eBay Listings Scraper

Scrape listings from eBay (ebay.com): search results and item pages with title, price, condition, shipping, seller and feedback, sold count, images and item specifics. Paste an eBay search URL or an item URL, or type keywords, and export as JSON, CSV or Excel or call it as an API. A built-in cache returns only the new or changed listings on every run.

Target website: ebay.com

✨ Features of this eBay listings scraper

• Search results extraction — every result of a search is opened on its own item page, so each record is complete: price and list price, condition, buying format, shipping, location, returns, seller with feedback and the main image.
• Item page extraction — full item data: quantity and sold count, watchers, all images, categories, brand, model, listing date and the item specifics table, for search results and for item links alike.
• Auctions, variations and offers — the exact auction end time, the options of listings with variations (color, size, network) with their stock state, bulk-price tiers, sale countdown and discount.
• Returns, shipping and payments — return window, who pays for returns, handling time, delivery estimate, shipping service, warranty and accepted payment methods.
• Seller notes and identifiers — the full seller condition notes, UPC, EAN, model number and category ID.
• Search by keyword or URL — type keywords or paste an eBay search URL with its filters (category, price range, condition and more).
• Cache for new listings only — use the same cache project name on every scheduled run to skip unchanged listings.
• Pagination support — walks through the result pages, up to about 10,000 results per search.
• Proxy support — a proxy is used by default, so you do not need to set one up; you can switch to your Apify Proxy.
• No browser required — plain requests keep runs fast and cheap.

🚀 How to scrape eBay listings in 5 steps

1. Sign up for a free Apify account — includes $5 monthly credit.
2. Open the actor page and click Try for free.
3. Fill in the Input fields (an eBay search URL, an item URL or keywords).
4. Click Start and wait for the run to complete.
5. Download results from the Output tab in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

You can also run this actor via the Apify API or integrate it directly into your workflows using Zapier, Make, or n8n.

💰 Pricing for the eBay scraper

This actor uses pay-per-result billing based on the compute units a run consumes.

• New Apify accounts include $5 of free monthly credit.
• The actor uses plain HTTP requests instead of a browser, so it costs significantly less to run than browser-based scrapers.
• A proxy is used by default, so you do not need to configure anything; choosing Apify Proxy (residential) instead costs more.

📦 eBay scraper output data

Every result is one flat record with the keys type, id, url, title, subtitle, condition, priceText, priceMin, priceMax, currency, originalPrice, buyingFormat, acceptsBestOffer, bidCount, shippingText, shippingCost, location, returnsText, soldCount, quantityAvailable, watchers, sellerName, sellerUrl, sellerFeedbackPercent, sellerFeedbackCount, badges, imageUrl, images, categories, categoryId, brand, model, mpn, upc, ean, modelNumber, color, availability, listedAt, lastUpdatedAt, auctionEndsAt, saleEndsIn, discountPercent, discountAmount, volumePricing, variations, soldToday, returnsAccepted, returnDays, freeReturns, returnMethod, handlingTime, deliveryEstimate, shippingService, warranty, paymentMethods, sellerNotes, itemSpecifics, changeType, source, scrapedAt. Every record has all keys; a value the page does not carry is null. Every record comes from its item page (type item); a listing whose item page could not be loaded keeps what the search result showed (type listing). The dataset has 2 views:

• Listings — a compact table of title, image, price, currency, condition, format, shipping, seller, sold count and the listing link.
• Item details — auction end time, sold today, watchers, return days, free returns, handling time, delivery estimate, shipping service, warranty and the listing link.

🔁 Save money: scrape only new eBay listings with the cache

Scheduled runs usually meet the same listings again and again, and without a cache you pay for them every time. This actor has a built-in cache that skips previously scraped listings, so you pay only for new and changed ones across multiple runs.

1. Set Cache project name to any name, for example ebay-iphone-watch.
2. Keep the same name on every run, for example from an Apify Schedule.
3. Each run returns only what is new: changeType: "new" for new listings and "updated" for listings whose title or price changed.

Listings already saved with the same title and price are skipped and do not count towards Max listings, so each run goes deeper into the results instead of repeating the same ones. Different names keep separate caches, and a search result and an item page of the same listing are cached separately.

🐍 How to scrape eBay with Python, JavaScript or the API

Run the actor programmatically with the official Apify clients. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with the token from your Apify Console.

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("confidential_gnat/ebay-listings-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=iphone+13"}],
    "maxItems": 100,
    "cacheProjectName": "iphone-13",
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const run = await client.actor('confidential_gnat/ebay-listings-scraper').call({
    startUrls: [{ url: 'https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=iphone+13' }],
    maxItems: 100,
    cacheProjectName: 'iphone-13',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL — start a run and wait for the dataset:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/confidential_gnat~ebay-listings-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=iphone+13"}], "maxItems": 100, "cacheProjectName": "iphone-13"}'

💡 What you can use eBay listing data for

• Price monitoring and competitor tracking for products and categories.
• Resale and arbitrage research: find underpriced listings and fast sellers by sold count.
• Market research on prices, conditions and shipping for used and new goods.
• Building price comparison sites, alerts and deal feeds.
• Seller research with feedback score and number of items sold.

The data is typically used by resellers, e-commerce teams, price comparison sites, analysts and collectors.

⚠️ Limitations of the eBay scraper

• About 10,000 results per search — eBay serves no more per search; use filters such as price ranges or categories in the URL to cover more.
• No sold or completed listings — those searches need an eBay login.
• Slow by design — the actor paces its requests and retries blocked ones, so large runs take time.

❓ eBay scraper FAQ

Can I scrape eBay legally?

The actor only collects listing data that is already publicly visible on eBay, with no login, paywall or private content. Scraping publicly available data is generally considered lawful (see hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn), but you are responsible for complying with eBay's Terms of Service and applicable laws, especially if you use seller data.

What data does the eBay scraper return?

Each listing has its title, price (or range), currency, condition, buying format, shipping, location, returns, sold count, quantity, watchers and the seller with feedback, plus all images, categories, brand, model, listing date and item specifics. If an item page cannot be loaded after several attempts, the record keeps what the search result showed.

How many listings can I scrape from one eBay search?

Max listings per search or URL limits the saved listings for each start URL or keyword. eBay serves about 10,000 results per search, so narrow big searches with filters.

Do I need a proxy to scrape ebay.com?

You do not have to set one: the actor uses a proxy by default, and it worked in testing. You can turn on Apify Proxy instead, but eBay needs residential proxies, which makes runs more expensive.

Can I run this eBay scraper on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify Schedule for the actor and set a Cache project name so every run returns only new and changed listings.

What output formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS, either from the Output tab or through the Apify API.

Is this the cheapest eBay scraper actor?

Possibly yes. It uses plain HTTP requests instead of a browser, and its built-in cache skips listings you already scraped, so across multiple runs you pay only for new and changed listings. Set a Cache project name and keep it the same on every run to get this saving.
