Gumtree is where the UK sells things secondhand, useful for pricing stock or checking a rival's asking prices. Rows carry price in pence, description, locality and an organic-vs-paid-placement flag; 'contact seller' items keep a null price rather than a guess. No seller data collected.

What you give it

Every field is optional unless marked; sensible defaults do the rest.

Field	Type	What it does	Default
`searchQuery`	string	What to search for on Gumtree, exactly as you would type it in the site's search box, e.g. "bike" or "iphone 15". Searches all UK categories.	`bike`
`priceMinGbp`	integer	Only include listings costing at least this many pounds.	`-`
`priceMaxGbp`	integer	Only include listings costing at most this many pounds.	`-`
`maxItems`	integer	Stop after this many listings. Free-plan runs are capped at 5 items. The form starts at 25 for a cheap first run - that is the form's prefill, not a cap on your plan; clear it to use the default of 500.	`500`
`scrapeDetails`	boolean	The search results carry only a short description snippet from the listing tile. Turn this on to read each listing's own page for the seller's full description. This makes one extra request per listing, so a run is slower and costs one more page fetch each. The seller-contact block (the reveal-number and seller sections) is never read; only the description text reaches the output. Leave off for a fast search-only sweep.	`False`
`reportFailures`	boolean	When a run fails, send the developer the actor name and build, an error category, the error message (truncated) and a one-way hash of your input - so a bug can be fixed without anyone asking you to reproduce it. Your input itself, your results and your identity are never sent, and successful runs send nothing at all. Switch this off and the actor behaves exactly the same.	`True`

What you get back

One JSON object per result, with exactly these fields - no seller identities, no contact data, ever.

A real result row from a recent run:
