Getting started

1. Set your search

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
query	Yes	—	Search keyword (e.g. "iphone 15", "digital camera")
maxResults	No	50	Maximum number of listings to collect (20–500)
maxSearchPages	No	5	Maximum pages to scrape. Each page has up to 60 listings (1–20)
sort	No	best_match	Sort order — see Sort options below
conditions	No	—	Condition filter — see Condition filter below
minPrice	No	—	Minimum price in USD
maxPrice	No	—	Maximum price in USD
shipToCountry	No	—	Filter by shipping destination country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3, e.g. USA, GBR)
shipToZipCode	No	—	US ZIP code for more precise location filtering (USA only, e.g. 10001)

2. Run it

Click Start in the Apify console, or use the API:

{
  "query": "iphone 15",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "sort": "price_asc",
  "conditions": "1000",
  "maxPrice": 700,
  "shipToCountry": "USA"
}

3. Get your data

Results are saved to an Apify dataset as each page completes. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or stream directly into your app via the Apify API.

Sort options

Value	Description
best_match (default)	eBay's default relevance ranking
newly_listed	Most recently listed first
ending_soonest	Auction end time, soonest first
price_asc	Price + shipping, lowest first
price_desc	Price + shipping, highest first
distance	Nearest first (requires shipToCountry)

---

Condition filter

eBay condition codes vary by category. To find the right value for your search:

1. Run a search on eBay and apply the condition filter you want
2. Copy the LH_ItemCondition value from the URL (e.g. 1000%7C1500)
3. Paste it into the conditions input field — URL-encoded values are handled automatically

Common condition codes:

Code	Condition
1000	New
1500	Open box
2000	Certified Refurbished
3000	Used
7000	For parts or not working

Combine multiple conditions with | — for example 1000|3000 for New and Used.

JavaScript / TypeScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

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

const run = await client.actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID').call({
  query: 'iphone 15',
  maxResults: 100,
  sort: 'price_asc',
  shipToCountry: 'USA',
});

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

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN')

run = client.actor('YOUR_ACTOR_ID').call(run_input={
    'query': 'iphone 15',
    'maxResults': 100,
    'sort': 'price_asc',
    'shipToCountry': 'USA',
})

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

Limitations

• Volume: Up to 500 listings per run (up to 20 pages × 60 listings per page).
• Search results only: Data is extracted from search result pages. Listing detail pages (full description, all images) are not visited.
• Auction bid counts: Live bid counts may be slightly delayed as eBay updates them periodically.
