## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## eBay Tracking Number Uploader (Bulk)

Registers tracking numbers and marks orders as shipped on eBay using the **official eBay Fulfillment REST API** — no screen scraping, fully ToS-compliant.

Supports bulk processing of multiple orders in a single run.

---

### Why use this instead of manual entry?

- Bulk-upload tracking numbers for dozens of orders at once
- No eBay API development required — just paste your credentials
- Works for any carrier (Japan Post, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Yamato, etc.)

---

### Prerequisites

You need an **eBay Developer account** with OAuth credentials:

1. Sign up at [developer.ebay.com](https://developer.ebay.com)
2. Create an application → get **Client ID** and **Client Secret (Cert ID)**
3. Get a **User Token** (Refresh Token) with `sell.fulfillment` scope:
   - Go to [developer.ebay.com/my/auth](https://developer.ebay.com/my/auth/?env=production&index=0)
   - Sign in with your seller account
   - Select scopes: `sell.fulfillment`
   - Copy the **Refresh Token**
4. Refresh Token is valid for ~**540 days**. Regenerate when expired.

---

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `clientId` | string | ✅ | eBay Developer Client ID (App ID) |
| `clientSecret` | string | ✅ | eBay Developer Client Secret (Cert ID) |
| `refreshToken` | string | ✅ | OAuth Refresh Token with `sell.fulfillment` scope |
| `environment` | string | — | `production` (default) or `sandbox` |
| `marketplaceId` | string | — | eBay marketplace ID (default: `EBAY_US`) |
| `orders` | array | ✅ | List of orders to ship (see below) |

#### Order object

```json
{
  "orderId": "12-34567-89012",
  "trackingNumber": "1234567890",
  "carrier": "JAPAN_POST"
}
````

Supported carrier codes: `FEDEX`, `UPS`, `USPS`, `DHL`, `DHL_EXPRESS`, `JAPAN_POST`, `YAMATO`, `SAGAWA`, `OTHER`

***

### Output (Dataset)

Each order produces one record:

```json
{
  "orderId": "12-34567-89012",
  "trackingNumber": "1234567890",
  "carrier": "JAPAN_POST",
  "lineItemCount": 1,
  "status": "success",
  "processedAt": "2026-05-14T10:30:00.000Z"
}
```

On failure: `"status": "error"` with `"error": "..."` message.

***

### PPE Pricing

**$0.20 per successfully processed order.**

- Failed orders are not charged
- Infrastructure costs are automatically deducted from eBay API usage (free tier: 5,000 calls/day)

***

### ⚠️ Notes

- This Actor uses the **official eBay Sell API** (not browser automation)
- Rate limit: 5,000 API calls/day per application. Each order uses 2 calls (getOrder + createFulfillment).
- Do not run multiple instances simultaneously with the same credentials (rate limit risk)
- Sandbox environment uses `api.sandbox.ebay.com` with test orders only

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "environment": "production",
    "marketplaceId": "EBAY_US",
    "orders": [
        {
            "orderId": "12-34567-89012",

            "carrier": "JAPAN_POST"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("amicable_ironmonger/ebay-tracking-uploader").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
