eBay Search Scraper

Search eBay the way a shopper would, and get every result back as clean, structured data. Type one or more keywords — or paste full eBay search links — and receive a row for each listing with its title, price in the site's own currency, condition, buying format, shipping, location, seller and feedback, image and a clean link. Sponsored placements are flagged and the true organic position is reported separately, so you always know which results eBay paid-promoted and which earned their spot. Switch on full item details and every result is enriched with its complete listing record. Built for anyone who needs eBay's search results as data: resellers tracking competitors and price bands, analysts sizing a market, sourcing teams building product lists, and brands watching where their items land in the results.

What you can do with it

• Turn a keyword into a dataset — search "mechanical keyboard" and get back hundreds of live listings with price, condition, seller and rank, ready to filter and pivot.
• See paid vs. organic placement — every result carries a sponsored flag and its organic position, so you can measure how many top spots are ads and where the first earned result really sits.
• Track price bands — sort by price plus delivery and set a minimum and maximum to map what a product actually sells for right now.
• Reuse a search you already built on eBay — paste the eBay search link with all its filters and the actor reads it back; anything you set in the run overrides the link.
• Monitor a niche on a schedule — re-run a saved search hourly or daily and compare each fresh dataset against the last.
• Enrich every result with the full listing — turn the fast list into a deep dataset with item specifics, all images, exact stock, seller reputation and returns for each result.

What you get

One row per listing. Abridged sample of a single result:

{
  "query": "laptop",
  "marketplace": "US",
  "itemId": "284267994669",
  "title": "HP ProBook X360 11 G6 Touch Laptop 11.6\" HD Core i3 8GB RAM 128GB SSD Windows 11",
  "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/284267994669",
  "imageUrl": "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/d-AAAeSwvBFqNd12/s-l500.jpg",
  "sponsored": true,
  "rank": 1,
  "organicRank": null,
  "page": 1,
  "newListing": false,
  "price": { "amount": 169.99, "currency": "USD" },
  "priceTo": null,
  "originalPrice": null,
  "condition": "Good - Refurbished",
  "subtitle": "Good - Refurbished · HP · 128 GB",
  "buyingFormat": "BUY_IT_NOW",
  "bestOffer": false,
  "bids": null,
  "timeLeft": null,
  "shippingCost": 0,
  "freeShipping": true,
  "freeReturns": true,
  "location": "United States",
  "sellerName": "discountcomputerdepot",
  "sellerFeedbackCount": 170600,
  "sellerFeedbackPct": 99.6,
  "leafCategoryId": 177,
  "detailsIncluded": false,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-18T12:00:00.000Z"
}

With full item details switched on, each row keeps everything above and adds the complete listing record — listingStatus, the item-page price as itemPrice, itemSpecifics, all images, quantityAvailable, soldCount, watcherCount, seller, itemLocation, returnsSummary, categoryBreadcrumb, epid and more — and detailsIncluded becomes true.

Input reference

Setting	Type	Default	What it does
Search terms or search links	list of text	mechanical keyboard	One or more keywords, or full eBay search links, mixed in the same list. A pasted link's own filters (site, price range, condition, sort, category) are read from it; anything you set below overrides them. Required.
Results per search	whole number	240	How many results to collect for each search term. eBay serves up to 240 per page and the actor works through the pages automatically until this number is reached or the results run out. Maximum 2,400.
Condition	choice	Any condition	Limit results to New, Used or Refurbished, or leave on Any.
Buying format	choice	All formats	Limit results to Buy It Now or Auction, or leave on All.
Minimum price	number	—	Only return listings priced at or above this amount, in the selected site's currency. Maximum 1,000,000.
Maximum price	number	—	Only return listings priced at or below this amount, in the selected site's currency. Maximum 1,000,000.
Free shipping only	true/false	false	Return only listings that offer free delivery.
Sort results by	choice	Best Match	Best Match, Newly Listed, Price + delivery lowest, Price + delivery highest, or Ending Soonest.
Category number	text	—	Restrict a keyword search to one eBay category by its numeric id (e.g. 177). Works only together with a search term.

eBay site	choice	United States (ebay.com)	Which country's eBay site to search: US, UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Italy or Spain. A pasted link keeps its own site.
Parallel work	whole number	4	How many results to work on at the same time when attaching full item details. Maximum 10.

Pricing

You pay per result, with no monthly minimum.

What you are charged for	Price
Search result — one result added to your dataset	$0.70 per 1,000
Full item details attached — the complete listing record added to a result	$1.50 per 1,000

The second charge applies only when you switch on full item details, and only for results whose own listing page was successfully read; a result that can be listed but whose page cannot be opened still arrives as a row, and is not charged the second fee.

Worked example. A search that collects 1,000 results costs 1,000 × $0.0007 = $0.70. Turn on full item details and each result is enriched: add 1,000 × $0.0015 = $1.50, for $2.20 per 1,000 all-in. A daily run collecting 500 results is about $0.35 per run, roughly $10 a month.

Limits & what this actor cannot do

• Prices, bids, stock and ranking are a snapshot at the moment of collection and keep changing afterwards; eBay's ranking is not identical from one moment to the next.
• eBay's own result count is an estimate that swings between reads, so it is never returned as a precise total. The actor returns what eBay actually serves and reports distinct listings only — the same item that eBay repeats across nearby pages is returned once.
• There is a practical ceiling of roughly 10,000–24,000 results for any single search-and-filter combination. To go deeper, split a broad search into narrower price bands or categories and run each.
• Seller name and feedback are shown on most results but not all layouts; where a result does not carry them, those fields come back empty rather than guessed.
• The subtitle line is partly seller-written, so condition is filled only from a known set of condition names and anything else the seller put there stays in subtitle.
• On the two price-plus-delivery sort orders the displayed item price is not strictly increasing, because eBay orders by price including delivery.
• Prices come back in each eBay site's own currency; a figure is never re-labelled into a different currency.
• Speed depends on the size of the job and on eBay's own response times; no fixed throughput is promised.
• eBay's terms govern automated access. You are responsible for using the data lawfully and in line with the source site's terms, and for handling any personal data in line with applicable privacy law.

FAQ

Do I need an eBay account? No. The actor reads only what eBay shows the public in its search results.

Does it need my login or password? No. There is nothing to connect and nothing to configure — enter a search term and press start.

Can I paste a search link I already built on eBay? Yes. Paste the full eBay search address and the actor reads its site and filters back out. Anything you set in the run overrides the link, and a link left to its own settings is followed as-is.

How many results can I get per search? Up to 2,400 per search in one run, and up to roughly 10,000–24,000 for a single search-and-filter combination overall. Split a broad search into price bands or categories to go wider.

How is sponsored detection accurate when eBay hides it? Sponsored status comes from eBay's own placement data rather than the on-screen "Sponsored" labels, which eBay deliberately scatters onto ordinary results too. Each row reports both its overall rank and its ad-free organic rank.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Schedule it hourly, daily or weekly from the Apify console, and each run writes a fresh dataset you can compare against the last — ideal for tracking price and ranking over time.

Is the data complete? It is complete for everything eBay shows openly in its results. Where a layout omits a field, such as seller feedback on some results, the actor leaves it empty rather than guessing, and it reports distinct listings rather than eBay's shifting estimate of the total.
