🛒 Carousell Scraper

🚀 Export Carousell secondhand marketplace listings in seconds. Run keyword searches across 7 regional markets (Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand), filter by price or recency, and pull 25 fields per listing. No account, no API key, no manual copy-paste.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-04-23 · 📊 25 fields per listing · 🌏 7 regional markets · 🔍 Keyword search · 💰 Price filtering · 🚫 No auth required

The Carousell Scraper queries the Carousell marketplace storefront and returns 25 fields per listing, including title, price, currency, condition, category, seller profile, location, image gallery, and the canonical listing URL. Carousell is the dominant peer-to-peer and certified-reseller marketplace across Southeast Asia and Oceania, with tens of millions of active listings spanning electronics, fashion, furniture, collectibles, and vehicles.

This Actor scopes each run to a single regional domain (SG, PH, MY, HK, TW, AU, or NZ), applies your keyword and sort preference on the server, and streams clean structured records into an Apify dataset. Output is downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML without any post-processing.

📋 What the Carousell Scraper does

Four filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🔍 Keyword search. Any query you would type into the Carousell search bar, from "iphone 14" to "vintage leica".
• 🌏 Regional targeting. Pick one of 7 Carousell marketplaces: Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, or New Zealand.
• 💰 Sort order. Most recent, lowest price first, or highest price first.
• 📏 Volume control. Cap each run with maxItems, from a quick 10-record sample up to 1,000,000 records.

Each record includes pricing (amount + ISO currency), product condition, seller username and verification flag, location string, posted-at timestamp, listing URL, and a full image gallery of up to 10 photos per listing.

💡 Why it matters: Carousell lists products that never appear on Amazon, Shopee, or Lazada, including certified-used electronics, regional collectibles, and hyper-local secondhand inventory. If your analytics ignore Carousell, you are missing the dominant resale channel across Singapore and its neighbors.

⚙️ Input

Input	Type	Default	Behavior
query	string	"iphone 14"	Keyword to search for. Anything you would type into the Carousell search bar.
country	string	"SG"	Regional marketplace. One of SG, PH, MY, HK, TW, AU, NZ.
maxItems	integer	10	Listings to return. Free plan caps at 10, paid plan at 1,000,000.
sortOrder	integer	3	3 = Most Recent, 2 = Lowest Price, 1 = Highest Price.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Residential	Proxy settings. Residential proxies are required because Carousell sits behind Cloudflare.

Example: 50 lowest-price iPhone 14 listings in Singapore.

{
    "query": "iphone 14",
    "country": "SG",
    "sortOrder": 2,
    "maxItems": 50
}

Example: newest Nike sneakers in Australia.

{
    "query": "nike sneakers",
    "country": "AU",
    "sortOrder": 3,
    "maxItems": 200
}

⚠️ Good to Know: price amounts are returned as strings with the decimal portion preserved, and a separate currency field carries the ISO-4217 code (SGD, PHP, MYR, HKD, TWD, AUD, NZD). Cross-currency comparisons must be done against a live FX rate. Listings marked as sold or bumped are still returned so you can filter them out downstream if needed.
