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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README Scrape and download product information without the limitations of the [eBay API](https://developer.ebay.com), including but not limited to prices, or product descriptions. eBay Items Scraper extracts all and any items from any category page on eBay or by the specific keyword, provided you copy&paste the search URL. Download your data as HTML or Excel table, as well as in JSON, CSV or XML format. **How to use the data extracted from eBay:** - **Establish automated price and bidding monitoring** - scan dozens e-commerce items and products in real-timeto adjust your own buying or pricing strategies. - **Track competitors' prices** - track listings, product, and sales data from various online stores to compare with competitor's and bidder's prices, and back up your decision-making process with real data. - **Facilitate market analysis** - scan and analyze eBay for images, products, related keywords, whole new categories and more to stay ahead of emerging trends and consumer habits. - **Optimize performance and implement lightweight automation** - collect data about products easily, non-manually, be it for market research, machine learning or new product development. For more ideas on how to use data extracted from eBay, check out our [industries pages](https://apify.com/industries) which describe **at least 12 ways** of how web scraping data is used across the projects and businesses of various scale and direction, specifically in the area of [retail and e-commerce](https://apify.com/industries/ecommerce-and-retail). ### Tutorial If you want to know more about how the eBay Scraper works, here's a detailed explanation and [step-by-step guide](https://blog.apify.com/how-to-scrape-ebay-and-extract-listings-data/) with screenshots and examples. ### Cost of usage Keep in mind that it is much more efficient to run one longer scrape (at least one minute) than a few shorter ones. because of the startup time. In average, this scraper will cost you around **0.63 USD** per 1000 items. For more details, see the [platform pricing page](https://apify.com/pricing/actors). If youโ€™re not sure how much CUs you have left on your plan and whether you might need to upgrade, you can always check your limits in the *Settings -> Usage and Billing* tab in [your Console](https://console.apify.com/). The easiest way to know how many CUs you will need is to *perform a test run.* ### Input Parameters This actor will need only two settings from you - **a link** and a **proxy**: - **startUrls** *(required)*: List of [Request objects](https://sdk.apify.com/docs/api/request#docsNav), specifying the search queries/categories you want to scrape. The URL can be any search/category page on eBay. - **proxyConfiguration** *(required)*: Specifies the proxy settings used while running the actor. When running this actor on the platform, the proxy setting must always be set on. The default value is `{ "useApifyProxy": true }` #### Example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=massage%2Brecliner%2Bchair&_sacat=6024" }, { "url": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=motor+parts&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0" }, { "url": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=bicycle+handlebars&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0" } ], "maxItems": 10, "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Output After the eBay actor finishes the scraping run, it will store the scraped results in a dataset and show them to you as output results. The results can be downloaded in various formats. #### Output example: ```json [{ "type": "product", "itemId": "177420320383", "title": "Apple Original 2m USB-C to USB-C Charge Cable, 2m - MM093ZM/A - STOCK CLEARANCEOpens in a new window or tab", "price": 11.99, "priceString": "ยฃ11.99", "listPriceString": null, "shippingCost": null, "returnPolicy": null, "coupon": null, "discountText": null, "condition": "Brand new", "listingType": "Buy It Now", "bidCount": null, "timeLeft": "", "bestOffer": false, "soldCount": "1,045", "sellerName": null, "sellerFeedbackPercent": null, "sellerFeedbackCount": null, "isSponsored": false, "thumbnail": "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/06UAAeSwciNoyysx/s-l500.webp", "images": [ "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/06UAAeSwciNoyysx/s-l500.webp" ], "url": "https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177420320383", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-29T12:20:25.313Z" }] ``` Note that the search results may vary if you're executing scraping from different locations. We recommend to use the proxies for the best scraping results from the same location. ### Proxy usage This actor, as many scrapers in the [retail industry](https://apify.com/industries/ecommerce-and-retail), will require you to use **Proxy servers** to function properly. We don't recommend running it on a free account for more complicated tasks than getting a sample of results. If you are planning to run this scraper for getting more than a few results, subscribing to the [Apify platform](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) will provide you with access to a large pool of proxies. ### Supported countries This actor supports scraping eBay in the following countries and domains: - ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ **US** - https://www.ebay.com - ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง **GB** - https://www.ebay.co.uk - ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช **DE** - https://www.ebay.de - ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ **ES** - https://www.ebay.es - ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท **FR** - https://www.ebay.fr - ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น **IT** - https://www.ebay.it - ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ **IN** - https://www.ebay.in - ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ **CA** - https://www.ebay.ca - ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต **JP** - https://www.ebay.co.jp - ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช **AE** - https://www.ebay.ae - ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ **SA** - https://www.ebay.sa - ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท **BR** - https://www.ebay.com.br - ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ **MX** - https://www.ebay.com.mx - ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ **SG** - https://www.ebay.sg - ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท **TR** - https://www.ebay.com.tr - ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ **NL** - https://www.ebay.nl - ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ **AU** - https://www.ebay.com.au - ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช **SE** - https://www.ebay.se If you'd like any more countries and domains to be added to this scraping list, please email with your request. ### Other e-commerce scrapers We have many more e-commerce and retail scrapers in stock for you; to see the list of those, check out the [E-commerce Category in Apify Store](https://apify.com/store?category=ECOMMERCE). ### Need to find product pairs between eBay and another online shop?
