Overview
Carousell Listings Scraper
Scrape Carousell listings from any search, category, or direct URL, up to a million per run. Each listing returns with its price, condition, seller info, and full description. Filter by country, price range, and sort order. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Carousell's mobile-first marketplace makes it hard to track listings at scale across its nine country sites. This Actor reads the public search and category pages directly, letting you collect listings by keyword or URL while filtering by condition, price, and sort order. No API key or login needed.

What it does
This Actor collects Carousell listings by search term or direct URL and returns each one as a flat row with price, condition, description, and seller details.
- π Keyword search: feed a product name or search term and collect matching listings across any supported country.
- π Direct URL input: paste a Carousell search or category page URL to scrape exactly that view, ignoring other filters.
- π Nine country markets: target Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand.
- π° Price and condition filters: narrow results to new or used items within a min-max price range before they hit your dataset.
- π Sort control: collect listings ordered by most recent, price low-to-high, or price high-to-low.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your keyword or URL is valid on the selected country domain. Try broadening the search term or removing price and condition filters to see if any listings exist.
The Actor returns fewer listings than my maxItems setting.
This is normal when the search has fewer total results than your limit. The Actor stops when it runs out of matching listings on Carousell.
I'm getting timeout or Cloudflare errors.
Ensure residential proxies are enabled in the Advanced Options. If errors persist, try reducing the maxItems or running during off-peak hours.
Prices are in the wrong currency.
Prices are returned in the local currency of the selected country. Change the country input to scrape a different region's listings.
The startUrl input is ignoring my keyword and filters.
This is by design. When you provide a direct URL, the Actor scrapes that exact page and ignores the keyword, country, and filter fields.
