Carousell Listings Scraper

Extract public marketplace listings from Carousell search pages.

Use this actor to collect listing URLs, titles, prices, sellers, conditions, images, buyer-protection flags, and timestamps from Carousell markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and global pages.

What does Carousell Listings Scraper do?

Carousell Listings Scraper opens public Carousell search or category pages and saves visible listing cards into an Apify dataset.

It helps you turn Carousell search results into structured data for resale sourcing, marketplace monitoring, price comparisons, and lead discovery.

Who is it for?

Marketplace resellers use it to monitor new deals.

Sourcing teams use it to track used-goods supply.

Price analysts use it to collect comps for consumer electronics, furniture, bikes, fashion, luxury goods, and more.

Local commerce teams use it to watch seller activity and category inventory.

Why use this actor?

Carousell pages are dynamic and protected by Cloudflare.

This actor uses a browser workflow with Apify Proxy support and extracts fields from real rendered listing cards.

You get a clean dataset instead of manually copying search results.

3. Keep the market set to Singapore for the default example.

Tips for better results

Use specific search terms.

Prefer iphone 15 pro over phone when monitoring a product model.

Use startUrls when you already applied filters on Carousell.

Keep result limits realistic.

Run recurring tasks to monitor new listings over time.

Proxy guidance

Carousell commonly challenges direct and datacenter traffic.

Residential proxy is the recommended default.

Datacenter proxy is available as an advanced option, but it may return a Cloudflare verification page instead of listings.

Integrations

Export datasets to Google Sheets for price tracking.

Send JSON to a pricing pipeline for comps analysis.

Connect with Make or Zapier to notify buyers when new listings match a keyword.

Use Apify API webhooks to trigger downstream enrichment.

Legality and responsible use

This actor extracts publicly visible information from Carousell pages.

Respect Carousell terms, privacy rules, and applicable laws.

Do not use scraped data for spam, harassment, or unlawful profiling.

Reduce run frequency and result volume when you do not need large datasets.

Troubleshooting

If a run returns zero results, try a broader keyword or a Carousell search URL that visibly has listings.

If the actor reports a security verification page, switch proxyType back to residential and retry with a lower maxItems.

If some optional fields are null, the field was not visible in the search card without opening detail pages.

FAQ

Why does the actor use residential proxy by default?

Carousell commonly serves Cloudflare verification to direct and datacenter traffic. Residential proxy gives the actor the best chance to load public listing cards.

Can it scrape full listing detail pages?

This first version focuses on search-card data because opening every detail page is slower, more expensive, and more likely to trigger anti-bot checks.

Which Carousell markets are supported?

Keyword searches support Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and global Carousell domains.

Limitations

The actor extracts search-card data, not full private seller details.

Listing descriptions and exact location are often not visible on search cards.

The Carousell UI can change; selectors may need updates if card markup changes.
