## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Vinted Books Scraper: ISBN, Author, Title & Price

![Every Vinted book with its ISBN: search by title, author or ISBN in 26 countries and get each listing's validated ISBN-13, author, language, condition and price](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/TIq2ECM5MrDbfwV1g/records/hero.png)

Scrape second-hand book listings from Vinted in 26 countries. Every book comes with its **ISBN**, author, book title, language, condition, price, photos, description and seller rating, ready to match against other marketplaces or your own catalogue.

### What you can do with it

- **Find cheap books to resell**: search by title, author or ISBN and compare Vinted prices with Amazon, eBay or buyback sites using the ISBN.
- **Look up ISBNs across Vinted**: put ISBNs in the keywords. Vinted also returns other editions of the same book; copies with exactly that ISBN come first, and `isbn13` tells them apart.
- **Monitor a category or a seller**: paste a Vinted Books URL with your filters, or a seller's profile URL.
- **Enrich listings you already have**: paste single book URLs (`/items/...`) to get their ISBN and details.

### Input

| Field                 | Description                                                                          |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Keywords              | Titles, authors or ISBNs. Each runs as a separate search in Vinted's Books category. |
| Country               | Vinted site for keyword searches (default France).                                   |
| Minimum/maximum price | Price filter for keyword searches, in that country's currency.                       |
| Vinted URLs           | Search or catalog URLs with your filters, seller profiles, or single book URLs.      |
| Books per search      | Maximum books per keyword or URL (default 100; 0 means all results).                 |

Example:

```json
{
    "keywords": ["harry potter", "9781408855652"],
    "country": "fr",
    "maxPrice": 5,
    "maxProducts": 200
}
```

```

- `isbn` is the ISBN as the seller entered it. `isbn13` is the validated ISBN-13 (ISBN-10s are converted); it is empty when the ISBN is missing or invalid, so use it for matching.
- `author` and `book_title` come from Vinted's ISBN lookup and can be empty for some books.
- `language` and `condition` are in the language of the Vinted site you search.
- `total_price` includes Vinted's buyer protection fee. It, `service_fee`, `favourite_count` and `view_count` are only available for books found through a search, not for single book URLs.
- Prices are in the seller's currency. Vinted shows listings from other countries on every site.

### Pricing

You pay per book saved. Platform usage and residential proxies are included. Sold or deleted listings are not charged. Set a maximum cost per run to cap large searches.

### Tips

- Vinted returns at most 960 results per query. Larger searches are split into price ranges automatically, so set **Books per search** to 0 to get every book. ISBN searches stay at the first 960 results, where the copies with that ISBN come first.
- Books found by more than one search in a run are saved once.

### For AI agents

Minimal input (give at least one of `keywords` or `startUrls`):

```json
{
    "keywords": ["9781408855652"],
    "country": "fr",
    "maxProducts": 20
}
```

Key output fields per book: `isbn13` (validated ISBN-13, null when missing or invalid), `isbn`, `book_title`, `author`, `language`, `condition`, `price`, `currency`, `total_price`, `url`, `seller_rating`, `vinted_country`. Match books by `isbn13`. `maxProducts` 0 means all results (ISBN searches: the first 960). A summary of the run (saved, unavailable and failed items per search, and `total_found`, the real size of a search split past 960 results) is in the `RUN_SUMMARY` record of the default key-value store.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Titles, authors or ISBNs. Each one runs as a separate search in the Books category.

## `country` (type: `string`):

The Vinted country site for keyword searches. Listings from other countries can appear too; Vinted shows them on every site.

## `minPrice` (type: `number`):

Lowest listing price for keyword searches, in the selected country's currency. Leave empty for no minimum.

## `maxPrice` (type: `number`):

Highest listing price for keyword searches, in the selected country's currency. Leave empty for no maximum.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Vinted search or catalog URLs (for example the Books category with your filters), seller profile URLs (/member/...) for a seller's active listings, or single book URLs (/items/...).

## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`):

Maximum books saved for each keyword or URL. Vinted returns at most 960 results per query, and larger searches are split into price ranges to get past that limit. 0 means no limit (all results). Every book is charged, so set a maximum cost per run for large searches.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "harry potter"
  ],

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
