Disclaimer: Unofficial tool for publicly accessible Whatnot listings. Whatnot and related names are trademarks of Whatnot Inc. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Whatnot Inc. For informational, research, aggregation, and market-intelligence use only. Respect applicable terms of use and law.

Whatnot listings scraper for the live-commerce marketplace — Pokémon, sports cards, comics, sneakers, and collectibles. Use it as a Whatnot scraper, Whatnot API alternative, and Whatnot seller shop export: search by keyword, walk a seller username, or paste search / listing / profile URLs. Dataset rows include price (major units, not cents), buy-it-now vs auction, condition, quantity, live-show flags, seller rating, and image URLs. Fast HTTP GraphQL — no login, no headless browser. Call from Python, Node.js, cURL, or Apify MCP.

Built for card flippers, break hosts, reseller pricing, seller intelligence, and scheduled listing monitors.

When to use this Actor

• You need a Whatnot scraper / Whatnot listings scraper that returns flat JSON rows
• You want keyword search, seller shop walk, and pasted Whatnot URLs in one run
• You track buy-it-now vs auction, live-show inventory, and seller ratings
• You scrape Whatnot with Python, Node.js, or MCP and export JSON / CSV
• You run a daily monitor and only want new listing IDs billed

When not to use this Actor

• eBay sold comps / fair-value reports — use eBay Sold Listings Scraper (then eBay Sold Price Intelligence)
• High-end auction hammer — use Goldin Auctions Scraper
• Official Whatnot Seller API replacement — this Actor reads the public marketplace GraphQL the website uses, not seller-authenticated mutations
• Buyer PII, DMs, or order history — public listing and profile cards only
• Realtime websocket bid ticks — catalog snapshots, not in-stream hammer prices

Key features

• Keyword search — searchKeywords across Products, Shows, Users, or all tabs
• Seller shop inventory — cursor-walk shop listings for a handle, not a capped search page
• Start URL parsing — search, listing, /user/{handle}, /live/{id}, and /tag/{slug}
• Buy format + price filters — buy-it-now vs auction, min/max price, live-only
• Flat CSV-friendly rows — price in major units, seller fields on the listing
• Optional detail enrichment — extra getListing for category, timestamps, offerable, sold counts
• HTTP GraphQL path — Chrome TLS impersonation, 256 MB default, no Playwright
• Monitor mode — named Key-Value store of seen listing IDs; later scheduled runs emit only new rows
• Deduplicated IDs across keywords, shops, and URLs
• MCP / AI ready — call from assistants via Apify MCP

FAQ

Is this an official Whatnot API?
No. It calls the same public GraphQL the website uses (search, getListing, getUser shop) and returns structured dataset rows — a practical Whatnot API alternative for pipelines.

Can I scrape a Whatnot seller shop by username?
Yes — set sellerUsernames (or paste a /user/{handle} URL in startUrls). The Actor walks shop inventory with pagination.

Can I paste a Whatnot search URL?
Yes — startUrls accepts search links (query + vertical parsed), listing URLs, seller/shop URLs, live show URLs, and tag URLs.

Do I need a Whatnot login?
No — public marketplace data only.

Does it need a residential proxy?
On Apify, yes — residential. Datacenter IPs often receive empty GraphQL (data: null). Local runs can omit the proxy. Use apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"].

Are prices in cents?
price / currentBid are converted to major units (e.g. 3900 → 39.00 EUR). priceMinor keeps the raw integer.

Buy-it-now vs auction?
Filter with listingType: buy_now, auction, or all. Each row has transactionType, isBuyNow, and isAuction.

What is monitor mode?
With monitorMode: true, seen listing IDs are stored in a named Key-Value store. The first run is the baseline. Later scheduled runs push and charge only IDs not seen before.

Python / Node.js / MCP?
Yes — use the Apify client examples above or Apify MCP prompts.

How many listings per search?
Whatnot paginates 24 objects per page. Raise maxPages / maxItems or add more keywords and seller shops.
