Karrot Listings Extractor

Karrot Listings Extractor is a Karrot marketplace scraper that pulls secondhand listings from karrotmarket.com search results. Give it a keyword and a locality (or paste a search URL straight from your browser) and it returns structured data for every listing it finds: title, price, photos, seller profile, category, coordinates, and engagement numbers like views and watch counts.

Karrot (known as Danggeun in Korea) is one of the largest local buy-and-sell apps in North America, but it has no public API. This actor fills that gap. It handles pagination on its own and uses built-in bypass infrastructure, so there is nothing to configure.

Use cases

• Price research: see what used Samsung TVs actually sell for in Manhattan before you list yours
• Reseller sourcing: monitor searches for underpriced items in your area and get to them first
• Market analysis: track supply, pricing, and demand signals (views, watchers, chats) for a product category over time
• Lead generation: find active sellers of specific goods in a target region
• Dataset building: collect labeled product photos and descriptions for machine learning projects

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	Samsung	Keyword to search for on Karrot
locality	string	Manhattan	Neighborhood or city to search in
startUrls	array	-	Full Karrot buy-sell URLs copied from your browser, one per line. Use instead of (or alongside) the keyword
includeDetails	boolean	true	Open each listing page for all photos, the full description, seller profile, and stats
maxItems	integer	50	Maximum listings to save per run (up to 1000)
requestTimeoutSecs	integer	30	Per-request timeout in seconds

You need either a searchQuery or at least one entry in startUrls. Everything else is optional.

Example input

{
    "searchQuery": "Samsung",
    "locality": "Manhattan",
    "includeDetails": true,
    "maxItems": 50
}

Or with a URL copied from the Karrot website, including its location filters:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.karrotmarket.com/buy-sell/all/?locality=Manhattan&search=Samsung"
    ],
    "maxItems": 100
}

Output

Each listing becomes one dataset item:

Field	Type	Description

listingStatus	string	ongoing, reserved, or closed
thumbnailUrl	string	Main photo
imageUrls	array	All photos in full resolution (with details on)
listingDescription	string	Full seller-written description (with details on)
categoryName	string	Karrot category
locationName	string	Neighborhood shown on the card
latitude / longitude	number	Trading location coordinates (with details on)

Fields marked "with details on" are filled when includeDetails is enabled. With it off, you still get the core listing card data (title, price, status, thumbnail, location) and runs finish much faster.

How it works

1. Resolves your locality name to map coordinates and builds the same search URL the Karrot site uses, so results always come from the area you asked for. URLs you paste are used as-is
2. Loads the search results and walks through result pages until it reaches your maxItems limit or runs out of listings
3. With includeDetails on, opens each listing page to collect photos, the full description, seller info, and engagement stats
4. Deduplicates listings across pages and saves each one to the dataset

A run with details enabled makes one request per listing plus one per results page, so 50 listings means roughly 52 page loads. Turn includeDetails off when you only need prices and titles at scale.

Tips

• Listings are local by nature. The same search in Brooklyn and Manhattan returns different results, so run one search per area you care about.
• readsCount, watchesCount, and chatRoomsCount are decent demand signals. High views with an ongoing status often means the item is overpriced.
• Prices come back as strings because sellers sometimes list at 0 (free items) or leave the price open.
