## 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

## Vinted Search Scraper

**Vinted Search Scraper** lets you **search Vinted and export product listings as structured JSON, CSV, or Excel** — no login, no browser automation, and no code required. Enter a keyword like `nike air max`, pick a country marketplace, and the Actor queries **Vinted's internal catalog API** to extract every listing it can find: **title, price, size, brand, condition, seller, and photos**.

### What is Vinted Search Scraper?

Vinted Search Scraper is a fast, HTTP-based **Vinted scraper** that turns any search term or category into a clean dataset of second-hand fashion listings. It talks directly to **Vinted's catalog API** (no headless browser), so runs are quick and cheap. Point it at any of **10 Vinted country marketplaces** — `.com`, `.es`, `.fr`, `.de`, `.it`, `.nl`, `.co.uk`, `.pl`, `.cz`, `.lt` — and it returns localized prices, currencies, and inventory for that region.

A standout capability: Vinted caps a single query at **960 items**. This Actor uses **adaptive price-window sharding** to break through that ceiling and collect far more listings than the raw API allows in one request.

### What can Vinted Search Scraper do?

- 🔍 **Scrape Vinted by keyword** — search exactly as you would in the Vinted search bar.
- 🗂️ **Scrape Vinted categories** — target whole catalogs by **Catalog ID** (the number in a category URL, e.g. `2050` in `vinted.com/catalog/2050-shoes`).
- 🌍 **10 country marketplaces** — United States, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Poland, Czechia, and Lithuania.
- 📈 **Break the 960-item cap** — adaptive sharding by price window gathers more listings than a single query allows.
- 💶 **Localized pricing** — prices and currency reported per marketplace (USD, EUR, GBP, PLN, CZK, and more).
- 🖼️ **Full listing detail** — price, total price, service fee, brand, size, condition, seller, favourites, views, and photo URLs.
- 📤 **Export anywhere** — download results as **JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML**, or pull them via the **Apify API**.
- ⚙️ **Apify platform power** — **schedule** runs, **monitor** them, set up **integrations** (Zapier, Make, Slack, Google Drive), and rotate **proxies** — all built in.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `id` | Unique Vinted listing ID |
| `title` | Listing title |
| `price` | Item price (numeric) |

### How do I use Vinted Search Scraper to scrape Vinted?

1. Click **Try for free** (or open the Actor in the Apify Console).
2. Enter a **Search text** keyword — for example `vintage denim jacket`.
3. (Optional) Add one or more **Catalog IDs** to scrape entire categories instead of, or alongside, the keyword.
4. Choose the **Vinted marketplace** (country site) you want to scrape.
5. Set **Max items** to control how many listings to collect.
6. Click **Run**. When the run finishes, open the **Output/Storage** tab and **download your data as JSON, CSV, or Excel**, or fetch it via the Apify API.

### Usage tiers: Free vs. Premium (item limits)

> ⚠️ **Important — the maximum number of items per run depends on your Apify plan.**

| Plan | Max items per run | `maxItems = 0` (unlimited) |
|---|---|---|
| 🆓 **Free** | **Capped at 100 items per run** | Still capped at **100** |
| 💎 **Premium / Paid** | **No cap** — honors `maxItems` as set | Collects **everything available** |

- **Free-plan accounts** are hard-limited to **100 items per run**. Even if you set **Max items** higher — or set it to **0** ("no limit") — the run stops at **100 items**.
- **Premium (paid) accounts** have **no item cap**. Your **Max items** value is honored exactly as entered, and setting **Max items = 0** means **unlimited** — the Actor collects every listing it can find, using adaptive sharding to go beyond Vinted's 960-item-per-query limit.

To lift the 100-item limit, upgrade to any paid Apify plan.

### Input

Vinted Search Scraper takes a simple JSON input. All fields are optional, but you must provide either a **Search text** or at least one **Catalog ID**.

