Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

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.
