Press Start. The example is already filled in.

Scrape Gumtree classified listings from UK and AU search URLs — title, price with currency, location, description, and listing URL. Click Start on the prefilled London bicycle search (maxItems 5) or paste your own search URLs (NZ/ZA: paste full site URLs; keyword builder is UK/AU only).

Unofficial. This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by Gumtree (Adevinta). It reads public search and listing pages only — no login, no paywall bypass.

Drop-in input for memo23/gumtree-cheerio (startUrls, gumtreeSearch*, includePhoneDetails, enrichEmails). Phone/email flags stay off on the cheap first run. Named-person seller phones and emails are not harvested by default (legal). sellerName / poster identity from the competitor payload is omitted.

Why use this Gumtree scraper?

• 🇬🇧 UK search cards + AU start URLs; NZ/ZA via pasted URLs
• 💷 Price kept with currency (GBP on gumtree.com)
• 🔑 Drop-in input keys for memo23/gumtree-cheerio
• 🛡️ Public pages only — no login

How to fill the form (first run)

1. Open Input — Gumtree search or listing URLs is a London bicycle search; Maximum listings = 5.
2. Click Start (leave phone/email options off unless you need public contact fields only).
3. Optional: paste your own Gumtree search URL, or clear URLs and use Keyword + Location name with Gumtree country site = UK.
4. Open Dataset for GBP price, location, title, and ad URL.

How to scrape Gumtree listings

Profile: bakos_bence on Apify

Actor ID: bakos_bence/gumtree-listings

Dashboards: connect Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio, or Qlik to the dataset API — see Export to Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio & Qlik near the end. AI agents: paste this Actor’s Store page URL into an Apify-capable agent (MCP / Claude / Cursor with Apify), create an Apify account and API token once, and the agent can run the Actor and wire up the output.

Export to Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio & Qlik

After a run, rows live in an Apify dataset. You can download JSON/CSV/Excel from the Dataset tab, or point BI tools at a CSV URL that refreshes when you scrape again.

Prefer the token in the URL (token=) — most tools only need “open this link as CSV”, with no custom headers.

Build a refreshable CSV URL

1. In Apify Console, open Settings → Integrations and copy an API token.
2. Save this Actor as a Task (optional but best for dashboards), run or schedule it once so there is a successful run.
3. Use the latest successful task run URL (replace TASK_ID and YOUR_TOKEN):

https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-tasks/TASK_ID/runs/last/dataset/items?format=csv&clean=true&status=SUCCEEDED&token=YOUR_TOKEN

Or, from any finished run, open the Dataset tab, copy the dataset ID, and use:

https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?format=csv&clean=true&token=YOUR_TOKEN

Anyone with that URL can read the data — treat it like a password. For recurring dashboards, prefer the actor-tasks/…/runs/last/… form so refresh always hits the newest successful scrape.

Power BI

1. Open Power BI Desktop → Home → Get data → Web.
2. Paste the CSV URL (including token=).
3. When asked how to sign in, choose Anonymous → Connect.
4. Confirm the preview is a table (CSV). Load or Transform data as needed.
5. Publish / schedule refresh in the Power BI service using the same URL (task runs/last keeps it current after each scrape).

401: token missing/wrong, or you did not pick Anonymous.

Tableau

1. Install Tableau’s REST API connector from Tableau Exchange (Desktop 2023.3+).
2. Connect → To a Server → REST API.
3. Paste the CSV URL (including token=). Set response format to CSV.
4. If the connector asks for auth and the token is already in the URL, leave credentials empty / anonymous; otherwise paste the same token as a Bearer access token.
5. Create an extract. Refresh the extract after scheduled Task runs (or point at runs/last so each refresh loads the latest success).

Plain Text file connect still works if you download CSV from the Dataset tab once — use REST when you want repeatable refresh.

Looker Studio

Looker Studio has no strong built-in “private CSV API” connector. Use Google Sheets as the bridge:

1. Create a Google Sheet. In A1 enter:

=IMPORTDATA("https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-tasks/TASK_ID/runs/last/dataset/items?format=csv&clean=true&status=SUCCEEDED&token=YOUR_TOKEN")

2. Wait until columns fill (Sheets refreshes IMPORTDATA periodically).
3. In Looker Studio → Create → Report → Google Sheets → select that spreadsheet / tab.
4. Build the report. After each Actor/Task run, refresh the Sheet (or wait for IMPORTDATA) then refresh the Looker data source.

One-off alternative: Dataset tab → download CSV → Looker Studio File upload.

Qlik

REST connector (refreshable):

1. In Qlik Cloud / Qlik Sense → Add data → REST (or create a REST connection in the Data load editor).
2. URL = the CSV URL including token=. Method GET.
3. Set the expected response type to CSV (or use format=json and JSON mode).
4. Test connection, pick the table, Add / Load.
5. Reload the app after scheduled scrapes; with runs/last, each reload pulls the latest successful dataset.

Files: Dataset tab → download CSV → Add data → upload the file (fine for a single snapshot).
