Scrape Carousell listings, prices, conditions, photos, meet-up locations and seller leads across Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Hong Kong - fast, over plain HTTP, with no browser and no login.

Carousell is Southeast Asia's largest consumer marketplace. This actor turns any category, listing or seller profile into a clean, richly-populated dataset.

Why this scraper

Most Carousell scrapers drive a headless browser per page. That is why they time out - measurably: across the public Carousell actors on the Store, one leader logs 308 FAILED + 780 ABORTED runs out of 4,306. This actor takes a different route.

Carousell server-renders its entire application state into the page. We parse that state directly, so:

• No browser. ~1-2 s per page instead of 15-30 s. No Chromium, no memory spikes.
• No timeouts by construction. The run reads its own ACTOR_TIMEOUT_AT deadline, stops starting work ~60 s before the platform would kill it, pushes what it has and exits Succeeded with a status message. A run can never end TIMED-OUT.
• Never throws. A transient rate-limit ends the run Succeeded with 0 items and an explanatory message - it does not fail, and pay-per-event means you are not charged for it.
• Richer records. The state blob carries fields the rendered page never shows: exact meet-up GPS coordinates, postal codes, seller verification flags, follower counts and the positive/neutral/negative review split.

We parse JSON, not CSS classes. Carousell's class names are obfuscated build hashes that rotate on every deploy - class-based scrapers rot within weeks.

What you get

Listing records - title, numeric + formatted price, condition, full description, likes, buyer-protection badge, images, category, seller handle, and an always-present listedAt timestamp.

Enriched listing details (fetchDetails) - 50+ fields including brand, availability, offers/comments counts, full category path, meet-up address with postal code, latitude/longitude, deal methods, and the complete seller profile.

Seller leads (includeSellerLeads) - one de-duplicated record per seller: verification flags (email / mobile / ID / Facebook), followers, feedback score, positive-rate, tenure in years, response rate, and a 0-100 leadScore ranking commercial reachability.

Deep pagination, solved

Carousell returns only 48 results per URL - there is no ?page= parameter and no infinite-scroll endpoint (verified: 12 scrolls, 0 requests fired). This actor partitions the inventory by price band and sort order, subdividing any saturated band recursively, then de-duplicates by listing ID.

Measured: 481 unique listings from a single starting point in 12 requests.

Category browsing (and why not keyword search)

Carousell's robots.txt disallows /search/, and the site enforces it - the search route returns an unresolved shell with no results to non-approved clients. Category pages are SEO-critical, explicitly crawlable, and always resolve. So this actor browses categories - the lane Carousell sanctions - and applies your keyword filter itself, while crawling, so filtering never starves your item limit.

If you point it at a category that is only a navigation hub (or a slug that does not exist in that region), it automatically falls back to that region's working subcategories rather than returning an empty run.

Input

Field	Description
region	sg, my, ph, hk. The proxy is auto-pinned to the matching country.
categoryUrls	Category pages to scrape - full URL or bare slug. Slugs are region-specific (see below).
keywords	Optional. Keep only listings whose title/description matches. Filtering happens during the crawl.
startUrls	Any Carousell URL - category, listing (/p/...) or seller profile (/u/...).
sellerUsernames	Pull public listings from specific sellers.
maxItems	Record cap. 0 = no limit (still exits safely before timeout).
fetchDetails	Open each listing for the full 50+ field record.
includeSellerLeads	Emit de-duplicated seller lead records.
deepPagination	Price-band + sort partitioning. On by default.
sortBy, minPrice, maxPrice	Standard filters.

Verified category slugs (ids differ per region - a Singapore slug will not work on Philippines):

Region	Working slugs
Singapore	computers-tech-213, womens-fashion-4, men-s-fashion-3, luxury-20, video-gaming-264, furniture-home-living-13, toys-collectibles-12
Malaysia	women-s-fashion-4, hobbies-toys-6245, cars-32, property-102
Philippines	luxury-20, womens-fashion-4, toys-board-games-12
Hong Kong	luxury-20, womens-fashion-4, furniture-home-living-13, toys-collectibles-12

Run it with no input at all and it browses a sample category so you always see real data.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready - AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 - an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server - no account, no API key.
• Skyfire - agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

Pricing

Pay-per-event - you pay only for records you receive:

Event	Price
Listing scraped	$0.003
Listing detail enriched	$0.006
Seller lead	$0.008

Notes

Only public Carousell data is collected - the same information any visitor sees without logging in. No accounts, no private messages, no personal data behind authentication. Taiwan (carousell.tw) is not supported: that site server-renders no listings, so it is deliberately excluded rather than shipped as a region that returns nothing. Please use the output in line with Carousell's terms and applicable law.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/carousell-scraper').call({
    "region": "sg",
    "categoryUrls": [
        "womens-fashion-4"
    ],
    "maxItems": 100,
    "fetchDetails": false,
    "deepPagination": true
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);
