Pricing / Cost estimation

How much does it cost to scrape Gumtree listings? Pricing depends on your Apify plan's compute unit rate and how many listings you request. Each page of 12 listings is a single fast request.

Tips for better runs

• Filter on gumtree.com first (by make, model, price, or location) and paste that URL in, rather than scraping every category.
• Keep Max items/Max pages modest for daily monitoring runs to control cost and run time.
• Use the Apify Schedule feature to re-run this Actor periodically and track new listings over time.

FAQ

Is this legal? This Actor only collects publicly visible listing data. You are responsible for using the data in accordance with Gumtree.com's Terms of Service and any applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

Why did some fields come back empty? Not every listing includes every field (e.g. some private sellers omit engine size). The Actor returns null for anything that isn't available for a given car.
