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 ## Gumtree UK Scraper (Apify Actor) Scrape Gumtree.com (UK) listings by keyword, category, location and radius โ€” with price filters, seller type, sort order and optional detailโ€‘page enrichment. #### Example input ```json { "query": "iphone 15", "category": "for-sale", "location": "london", "distance": 30, "minPrice": 200, "maxPrice": 700, "sort": "price_lowest_first", "maxPages": 3, "includeDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "GB" } } ```` ### Output Searchโ€‘only item: ```json { "id": "1485923771", "title": "iPhone 15 Pro 256GB Natural Titanium - Unlocked", "price": "650 GBP", "currency": "GBP", "url": "https://www.gumtree.com/p/iphone/.../1485923771", "image": "https://i.ebayimg.com/.../s-l500.jpg", "location": "Camden, London", "posted_at": "2026-05-23T18:42:00Z", "seller_type": "Private seller" } ``` With `includeDetails: true`: ```json { "description": "Selling my iPhone 15 Pro, immaculate condition...", "attributes": { "condition": "Used", "brand": "Apple", "model": "iPhone 15 Pro", "storage": "256 GB", "network": "Unlocked" }, "latitude": 51.5392, "longitude": -0.1426, "updated_at": "2026-05-24T09:11:00Z", "seller_name": "Tom", "images": ["https://i.ebayimg.com/.../1.jpg", "..."] } ``` # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Free-text search. Leave blank to browse the category by location alone. ## `category` (type: `string`): Gumtree category slug. Examples: 'all', 'for-sale', 'cars', 'bicycles', 'motorbikes', 'pets', 'flats-houses', 'furniture', 'phones', 'electronics', 'jobs'. Full list: https://www.gumtree.com/all ## `location` (type: `string`): Town, city or postcode to centre the search on. Examples: 'london', 'manchester', 'SW1A 1AA'. Leave blank for nationwide. ## `distance` (type: `string`): Only used when a location is provided. Pick the closest match to your needs. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): How many search pages to fetch. Gumtree typically shows ~20 results per page. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Filter out listings priced below this number. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Filter out listings priced above this number. ## `sellerType` (type: `string`): Restrict to private sellers or trade (business) sellers. ## `sort` (type: `string`): How Gumtree orders results. ## `urgentOnly` (type: `boolean`): Restrict to listings flagged as 'urgent' by the seller. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): If true, the actor visits each listing page to extract the full description, posting date, attributes (mileage, bedrooms, condition, etc.), GPS and gallery images. This roughly multiplies runtime by N listings. ## `maxListings` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many listings have been pushed. 0 = no cap. ## `impersonate` (type: `string`): curl\_cffi TLS / JA3 fingerprint to mimic. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy or your own. Gumtree fingerprints aggressively and will start serving challenges or empty results without good proxies โ€” residential is strongly recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "iphone 15", "category": "for-sale", "location": "SW1A 1AA", "distance": "30", "maxPages": 2, "sellerType": "", "sort": "date", "urgentOnly": false, "includeDetails": false, "maxListings": 50, "impersonate": "chrome124", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "GB" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "query": "iphone", "category": "for-sale", "location": "london", "distance": "30", "maxPages": 2, "sort": "date", "maxListings": 50, "impersonate": "chrome124", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "GB" } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/my-actor-8").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`๐Ÿ’พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–?
