Scrape listings from Gumtree Australia (.com.au), Gumtree UK (.com), and Gumtree South Africa (.co.za). Extract structured data including titles, prices, descriptions, images, seller information, location, attributes, and more from search results and individual listing pages.

Features

• Scrapes 3 Gumtree domains: Australia, UK, and South Africa
• Extracts data from search result pages and individual listing pages
• Supports pagination — automatically follows multiple pages up to your limit
• Extracts rich listing details including descriptions, all images, seller info, and category-specific attributes
• No browser required — uses lightweight HTTP requests for fast, cost-effective scraping
• Handles rate limiting and retries automatically

Supported Domains

Input Parameters

Architecture

The scraper automatically detects the domain from your URL and routes requests accordingly:

• UK (.com) and ZA (.co.za) → Fast HTTP requests with httpx (no browser needed)
• AU (.com.au) → Browser-fingerprinted requests with impit, falling back to Playwright with stealth

This hybrid approach keeps costs low for UK/ZA while providing browser emulation where needed for AU.

2. Install the EditThisCookie Chrome extension
3. Click the extension icon and click "Export"

FAQ

Q: Which Gumtree domains are supported? A: Gumtree Australia (.com.au), Gumtree UK (.com), and Gumtree South Africa (.co.za).

Q: Can I scrape multiple domains in one run? A: Yes! Add URLs from different domains to the Start URLs array. The scraper automatically detects the domain.

Q: Why are some fields empty? A: Field availability varies by domain and listing type. UK listings may not have latitude/longitude. Some sellers don't provide all details. Setting includeListingDetails: true maximizes data completeness.

Q: How fast is the scraper? A: The scraper uses HTTP requests (no browser), making it very fast. With includeListingDetails: false, it can process hundreds of listings per minute. With details enabled, it's limited by the 1-second delay between detail page requests.

Q: Do I need a proxy? A: For UK and South Africa, the scraper works without proxy. Australia has strong anti-bot protection and may not work with HTTP-only requests — a browser-based approach may be needed for AU.

Q: What is the attributes field? A: This contains category-specific details. For cars, it may include Year, Mileage, Fuel Type, etc. For electronics, it may include Condition, Brand, etc. The available attributes depend on the listing category.
