Input

Add your settings in the Apify Console. You can also send a JSON input through the Apify API.

Field	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	Conditional	None	Filtered eBay US search URLs. Each URL must contain an _nkw query parameter.
queries	Conditional	None	Search terms to use without URL filters. Each value must be a non-empty string.
maxItems	No	100	Maximum number of unique listings to save for each URL or query. The minimum value is 1.
delaySecs	No	1	Time, in seconds, to wait between page requests. The minimum value is 0.

Provide at least one search URL or keyword query. You can use both fields in one run.

Input example

{
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=macbook&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=1000%7C2010"
        }
    ],
    "queries": ["iphone 16"],
    "maxItems": 100,
    "delaySecs": 1
}

The limits apply to each URL and query. For example, three searches with maxItems set to 100 can save up to 300 records.

Output

The Actor stores results in the default Apify dataset. One dataset item represents one eBay listing for one search query.

Automation and integrations

You can use Apify features to add this eBay data scraper to an automated workflow:

• Use Schedules to run recurring eBay searches.

Important information

• The Actor searches the EBAY-US marketplace and requests prices in USD.
• Search order and available fields depend on the data that eBay returns.
• maxItems is a maximum value, not a guaranteed result count. A search can return fewer items.
• The Actor removes duplicate listing IDs only within one query. The same listing can occur for two different queries.
• Changes to eBay can affect data availability or Actor operation.
