--- name: gumtree-uk-pets version: 1.0.0 description: >- Search [Gumtree UK](https://www.gumtree.com/) Pets listings with bb-browser—dogs, cats, small furries, reptiles, horses, pet equipment—structured JSON and first-image Markdown for comparing ads. Uses gumtree/search + gumtree/listing adapters with search_category scoped to pets; for UK seasonal pet trade (e.g. June peak) and responsible buy/sell workflows only. Requires bb-browser. author: SalamankaKit tags: - gumtree - uk - pets - dogs - cats - classifieds - bb-browser - animal-welfare --- # Meet Pets Friends Use this skill **only** for **UK pet classifieds** on Gumtree: buying or selling **animals**, **pet accessories**, and **equipment**—not property, motors, general for-sale, jobs, or sports. ## Seasonal context (UK) Demand for puppies, kittens, and rehoming often **peaks around late spring and June**. Help users **compare listings** (price, location, description, photos) and **research sellers**—not to bypass Gumtree messaging, identity checks, or the law. ## Legal and welfare (must follow) - **UK law**: [Animal Welfare Act 2006](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/45/contents), breeding/licensing rules where they apply, and **banned breeds** restrictions—do not advise evading them. - **Gumtree rules**: follow [Gumtree](https://www.gumtree.com/) pet policies and age/transport requirements; encourage in-person viewing and verifiable documentation (microchip, vet records) where relevant. - **Read-only CLI**: this skill covers **`gumtree/search`** and **`gumtree/listing`** only. Contacting sellers or posting ads needs the normal site or browser. ## Prerequisites - [bb-browser](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bb-browser) (`npm i -g bb-browser`). - This bundle includes [`bb-sites/gumtree/search.js`](bb-sites/gumtree/search.js) and [`bb-sites/gumtree/listing.js`](bb-sites/gumtree/listing.js). Install into bb-browser: ```bash mkdir -p ~/.bb-browser/sites/gumtree cp bb-sites/gumtree/search.js ~/.bb-browser/sites/gumtree/search.js cp bb-sites/gumtree/listing.js ~/.bb-browser/sites/gumtree/listing.js ``` Run the `cp` commands from the directory that contains `bb-sites/` (the unpacked skill bundle root). --- ## Search: keep results inside Pets **4th positional** on `gumtree/search` is Gumtree `search_category`. For pets, use one of: | `search_category` | Use for | |-------------------|---------| | `pets` | Whole Pets vertical (default starting point) | | `pets-for-sale` | Animals offered for sale / rehoming | | `pet-equipment-accessories` | Beds, crates, tanks, filters, etc. | ```bash bb-browser site gumtree/search "cocker spaniel puppies" "Manchester" 1 pets --json bb-browser site gumtree/search "indoor rabbit hutch" "Birmingham" 1 pet-equipment-accessories --json bb-browser site gumtree/search "KC registered labrador" "United Kingdom" 1 pets-for-sale --json ``` **Positional order** (bb-browser): `query`, `location`, `page`, `category`. - Refine **`query`** with breed, age (“8 weeks”), “rehome”, “rescue”, accessories type, etc. - **`location`**: city, region, or `United Kingdom`. Each hit includes `url`, `title`, `price`, `location`, `snippet`, `firstImageUrl`, `firstImageMarkdown`—use **`gumtree/listing`** on any `url` for full description and all images. ```bash bb-browser site gumtree/listing "https://www.gumtree.com/p/dogs/..." --json ``` --- ## When Gumtree markup changes Update selectors in [`bb-sites/gumtree/search.js`](bb-sites/gumtree/search.js) and [`listing.js`](bb-sites/gumtree/listing.js), then copy the edited files to `~/.bb-browser/sites/gumtree/` again. ## Compliance Respect [Gumtree](https://www.gumtree.com/) terms, robots.txt, and polite request rates. This skill is **pets-only**; use other skills for non-pet categories.
