## Pricing

from $3.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## ThredUp Scraper

Scrape [ThredUp](https://www.thredup.com) — one of the largest online resale marketplaces for women's, kids', and maternity secondhand fashion. Search live listings by keyword, or narrow down with department, category, brand, condition, color and price filters. Look items up directly by item number. No login, no API key, no paid proxy required.

### What this actor does

- **Two modes:** `search` (keyword + rich filters) and `byItemNumber` (direct lookup)
- **Full filter surface:** department, category, brand, condition, color, price range, clearance-only, sort order
- **Real-time inventory** — every run reflects ThredUp's current live catalog
- **Empty fields are omitted** — every record only contains fields ThredUp actually returned

### Output per item

- `itemId`, `itemNumber`, `sku`
- `title`, `brand`
- `price`, `originalPrice`, `discountPercent`
- `category`, `categoryTags[]`
- `condition`, `conditionLabel` (human-readable)
- `sizeLabel`, `sizeValue`
- `departmentTags[]`, `colorNames[]`, `styleTags[]`
- `state`, `thredupGender`, `clearance`
- `listedAt` — ISO 8601 timestamp
- `photoCount` — number of photos on the listing
- `itemUrl` — ThredUp collection page for this item's brand/department/category
- `searchUrl` — ThredUp search results for this item's title
- `recordType: "item"`, `scrapedAt`

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `mode` | string | `search` | `search` / `byItemNumber` |
| `searchQuery` | string | – | Free-text keyword search |
| `itemNumbers` | array | – | Item numbers (mode=byItemNumber) |
| `department` | array | – | `women`, `plus`, `petite`, `tall`, `maternity`, `juniors`, `boys`, `girls`, `designer`, `premium`, `accessories`, `handbags`, `jewelry` |
| `category` | array | – | Product category (dresses, tops, shoes, handbags, jewelry, etc. — 29 options) |
| `brands` | array | – | Brand names, e.g. `Zara`, `Nike` |
| `condition` | array | – | Listing condition tier |
| `colors` | array | – | Color |
| `priceMin` / `priceMax` | int | – | Price range (USD) |
| `clearanceOnly` | bool | `false` | Only clearance-priced items |
| `sortBy` | string | `recommended` | `recommended` / `relevance` / `best_sellers` |
| `maxItems` | int | `50` | Hard cap (1–1000) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | AUTO | Optional Apify datacenter proxy fallback |

> **Note:** `search` mode needs at least one of `searchQuery` or a filter (department, category, brand, condition, color, price range, clearance-only) set — ThredUp's own search API doesn't return a completely unfiltered "browse everything" catalog. Set `searchQuery` (e.g. `dresses`) or add another filter to browse broadly.

#### Example: women's designer dresses under $50

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "dress",
  "department": ["designer", "women"],
  "priceMax": 50,
  "condition": ["Q1_NWT", "Q1_only"]
}
```

#### Example: direct item lookup

```json
{
  "mode": "byItemNumber",
  "itemNumbers": ["231320532"]
}
```

### Data source

ThredUp's public shop GraphQL API (`thredup.com/api/v1/shop/graphql`), the same endpoint that powers thredup.com's own search page. The actor establishes an anonymous browsing session (a cookie ThredUp issues automatically on any page load — no account, login, or signup involved) before querying, exactly as a browser does.

### FAQ

**Do I need a ThredUp account or API key?**
No. The actor uses ThredUp's public search API with an anonymous session, the same one any visitor gets browsing the site.

**How current is the data?**
Live — every run queries ThredUp's catalog in real time.

**Why is `itemUrl` a collection page instead of a single product page?**
ThredUp only exposes individual listings inside search-result panels (no public per-item permalink), so `itemUrl` links to the closest stable, always-navigable page: that item's brand + department + category collection on thredup.com — built from the same URL structure ThredUp's own sitemap uses.

**Why is `price` sometimes higher than `originalPrice`?**
Both values are passed through unmodified from ThredUp's own `itemsV2` API — this isn't a scraping artifact. On a majority of sampled listings, ThredUp's `originalPrice` field is lower than the live `price`, so it does not reliably represent a pre-discount "was" price; treat `price` as the authoritative current listing price and `originalPrice` as a supplementary reference value from ThredUp rather than a guaranteed higher "compare-at" price. `discountPercent` is only emitted for the subset of listings where `originalPrice` actually exceeds `price`.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

What to fetch.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Free-text keyword search (mode=search). Leave blank to browse purely by filters.

## `itemNumbers` (type: `array`):

ThredUp item numbers to fetch directly, e.g. `231320532`.

## `department` (type: `array`):

Restrict results to one or more departments.

## `category` (type: `array`):

Restrict results to one or more product categories.

## `brands` (type: `array`):

Restrict results to one or more brand names, e.g. `Zara`, `Nike`, `Universal Thread`.

## `condition` (type: `array`):

Restrict results to one or more listing conditions.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Result ordering.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. ThredUp rarely blocks datacenter IPs; the actor connects directly and this free Apify datacenter (AUTO) proxy is only useful as a fallback if your IP gets rate-limited.

## MCP server setup

```json

    "mcpServers": {

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,crawlerbros/thredup-scraper"
        }
    }

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
