## Pricing

from $2.49 / 1,000 listings

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?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Depop Monitor — New Listings, Prices & Discord Alerts

> **Disclaimer:** Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Depop or Etsy, Inc. Data is read from publicly accessible search pages only. No login. You are responsible for complying with applicable law (including GDPR where personal data appears) and the site’s terms. No warranty on accuracy or availability. Provided for informational and research use.

**Depop Monitor** is a **Depop scraper** and **Depop API alternative** for public search cards. Each run reads one newest-first page (about 24 listings) and exports **price**, **original price**, **brand**, **size**, **seller**, and **photo** as **JSON**. Schedule it and get **Discord** or **Telegram** alerts when an unseen item appears. Call it from **Python**, **Node.js**, or an **MCP** assistant. Fast HTML fetch, no browser.

**Best for:** resellers who already run a Vinted monitor and want the same new-listing loop on Depop.

### When to use this Actor

- **New listing alerts** — Apify Scheduler plus Discord / Telegram for unseen search cards
- **Depop scraper keyword run** — one newest-first page of prices, brands, and sizes
- **Cross-market price check** — GB, US, AU, CA, or an EU country cookie
- **Python / Node.js / MCP pipelines** — structured dataset, JSON or CSV export

### When not to use this Actor

- **Vinted catalog** — use [Vinted Monitor](https://apify.com/crawloop/vinted-monitor)
- **Sold comps** — this Actor reads the public search page. For completed sales, use [eBay Sold Listings Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/ebay-sold-listings-scraper)
- **Private messages, emails, or phone numbers** — not collected
- **Deep pagination** — each keyword is one search page

### Key features

- **Keyword or search URL** — newest-first sort, or a pasted Depop search URL with its filters
- **One request per search** — one HTML page, no item-page crawl
- **Monitor mode** — named Key-Value store of seen slugs; the first run seeds silently
- **Discount pair** — current price and the crossed-out full price when the card shows both
- **Discord and Telegram** — photo, price, brand, size, seller
- **Country markets** — GB, US, AU, CA, IE, FR, DE, IT, NL

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |

| `maxItems` | Integer | `24` | Cap per page |
| `monitorMode` | Boolean | `false` | Delta tracking and alerts |
| `emitExisting` | Boolean | `false` | Also write the seed snapshot |
| `monitorStoreName` | String | `depop-monitor-state` | Named store for seen IDs |
| `discordWebhook` | String | — | Discord webhook |

- Compare a GB ask with a US ask by running two scheduled tasks
- Drop new cards into a sheet next to [Vinted Monitor](https://apify.com/crawloop/vinted-monitor)
- Pull a one-off Depop scraper dataset into Python or Node.js and export JSON or CSV

### Integration examples

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("crawloop/depop-monitor").call({
    searchTerms: ["nike dunk"],
    country: "gb",
    maxItems: 24,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("crawloop/depop-monitor").call(run_input={
    "searchTerms": ["nike dunk"],
    "country": "gb",
    "maxItems": 24,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], item["price"])
```

#### cURL

```bash

Example prompts:

- "Run Depop Monitor for nike dunk in GB and return the top 20 rows as JSON"
- "Start a Depop monitor for carhartt in the US and list only new listings"
- "Chain Depop Monitor then Vinted Monitor for the same keyword and compare prices"

### Suite next step

After a Depop hit, check the same keyword on [Vinted Monitor](https://apify.com/crawloop/vinted-monitor) for the EU ask. For US sold comps, run [Poshmark Sold Listings Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/poshmark-sold-listings-scraper). For Japan sold prices, run [Mercari Japan Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/mercari-japan-scraper). For StockX ask, bid, and last sale, run [StockX Listings Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/stockx-listings-scraper).

### FAQ

**Is this a Depop scraper?**\
Yes. A keyword or search URL returns the current newest-first page as a dataset you can download as JSON or CSV.

**Is this a Depop API alternative?**\
It reads the public search page and returns structured JSON. There is no login and no official API key.

**Why is the first monitor run empty?**\
It stores the current page so later runs can alert only on new slugs. Turn on `emitExisting` if you also want that snapshot.

**Which countries can I scrape?**\
GB, US, AU, CA, IE, FR, DE, IT, and NL. The country cookie sets the currency on the cards.

**Why one page?**\
A monitor tick is one request. Newest-first is the page resellers poll.

**The run failed with a block message.**\
Keep the residential proxy on. A challenge page is a failed run, so seen IDs are left unchanged.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Keywords resolved on depop.com search, newest first. One HTML page per keyword (about 24 cards).

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional https://www.depop.com/search/ URLs. Filters already in the URL are kept.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Depop country cookie. Prices follow this market.

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

Cap per search page. The public search page returns about 24 cards.

## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`):

Remember seen listing IDs. The first run seeds silently. Later scheduled runs save only new cards and send alerts. One request per run — use Apify Scheduler.

## `emitExisting` (type: `boolean`):

Also write the current page on the seed run. Alerts stay off for that seed.

## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`):

Named Key-Value store for seen listing IDs. Change it to keep separate watches.

## `discordWebhook` (type: `string`):

Optional Discord webhook for new-listing embeds (title, price, photo, seller).

## `telegramToken` (type: `string`):

Optional Telegram bot token for new-listing photo alerts.

## `telegramChatId` (type: `string`):

Telegram chat ID or channel username that receives alerts.

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

Residential proxy. Platform usage is paid by the user so empty monitor ticks are not developer proxy cost.
