## 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

## Etsy MCP Scraper — Live Etsy Tools for AI Agents

Connect **Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n, Make** or any [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) client to Etsy and let your AI agent search **listings, shops and categories** in real time. No Etsy API key, no browser automation, no monthly fee — you pay only per tool call.

Prefer a classic scraper? The same Actor also runs as a one-shot Etsy listing scraper that writes rows to a dataset.

---

### Two ways to use it

#### 1. As an MCP server (Standby mode)

Start the Actor in **Standby mode** and point your MCP client at:

````

https://<your-username>--etsy-mcp-scraper.apify.actor/mcp

````

Authenticate with your Apify API token as a Bearer token. Example client config:

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "etsy": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://YOUR_USERNAME--etsy-mcp-scraper.apify.actor/mcp",
            "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN" }
        }
    }
}
````

Then ask your agent things like *"Find the 10 cheapest personalized leather wallets on Etsy"* or *"Which Etsy candle shops have the most sales?"*

#### 2. As a classic scraper (Normal run)

Provide `keywords` (and optional filters) in the input and run it once. Normalized listings are pushed to the dataset for CSV/JSON/Excel export.

***

### Pricing

This Actor uses **Pay Per Event**: a flat fee per MCP tool call. A single tool call can return many listings, so a research session typically costs only a few cents. Classic scraping runs are billed per tool call invoked internally.

***

### Scheduling & automation

- **Schedule** runs from the Apify Console (e.g. daily price checks).
- **Webhooks**: POST results to your endpoint when a run finishes.
- **API**: trigger via `POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_USERNAME~etsy-mcp-scraper/runs`.

***

### FAQ

**Do I need an Etsy API key?** No. The Actor uses Etsy's public mobile endpoints.

**Which MCP clients work?** Any client speaking Streamable HTTP — Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, n8n, Make, and custom agents.

**Can I use it without MCP?** Yes — run it normally with `keywords` and read results from the dataset.
