POST /api/gumtree/sellers

Price: 10 credits

Get a Gumtree seller by the ID of any of their ads: seller name, numeric seller and account IDs, professional-account flag and the number of ads they currently have live.

How to use it

Fetch a Gumtree seller by the ID of any ad they posted (Gumtree seller pages are keyed by ad ID, not by user ID). Returns one seller with id, account_id, name, url, is_pro and ad_count. Use gumtree/sellers/listings for the seller's actual ads.

Parameters

• access-token string required

Request body

• timeout integer — Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) (default: 300; min: 20; max: 1500)
• ad string required — ID of any ad posted by the seller (or a listing / seller page URL containing it) - Gumtree seller pages are addressed by ad ID (examples: "1800348038", "https://www.gumtree.com/sellerads/1800348038?userId=14514295"; minLength: 1)

Response

• @type string (default: "GumtreeSeller")
• id string nullable
• account_id string nullable
• name string nullable
• url string required
• is_pro boolean (default: false)
• ad_count integer nullable
• page_count integer nullable

Errors

• 422 — The request body did not validate Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — Seller not found (well-formed but nonexistent/removed ad ID) Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
