Gumtree Scraper
Gumtree Scraper collects ads from Gumtree UK (gumtree.com): search results for any keyword, category, town or postcode, page after page, plus single ad pages. Each ad comes with its price as a number, location, postcode, seller type, posting time, images and the ad's attributes (condition and brand, or make, model, year, mileage and fuel for cars). Optionally it opens every ad page for the full description and seller details. No login, public data only.

Measured limits
Measured 2026-10-03 from one residential IP without a proxy (details in TEST_REPORT.md).
- A results page holds 26-34 ads; Gumtree serves at most 50 pages per search or category URL (page 51 redirects). Measured speed: 20 ads in 2-3 s (1 page), 100 ads in 7 s (4 pages), 600 ads in 29 s (22 pages).
- Featured ads (up to 5 per page) stay on top whatever the sort and repeat on every page; repeats are dropped.
- Bot check: after 3-9 keyword-search pages within a few minutes Gumtree answers that IP with a JavaScript check for about 10 minutes; 22 category pages in a row passed without it. The Actor never answers the check: with the default proxy it continues on a new UK residential IP (up to 3 per request); without a proxy it stops after 2 refused requests and keeps the rows collected.
- A sort or price range on a keyword search in category
allmakes Gumtree search only the category it guesses (sofa: 305 instead of 1,865 ads). A price range is applied only with a specific category. An unknown place (e.g.Manchester, UK) makes Gumtree search the whole UK. Each case is logged as a WARNING. - A postcode searches 10 miles around by default.
includeDetailscosts 1 request per ad (0.5-0.6 MB). Seller rating, ad count and last-active time are published for private sellers only (empty for the 4 trade dealers tested).- Not collected: phone numbers and contact details (masked, login required) and number plates.
