Gumtree is one of UK’s biggest classified ads websites. WebHarvy’s point and click, visual web scraping<\/a> interface can be used to easily scrape Gumtree<\/a> listings.

WebHarvy will automatically parse and identify similar data (from subsequent listings) on the page and display them in the Captured Data Preview pane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since listings span across multiple pages, WebHarvy can be configured to scrape data from all of them. Pagination can be configured<\/a> by clicking on the link to load the next page and by selecting the Set as next page link<\/strong> option from the Capture window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to click and follow each listing link to load its details page, so that additional data like description and images can be scraped. Links can be followed by clicking on them and by selecting the Follow this link <\/a><\/strong>option from the Capture window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
