Gumtree Scraper - UK Classifieds Data

Scrape listings from Gumtree UK in one run. Paste any Gumtree search-results URL and get clean listing rows with title, price, price period, location, image, listing URL, listing ID and featured status. It works especially well for Gumtree property categories such as flats, houses, rooms, commercial space and parking, and can also be used for other public Gumtree classifieds searches where the same listing-card structure is available. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

What is the Gumtree Scraper?

Gumtree is one of the UK's best-known local classifieds marketplaces. It is used for rentals, property, cars, jobs, furniture, services, local deals and many other categories. This actor turns Gumtree search pages into structured data so you can monitor listings, prices and supply without manually copying search results.

The actor is built for reliability. It reads the server-rendered search-result cards that Gumtree sends in the HTML, rather than using a browser or fighting a private API. That keeps runs fast, cheap and friendly to Apify's daily auto-test requirements. You can apply filters on Gumtree first, copy the resulting URL, and paste it into the actor.

What data does it extract?

Listing identity: Gumtree listing ID, title and direct listing URL.

Price data: displayed price, numeric price, price period such as month or week, and currency.

Location: the location text shown on the Gumtree card.

Media: primary image URL, image alt text and image count when Gumtree shows it.

Promotion signals: featured listing flag.

Source data: the exact search URL/page that produced the listing.

FAQ

Does it work with any Gumtree URL? It is designed for public Gumtree search-result URLs. Property and classifieds category URLs with standard listing cards work best.

Do I need a Gumtree account? No. The actor reads public search pages and does not require a Gumtree login.

Can I filter by category or city? Yes. Apply filters on Gumtree, copy the resulting URL and paste it into searchUrls.

Does it scrape detail pages? This version focuses on search-result cards for speed and reliability. Detail-page crawling can be added later if there is enough demand.

Why is some data missing? Gumtree cards vary by category. Some listings may not show a price, image count or full description in the search results.

Does it use a browser or proxy? No. The tested path uses direct HTTP requests and lxml parsing, making it cheaper and more reliable than browser-based scraping.

Is it legal to scrape Gumtree? Use public data responsibly, respect Gumtree's terms and applicable laws, and avoid spam or unlawful outreach. For compliance-sensitive work, consult your legal team.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Apify schedules can run the same Gumtree search URLs daily, hourly or weekly.
