Carousell Listings Scraper

Carousell Listings Scraper

Extract product listings from Carousell.sg — Singapore's leading marketplace for buying and selling new and secondhand goods. The Carousell Listings Scraper gathers structured listing data for market research, price monitoring, and competitive analysis.

The other Carousell markets work the same way — paste a URL from Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Indonesia. Prices come back in the local currency (MYR, PHP, HKD, TWD, IDR); the default Singapore proxy works for all of them.

Features

• Search & Browse: Scrape listings from keyword searches or category browse pages.
• Two Scraping Modes: Get quick card-level data or detailed listing information including full descriptions, seller profiles, and engagement metrics.
• Explicit listing type: Defaults to individual marketplace listings. Select certified for Carousell Certified product-family offers; the two sources are not silently mixed.
• Anti-Bot Handling: Automatically handles bot protection so you get reliable results.

How It Works

1. Provide Start URLs — Enter Carousell search or browse page URLs.
2. Choose Scraping Depth — Enable "Scrape listing details" for full data (description, seller, likes) or disable for fast card-level extraction.
3. Run the Scraper — The actor navigates the pages and extracts structured data.

Supported URL Formats

Format	Example	Description
Keyword browse	https://www.carousell.sg/desk-lamp/q/	User-to-user listings for a keyword
Search with params	https://www.carousell.sg/search/?query=iphone&sort_by=3	Search results (primarily certified products)
Category browse	https://www.carousell.sg/categories/mobile-phones-17040/	Browse by category
Direct listing	https://www.carousell.sg/p/listing-title-123456/	Single listing detail page

Source selection: iPhone searches can open on the Certified tab even on /keyword/q/ URLs. The Actor explicitly sets tab=marketplace by default, equivalent to clicking All. Set listingType: "certified" to collect certified product-family offers instead. Direct listing URLs are visited unchanged.

Certified card prices are often From prices, not quotes for the exact variant in the link. Output includes listingType and priceType (asking or from). Source model names and prices are preserved; they are not independently verified.

Search extraction clicks Show more results up to maxSearchPages batches and maxItemsPerSearch unique cards per search URL. It stops when no new IDs appear. Output IDs are deduplicated across the run. On restart, state is reconciled against records already saved in the dataset to recover writes made after the last state checkpoint. maxRequestsPerCrawl limits crawler requests, not load-more batches. Overlapping searches may emit fewer new records than their per-search limit.

Detail-level data (scrapeDetails: true)

{
    "listingId": "1428851262",
    "url": "https://www.carousell.sg/p/ikea-black-adjustable-desk-lamp-1428851262/",

        "rating": 5,
        "reviewCount": 29,
        "joinedDuration": "4 years"
    },
    "images": [
        "https://media.karousell.com/media/photos/products/2026/3/28/ikea_black_adjustable_desk_lam_1774679188.jpg",
        "https://media.karousell.com/media/photos/products/2026/3/28/ikea_black_adjustable_desk_lam_1774679188_b190dd6d.jpg"
    ],

    "views": null,
    "likes": null,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-03-28T09:55:58.394Z"
}

The timePosted field reflects what Carousell publicly exposes on the listing page: the bump time when the seller has bumped the listing (with isBumped: true), otherwise the original post time. Carousell does not expose an absolute timestamp — only relative strings like "5 hours ago", "2 days ago", or "moments ago".

Pricing

This actor uses Pay Per Event pricing. You only pay for the results you get.

Event	Description	Price
listing-shallow	Each listing extracted in card-only mode (scrapeDetails: false)	$10 per 1,000 results
listing-detail	Each listing extracted with full details (scrapeDetails: true)	$40 per 1,000 results

No additional platform compute costs — proxy usage is included in the event pricing.
