Karrot Listings Scraper

🥕 Karrot Market Listings Scraper

Extract buy/sell listings from Karrot Market (us.karrotmarket.com) — the hyperlocal marketplace popular in Korean-American communities across the US. The Karrot Market Listings Scraper gives you structured product data for market research, price tracking, and inventory analysis across all 111 US regions.

✨ Features

• 🗺️ Full US Coverage: Scrape across all 111 hyperlocal regions in 6 states (New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Connecticut, Wisconsin) — discovered automatically.
• 🗂️ Category Sweep: Enumerate all 16 product categories per region to maximise the number of unique listings collected.
• 🔍 Keyword Search: Target specific items across regions using search terms.
• 📄 Detail Enrichment: Optionally fetch full listing pages for description text, GPS coordinates, all images, seller profile, and engagement stats.
• ⚡ Fast & Lightweight: HTTP-based scraping — no browser automation needed.
• 🔁 Deduplication: Items appearing in multiple region/category results are stored only once, keyed by nodeId.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Configure regions – Provide region slugs (e.g. manhattan-7426) or leave blank to auto-discover all ~111 US regions from the Karrot sitemap.
2. Choose a strategy – Browse all listings, filter by category, or search by keyword.
3. Enable detail enrichment (optional) – Follow each listing to its detail page for the full dataset.
4. Run – Structured JSON results land in your dataset.
