🟢 Gumtree Scraper — UK Classifieds Listings

Scrape UK classified ads from Gumtree into clean, structured JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. Search by keyword, category and location — or paste specific ad URLs — and the Gumtree Scraper returns one tidy row per listing: title, price, location, attributes, image, category, ad ID and listing URL. Perfect for market research, price monitoring, comparables, deal-hunting and lead generation across cars, property, jobs, pets and everything Gumtree sells.

Whether you are tracking used car prices, watching the property to rent market, sourcing for-sale bargains, or building a dataset of local classified ads, this actor turns Gumtree search pages into a ready-to-use spreadsheet in minutes.

What does the Gumtree Scraper do?

This actor turns Gumtree search results into a structured dataset. Give it one or more search keywords, choose a category (or search all categories), optionally set a location, and it walks every page of results and collects each ad with clean fields. Because different categories show different details (a car lists year, mileage, fuel and engine size; a flat lists bedrooms and price; a phone lists model and condition), the actor captures those extra details in a flexible attributes field so it works across every Gumtree category without configuration.

Need the full ad? Turn on Fetch full ad details (or paste Ad URLs directly) and the scraper opens each ad's own page to collect the full description, complete image gallery, detailed attributes and posted date.
