Is it legal to scrape eBay search results?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as personal information or contact details. They only extract publicly available listing data that eBay displays to all users in search results. We believe our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe for market research and business intelligence.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain business data. Always ensure you comply with eBay's terms of service and applicable laws. If you're unsure about your specific use case, consult your legal team.

FAQ and Support

❓ Common Questions:

Can I scrape eBay internationally? Yes! The scraper supports all eBay domains (.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, etc.) by using the specific URL you provide.

Why only essential data fields? We focus on the most important data points (price, title, image, URL) to provide faster scraping, cleaner results, and lower costs. This approach is perfect for market research and pricing analysis.

Getting duplicate listings in output? Make sure your startUrl includes proper sorting parameters (e.g., &_sop=12 for newest first). Our deduplication system will handle most duplicates automatically.

Can I scrape my own eBay store? Yes! Simply search for your store products or use your store URL with search filters applied.

How do I handle large datasets? For scraping 10,000+ listings, consider breaking your task into smaller chunks. Remember that you can resurrect actors to start from where you left off.
