Gumtree UK API

UK classifieds data from Gumtree. Search listings with filters, get ad details, seller profiles and reviews, plus categories, locations, and trends.

Overview

The Gumtree UK API provides structured access to one of the UK’s largest classifieds marketplaces. Search listings across every category, retrieve complete ad details and seller data, and tap into category, location, and trend intelligence through clean JSON endpoints.

What You Can Access

Listing search covers the full Gumtree catalog - cars and vehicles, home and garden, electronics, jobs, services, pets, and general classifieds - with keyword, category, location, distance, price range, seller type, and per-category attribute filters. You can also resolve an existing Gumtree search URL into results, return keyword autocomplete suggestions with matching categories, and pull the terms currently trending on the platform.

Listing endpoints return full ad detail by ID or directly from a listing URL, including description, price, media, attributes, and location, and /similar-listings surfaces comparable ads for recommendation features.

Seller endpoints return public profiles, a seller’s active listings, and their reviews, useful for lead qualification and marketplace trust analysis. Category and location intelligence includes the complete category tree, available filters per category with selectable values for each attribute, location autocomplete for search, and reverse geocoding from coordinates to a Gumtree location.

Use Cases

  • Marketplace intelligence and competitive analysis
  • Price monitoring across UK second-hand goods and vehicles
  • Lead generation from listings and seller profiles
  • Classifieds aggregators and search products
