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 Listings Scraper — Official API | from $1.50/1K | No Bot Blocks Built for Etsy sellers doing competitor research, e-commerce analysts tracking pricing trends, and dropshippers validating handmade/supply niches. **Pricing:** Pay per listing — $1.50/1K. First 10 results free. Requires a free Etsy API key (5 min to register at etsy.com/developers). Once set up, zero COGS — the official API has no proxy or compute costs. Scrape active Etsy listings using the **official Etsy Open API v3** — structured, reliable data without anti-bot headaches. Search by keyword across all of Etsy or scrape all active listings from a specific shop. ### What you get | Field | Description | |---|---| | `listing_id` | Numeric Etsy listing ID | | `shop_id` | Numeric shop ID | | `title` | Listing title | | `description` | Full product description | | `price` | Price as float (amount ÷ divisor, e.g. 28.00) | | `currency` | ISO 4217 currency code (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP) | | `quantity` | Available inventory quantity | | `views` | View count (when available) | | `favorers` | Number of users who favorited this listing | | `tags` | Array of listing tags | | `taxonomy_id` | Etsy taxonomy/category ID | | `listing_type` | physical / download / both | | `who_made` | i_did / someone_else / collective | | `when_made` | Era string (made_to_order, 2020_2026, 1990s, …) | | `is_supply` | Whether this is a supply/craft material | | `url` | Full URL to the listing on etsy.com | | `scraped_at` | ISO 8601 timestamp of this scrape | | `parse_confidence` | Data quality score 0–1 | | `warnings` | Array of field-level quality warnings | ### Prerequisites A **free Etsy API key** is required. Get one at: 👉 https://www.etsy.com/developers/register Register a new app, and Etsy provides a keystring you pass as `etsyApiKey` input. The free tier is sufficient for most use cases. ### Input | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `etsyApiKey` | string (secret) | **Yes** | Your Etsy Open API v3 key | | `searchKeywords` | string | No | Keyword search (e.g. "handmade candle") | | `shopId` | string | No | Numeric shop ID to scrape | | `maxItems` | integer | No | Max listings (default 100, 0 = unlimited) | At least one of `searchKeywords` or `shopId` is required. #### Example inputs **Search listings:** ```json { "etsyApiKey": "your_etsy_api_key", "searchKeywords": "handmade soy candle", "maxItems": 200 } ```` **Scrape a shop:** ```json { "etsyApiKey": "your_etsy_api_key", "shopId": "12345678", "maxItems": 500 } ``` ### How it works - **Keyword search:** `GET /v3/application/listings/active?keywords=&limit=100&offset=N` - **Shop scraping:** `GET /v3/application/shops/{shop_id}/listings/active?limit=100&offset=N` - Paginates automatically (100 listings/page, spec maximum) - Price normalized from Etsy's `Money` object: `price = amount / divisor` - Both modes can run together (deduplication by listing\_id) ### Technical notes - Uses the official [Etsy Open API v3](https://developers.etsy.com/documentation/reference) - API specification: `https://www.etsy.com/openapi/generated/oas/3.0.0.json` - Endpoint paths and response schema validated against the spec at build time - Unauthenticated probe at build time: `GET /v3/application/listings/active` → HTTP 403 (not 404), confirming the endpoint path is correct - **Live data validation:** this actor is spec-validated. Live validation against real Etsy data happens on the buyer's first run with their own API key ### vs. competitors | Feature | This actor | epctex/etsy-scraper | |---|---|---| | Data source | Official Etsy API v3 | HTML scraping | | Anti-bot risk | None | High (breaks on Etsy layout changes) | | Structured fields | 23 clean fields | 8–12 inconsistent | | tags, views, favorites | Yes | Rarely | | Price | $1.50/1K | $3–5/1K | ### parse\_confidence trust signal Every record ships a `parse_confidence` score (0.0–1.0). Detects API drift early — your pipeline knows before buyers complain. ### Use with AI agents (MCP) This actor is tagged `MCP_SERVERS` — compatible with Claude, GPT-4o, and other MCP-aware agents: ``` https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=bovi/etsy-listings ``` ### Monetization Pay-per-result (PPE): charged per listing returned. No charge for failed runs. ### Integrations Built for Etsy sellers and e-commerce analysts benchmarking competitor pricing, tags, and shop inventory — the JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code: - **n8n / Make / Zapier** — trigger a run or pipe every new dataset item into 500+ apps (Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, your database) with no code: [n8n](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/n8n), [Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier). - **Webhooks** — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes, to push results straight into your pipeline ([docs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)). - **MCP server** — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any [MCP client](https://mcp.apify.com) so an AI agent can pull this data mid-conversation ([guide](https://blog.apify.com/how-to-use-mcp/)). - **API & SDKs** — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs. See all [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations). ### Pricing example | Volume | Cost | |---|---| | 100 listings | $0.15 | | 1,000 listings | $1.50 | | 10,000 listings | $15.00 | First 10 results are free. You pay only for listings actually returned. ### FAQ **Do I need an Etsy API key?** Yes — a free key is required. Register at [etsy.com/developers/register](https://www.etsy.com/developers/register) (takes ~5 minutes). No credit card needed. The free tier covers most use cases. **Is there a risk of being blocked?** No. This actor uses Etsy's official API v3 — there is no anti-bot, no scraping, and no CAPTCHA risk. **What output formats are available?** JSON (default), CSV, and Excel — via the Apify dataset export or API. **What if the actor returns empty?** If `searchKeywords` returns no results, try a broader term. If you get a 403 error, your API key may be invalid — regenerate it at etsy.com/developers. If `shopId` returns not found, confirm the numeric ID (not the shop name). ### Not affiliated with Etsy This actor is an independent tool that uses Etsy's public API. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Etsy, Inc. # Actor input Schema ## `etsyApiKey` (type: `string`): Your Etsy Open API v3 key (free from etsy.com/developers/register). Passed as x-api-key header to openapi.etsy.com. Required — Etsy API rejects requests without a valid key. ## `searchKeywords` (type: `string`): Search term or phrase to find active Etsy listings (e.g. 'handmade soy candle', 'vintage ring'). Searches across all shops. Leave blank when using shopId. ## `shopId` (type: `string`): Numeric Etsy shop ID to scrape all active listings from a specific shop (e.g. '12345678'). Use instead of or in combination with searchKeywords. Find the ID in the shop URL or Etsy API. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum total listing records to return. 0 = no limit. Default 100. Each API page returns up to 100 listings. ## `enrichDetails` (type: `boolean`): Fetch per-listing details (images, shop name) via a second API call per listing. Adds image\_url and shop\_name fields. Costs 1 extra API call per listing. Default: true. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchKeywords": "handmade soy candle", "shopId": "12345678", "maxItems": 100, "enrichDetails": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset containing Etsy listing records (listing\_id, title, price, currency, quantity, tags, url, views, favorers, shop\_id, etc.) # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
