Is it legal to scrape eBay?

Our scraper extracts publicly available listing data that eBay displays on search result pages. When used for legitimate purposes such as market research, competitor analysis, or product research, this is generally acceptable.

However, you should ensure your use complies with eBay's Terms of Service. Results may contain personal data — always handle such data in accordance with privacy regulations like GDPR. If you're unsure, consult legal counsel.

FAQ

Can I scrape multiple keywords at once?

Yes. The keyword parameter accepts an array of up to 10 search terms. Each keyword is scraped independently and results are merged into a single dataset.

How does proxy rotation work?

The actor uses Apify's residential proxy pool automatically. Each session gets a fresh proxy IP to avoid detection and rate limits.

What happens if a page is blocked?

The actor has built-in shell-page detection. If a page returns an anti-bot challenge, it automatically rotates to a new session and retries.

Can I use this with other marketplace scrapers?

Yes. eBay listing data pairs well with product data from other platforms. Check out the related actors below for complementary scrapers.
