Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Carousell Scraper — Marketplace Listings for SG, MY, HK & More > Scrapes marketplace listings from [Carousell](https://www.carousell.sg/), Southeast Asia's largest consumer-to-consumer platform. Returns listing details, pricing, condition, seller profiles, location, and engagement metrics as clean JSON — across all eight Carousell country domains. Carousell runs 30M+ listings across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, and Indonesia. It's the eBay of Southeast Asia, and the site sits behind a Cloudflare managed challenge. This scraper gets through it — a hardened browser plus residential proxy — and reads listings straight from the embedded page data, so the output is structured, not screen-scraped guesswork. Search a keyword, pick a country, and it paginates the results with full seller enrichment. ### What You Can Do With Carousell Data - **Price research** — track what a product sells for secondhand across SG, MY, HK, and five more markets. - **Resale and arbitrage** — find underpriced listings, sort by price low-to-high, watch condition and negotiability. - **Seller intelligence** — rating, review count, response rate, and join date for every listing's seller. - **Market sizing** — measure listing volume and engagement (views, likes) by category and country. - **Lead generation** — surface active sellers in a category you sell into. ### Who Uses This Resellers, e-commerce analysts, pricing teams, market researchers, and anyone tracking secondhand demand in Southeast Asia. Brand-protection teams use it to spot grey-market listings. ### Input | Field | What it does | |-------|--------------| | `searchQuery` | Keyword(s) to search (e.g. `iphone 15`, `vintage jacket`). Required. | | `country` | Which Carousell domain — SG, MY, HK, PH, TW, AU, CA, ID. | | `sortBy` | Newest, Price low-to-high, or high-to-low. | | `maxItems` | Cap the listing count. | ### Output | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `listing_id` / `title` / `description` | Listing identity and copy. | | `price` / `currency` / `is_negotiable` | Price, currency code, and whether it's negotiable. | | `country` / `category` / `subcategory` | Market and taxonomy. | | `condition` | New, Like New, Good, Fair, Poor. | | `location` / `meetup_locations` / `mailing_available` | Where it is and how it ships. | | `seller_username` / `seller_id` / `seller_join_date` | Seller identity. | | `seller_rating` / `seller_review_count` / `seller_response_rate` | Seller reputation. | | `views` / `likes` / `posted_at` / `bumped_at` | Engagement and timing. | | `image_urls` / `listing_url` | Images (pipe-separated) and the source link. | Two dataset views ship with it — Listing Overview and Full Listing. ### How It Works 1. Enter a search query and pick a country domain. 2. The scraper clears Cloudflare in-browser (a hardened, fingerprint-resistant browser) on a residential proxy, then loads the search results from that same cleared session. 3. Listings are read from the page's embedded JSON store and enriched with seller details. 4. It paginates up to your `maxItems`, then writes the dataset — export as JSON, CSV, or Excel. ### FAQ **How do I scrape Carousell listings?** Enter a search keyword, choose a country, and run the actor. It returns matching listings with price, condition, seller reputation, and engagement metrics. **Which countries are supported?** All eight Carousell domains: Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, and Indonesia. **Does it get past Carousell's Cloudflare protection?** Yes. The actor clears Cloudflare's managed challenge in-browser with a residential proxy before reading listings, so there's no separate cookie to go stale. **Can I get seller ratings and response rates?** Every listing carries the seller's rating, review count, response rate, and join date. ### Need More Features?
