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 ## eBay Active Listings Scraper — Live Listings, BIN/Auction & Competition > **Disclaimer:** Unofficial integration for publicly accessible eBay active listings. **eBay** and related names are trademarks of eBay Inc.

This Actor returns **live active listings** with current prices and competition signals. **eBay Sold Listings Scraper** returns **completed sales** with sold dates and final sold prices. #### How is this different from Sold Price Intelligence? **eBay Sold Price Intelligence** analyzes completed sales and outputs recommended price, demand level, confidence score, and ready-made reports — not live listing rows. #### Do I need proxies? Residential proxies are **recommended** for US and UK. Defaults to geo-targeted Apify Residential Proxy per marketplace. #### Can I scrape multiple keywords at once? Yes — pass an array in `keywords`; each query runs in parallel with the same filters. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): One or more eBay search keywords for active/live listings. Each keyword runs as a separate parallel search with the same filters. ## `count` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of active listings to collect for each keyword. ## `categoryId` (type: `string`): eBay category filter (use '0' for all categories). ## `subcategoryId` (type: `string`): Optional subcategory filter. If set, overrides the main Category field. ## `ebaySite` (type: `string`): Regional eBay domain for active listing search — e.g. ebay.com (US), ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, ebay.fr. ## `sortOrder` (type: `string`): Sort order for active search results. ## `minPrice` (type: `number`): Minimum item price filter (in site currency). ## `maxPrice` (type: `number`): Maximum item price filter (in site currency). ## `itemLocation` (type: `string`): Search items based on seller's location. ## `itemCondition` (type: `string`): Filter by item condition. ## `listingType` (type: `string`): Filter by buy-it-now or auction format. ## `freeShippingOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only return listings that offer free shipping. ## `excludeSellers` (type: `array`): List of seller usernames to exclude from the results. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Select proxies to bypass eBay bot protection. Apify Residential Proxies recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "rtx 4080" ], "count": 100, "categoryId": "0", "subcategoryId": "", "ebaySite": "ebay.com", "sortOrder": "bestMatch", "itemLocation": "default", "itemCondition": "any", "listingType": "any", "freeShippingOnly": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
