🔗 Integrating with other platforms

eBay Scraper supports integrations with external services, enabling automated workflows and data exchange. Through the Apify platform integrations, it connects with tools like Make and Zapier, facilitating interactions with Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, and Google Drive (learn about integrations). Additionally, its API and webhook support allow real-time interactions, such as triggering automated workflows or receiving notifications when a scraping task is completed.

❌ Limitations

Currently, the actor is only able to scrape the first 40000 results per search URL. To bypass this limitation, one needs to split the search into multiple sub-searches (you can do that by using more specific search terms, like price ranges etc.).

🛠️ Support

This actor is still under development, if there is a feature that you would love to see (more fields, better input, etc.), do not hesitate to create an issue or contact me at contact@3x1t.dev.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape eBay?

Note that personal data is protected by GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. We also recommend that you read our blog post: is web scraping legal?
