify, Settings, API & Integrations (for example Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Export to your apps" input section.
3. For Notion, also set the parent page so each item becomes a page.

The connector receives a condensed, human-readable summary per item (a title plus key fields), while the complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

Notes

Use an Apify account to run the actor. The default connection works well; residential is optional and not required. Run a small maxItems first to preview the shape of the data for your section and filters.