- **Search text** — the keyword to search for on Vinted, exactly as typed into the site's search bar (e.g. `nike air max`).
- **Catalog IDs** — optional Vinted category IDs to scrape instead of, or together with, a keyword (one ID per line).
- **Vinted marketplace** — which country site to scrape; determines inventory, language, and currency. Defaults to `www.vinted.com`.
- **Max items** — maximum unique items to collect (`0` = no limit, subject to plan limits above). Defaults to `100`.
- **Request delay** — politeness delay between API requests in seconds. Defaults to `0.4`.

```json
{
  "searchText": "nike air max",
  "domain": "www.vinted.com",
  "catalogIds": [],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "requestDelay": 0.4
}

### FAQ

#### Is it legal to scrape Vinted?

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but you are responsible for how you use the extracted data. Review Vinted's Terms of Service and your local regulations, and avoid collecting personal or sensitive data. This Actor is intended for lawful purposes such as price research and market analysis. It is provided without warranty; use it responsibly and at your own risk.

#### Do I need a Vinted account or login?

No. Vinted Search Scraper works without any login or credentials — just enter a search term or Catalog ID and run it.

#### How many items can I scrape from Vinted?

That depends on your Apify plan. **Free** accounts are capped at **100 items per run**; **paid** accounts have **no cap** and can collect everything available (set **Max items = 0** for unlimited). See the **Usage tiers: Free vs. Premium** section above.

#### How does the Actor get past Vinted's 960-item limit?

Vinted's API returns at most 960 items for a single query. When you request more, the Actor automatically **shards the search by price window**, running multiple narrower queries and merging unique results — so you can collect well beyond 960 listings.

#### Which Vinted countries are supported?

Ten marketplaces: United States (`.com`), Spain (`.es`), France (`.fr`), Germany (`.de`), Italy (`.it`), Netherlands (`.nl`), United Kingdom (`.co.uk`), Poland (`.pl`), Czechia (`.cz`), and Lithuania (`.lt`).

#### Can I access the data through an API?

Yes. Every run stores results in an Apify dataset that you can fetch through the **Apify API**, or connect to **Zapier, Make, Slack, Google Drive**, and other integrations. You can also **schedule** runs and **monitor** them from the Apify Console.

#### What is a Catalog ID and where do I find it?

A Catalog ID is the number in a Vinted category URL — for example the `2050` in `vinted.com/catalog/2050-shoes`. Add one ID per line under **Catalog IDs** to scrape entire categories.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchText` (type: `string`):

The keyword to search for on Vinted, exactly as you would type it into the site's search bar (for example <b>nike air max</b> or <b>vintage denim jacket</b>). Required unless you provide one or more Catalog IDs instead. If you set both, results are collected for the search term filtered by those categories.

## `domain` (type: `string`):

Which Vinted country site to scrape. This determines the listing inventory, the language, and the currency prices are reported in (for example .com is US dollars, .fr and .es are euros, .co.uk is British pounds).

## `catalogIds` (type: `array`):

Optional Vinted category IDs to scrape, used instead of or together with a search term. Each ID is the number in a Vinted category URL — for example the <b>2050</b> in <code>vinted.com/catalog/2050-shoes</code>. Add one ID per line (for example <b>2050</b>). Leave empty to search by keyword only.

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

Maximum number of unique items to collect before the run stops. Set to <b>0</b> for no limit, which collects up to the ceiling of <b>50,000</b> items per run. Higher values increase run time and compute usage. A single query is capped at 960 items by Vinted's API, so the Actor automatically shards by price window to gather more when a higher limit is set. Note: free-plan accounts are capped at <b>100</b> items per run regardless of this value (including 0); upgrade to a paid plan to remove this limit.

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

Proxy used for all requests. A residential proxy is strongly recommended — Vinted returns HTTP 403 to datacenter IPs. One IP is pinned for the whole run so the session stays valid.

## `requestDelay` (type: `number`):

Politeness delay between consecutive API requests, in seconds. Lower values make the run faster but increase the risk of hitting Vinted's rate limits; higher values are safer but slower. The default of 0.4 seconds is a balanced starting point. Note: free-plan accounts always use a minimum delay of <b>0.4</b> seconds; upgrade to a paid plan to go faster.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchText": "ear phones",
  "domain": "www.vinted.com",
  "catalogIds": [],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  },
  "requestDelay": 0.4
