eBay Product Scraper

Look up any eBay listing by item ID or URL and export title, price, currency, images, and product URL. One dataset row per listing — ready for CSV, Excel, or JSON.

Built for Apify Console, API, MCP agents, and integrations (Make, Zapier, n8n). This Actor reads product-detail pages. It does not search eBay or pull sold-listing history.

What you get

Field	Example
title	Adidas Women's NMD_R1 Sneakers…
productId	197666598752
url	https://www.ebay.com/itm/197666598752
imageUrl	https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/…/s-l500.jpg
price	included when the listing page exposes it
currency	included when the listing page exposes it

Each input is one listing. That is not the same product as a search scraper, which returns many listings per keyword.

Sample output

Live row from item ID 197666598752 (ebay.com):

{
  "input": "197666598752",
  "type": "product",
  "productId": "197666598752",
  "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/197666598752",
  "title": "Adidas Women's NMD_R1 Sneakers - IG8338 - Beige/White - US Sizes",
  "imageUrl": "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/hvAAAeSw9-RotybZ/s-l500.jpg",
  "images": [
    "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/hvAAAeSw9-RotybZ/s-l500.jpg"
  ],
  "domain": "com"
}

How to run

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Paste item IDs or ebay.*/itm/… URLs, one per line.
3. Optional: marketplace, max results.
4. Click Start. Open the Output tab when the run finishes.

Example input

{
  "productIds": [
    "197666598752",
    "https://www.ebay.com/itm/197666598752"
  ],
  "domain": "com",
  "maxResults": 10
}

Duplicate IDs (including the same listing as ID and URL) are fetched once.

API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/datacortex~ebay-product-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"productIds":["197666598752"],"domain":"com"}'

Replace YOUR_TOKEN with an Apify API token.

Use with MCP / agents

This is a normal Apify Actor. Agents call it through Apify MCP — you do not run a separate MCP process.

Pin this Actor as a tool (after it is public):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=datacortex/ebay-product-scraper"
    }
  }
}

The agent should fetch-actor-details on datacortex/ebay-product-scraper, then run it with the same JSON as Example input above. Running Actors requires an Apify token (OAuth in the client, or Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>).

Pricing

$5.00 per 1,000 products + $0.001 per run.

Each input is one lookup and one dataset row. That is not the same product as a search scraper ($0.50 / 1,000), which returns many rows per query.

Event	When it fires	Price
apify-actor-start	Once when the run starts	$0.001
apify-default-dataset-item	Once per dataset row (one product)	$0.005 ($5.00 / 1,000)

Job	Rows	You pay
1 product	1	$0.001 + $0.005 = $0.006
10 products	10	$0.001 + $0.050 = $0.051
100 products	100	$0.001 + $0.500 = $0.501
1,000 products	1,000	$0.001 + $5.000 = $5.001

Set a max total charge per run so a long list cannot overrun budget. The Actor stops when that limit is reached.

Input reference

Field	Required	Default	Notes
productIds	yes	—	IDs or URLs, max 1,000, duplicates skipped
domain	no	com	com, co.uk, de, ca, com.au
maxResults	no	all	Hard cap across the list

Limitations

• Product-detail pages only. This Actor does not search eBay or download sold-listing history.
• Title, URL, item ID, and images come from the listing page. price and currency are included when the page exposes them; some listings only hydrate price in the browser.
• Unavailable or unparseable listings return an error row.
• Failed lookups write one type: "error" row so you can see which ID failed.
