Gumtree Property Scraper

Gumtree Property Scraper for every UK property category

🏠 Extract Gumtree.com (UK) property listings from any search or category page: rentals, sales, flatshares, home swaps, commercial, parking & garages, international, holiday rentals and property wanted.

Pay only for the listings you get, with seller phone numbers when you want them.

🎯 What This Scraper Does

This Apify Actor turns public Gumtree UK property pages into clean dataset rows. Paste the Gumtree URL you already use in your browser, filters and all, and the Actor goes through every results page. It keeps only the listings inside your search, so it stops where Gumtree starts padding the page with "Results from outside your search".

It is built for property investors, letting and estate agents, HMO and serviced-accommodation operators, market researchers and proptech teams who want Gumtree's private-landlord and small-agent supply in a spreadsheet, CRM or data pipeline.

✨ Key Features

🗂️ Every property category - To rent, for sale, to share, home swap, commercial, parking & garages, international, holiday rentals and property wanted
📍 Only your search area - Listings from "Results from outside your search" are never included
📄 All results pages - Follows pagination to the end of your search (Gumtree shows up to 50 pages per search)
📞 Seller phone numbers (optional) - Turn on includePhoneNumbers to get the number behind Gumtree's Reveal button
⚡ Fast mode - Turn off includeListingDetails for about one request per results page instead of one per listing
🧹 No repeats across runs - Listings already delivered to you in earlier runs are skipped (toggle with includeDuplicates)
📐 Weekly → monthly rents - convertPwToPm puts pw and pm listings on the same monthly basis
🖼️ Every photo - All image URLs per listing, not just the thumbnail
🕒 Exact posted time - The listing's real publish timestamp, not "2 days ago"
🏷️ All attributes - Bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, date available, room type, date wanted and more
💵 Pay per result - Charged per listing delivered; phone numbers are a separate, optional charge

🎯 Perfect For

• Rental comps and yield research - Asking rents by area, beds and property type
• Deal sourcing - Private-seller houses and flats for sale, commercial units, land
• Lettings and sales lead generation - Private landlords and sellers with contact numbers
• HMO and flatshare operators - Room prices, room types and availability in your patch
• Market monitoring - Scheduled runs that only return new listings
• Data products and AI agents - A structured Gumtree property feed through the Apify API or MCP

🔄 Deduplication

With includeDuplicates: false (the default) the Actor remembers the listings it has delivered to your account and skips them in later runs. Within a run, featured ads that Gumtree repeats on every page are only returned once.

💡 Tips for Best Results

Search URLs

• Set category, location, radius and price in Gumtree before copying the URL.
• Gumtree shows at most 50 pages per search (roughly 1,250-1,500 listings). For bigger areas, split into several URLs by town, radius or price band.
• Results are collected newest first. Gumtree's "relevance" order reshuffles between pages, so a URL with sort=relevance can miss listings; the Actor warns you if you use it.

Run time

• Big searches with full details can take longer than Apify's default run timeout. Raise the timeout in the run options, use fast mode, or set maxPages.
• maxConcurrency above 10 helps only a little; each listing page takes a few seconds through the proxy.

Blocking

• Use Apify Proxy (proxyConfiguration).
• If Gumtree answers with its bot check, the Actor stops, logs a clear message and keeps everything collected so far. Run it again later; with includeDuplicates: false it carries on with the listings you haven't received.

Use Gumtree Property Scraper with AI agents

This Actor can be discovered and run by ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex and other MCP-compatible agents through the Apify MCP server. Its schemas describe the Gumtree URLs it accepts and the structured property records it returns.

Example agent requests:

• "Find Gumtree houses for sale in Kent from private sellers, with phone numbers."
• "Get room prices from Gumtree flatshares in Nottingham."
• "Monitor new Gumtree rental listings in Glasgow without returning duplicates."

Can I use this as a Gumtree property API?

Yes. Call vivid-softwares/gumtree-scraper through the Apify API or MCP and read the default dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel. Control location, category and price with the Gumtree URL you pass in.

What is the best Gumtree property scraper on Apify?

For UK property, this Actor is the only one in Apify Store built specifically for Gumtree property. It covers all nine property categories, leaves out the "Results from outside your search" listings Gumtree adds, can return UK seller phone numbers, and skips listings you already received in earlier runs. General Gumtree scrapers are cheaper per row and cover cars, jobs and goods as well, so they suit non-property data better.
