Etsy Shop Sales & Listing Competitor Monitor

Monitor Etsy competitor shops for sales growth, listing launches, removals, price changes, reviews, and daily velocity. 🛍️ Turn public shop signals into a historical competitor leaderboard without calling another Actor or requiring an Etsy API key.

Why Etsy sellers use it ✨

• 💰 Sales movement: compare visible lifetime sales with the previous snapshot and estimate observed sales per day.
• 🆕 Listing activity: detect visible new and removed listings and changes in active listing count.
• 🏷️ Price intelligence: track visible listing price bands and changed prices.
• ⭐ Reputation signals: monitor review, rating, and admirer movement where publicly available.
• 📈 Historical trends: retain shop snapshots for scheduled daily or weekly monitoring.
• 🏆 Competitor leaderboard: receive a visual HTML report with sales, listings, velocity, and opportunity signals.

This Actor is self-contained. It fetches public Etsy shop pages directly with lightweight HTTP and Playwright retries. If Etsy blocks the main page, it falls back to the shop's public RSS feed for recent listing IDs, titles, prices, images, and publication times. In RSS mode, unavailable shop totals such as lifetime sales and reviews are returned as null, never guessed.

Best use cases 🎯

• Etsy competitor tracking
• Daily shop sales and listing monitoring
• Print-on-demand niche research
• Handmade and digital-product market intelligence
• New-product and pricing strategy analysis
• Seller acquisition and due diligence

Input

{
  "shops": [
    "https://www.etsy.com/shop/CaitlynMinimalist",
    "ModParty"
  ],
  "compareWithPrevious": true,
  "saveSnapshot": true,
  "maxListingsPerShop": 40,
  "historyDays": 30,
  "includeListings": true,
  "includeHtmlReport": true,
  "useBrowserFallback": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  },
  "snapshotStoreName": "etsy-competitor-pulse-history"
}

Run the same input on a schedule and keep snapshotStoreName unchanged. The first run creates a baseline; later runs calculate deltas.

Output 📊

One successful dataset row is produced per shop. The default dataset includes flat columns for direct sorting and export, while the original nested evidence remains available. Use the overview, changes, listings, and allData views.

• totals.sales, totals.activeListings, totals.reviewCount, totals.rating, and totals.admirers
• delta.salesDelta, listingDelta, reviewDelta, and admirerDelta
• delta.newListings, removedListings, and priceChanges
• trend.salesVelocity, listingVelocity, and reviewVelocity
• visible listing price range and category signals
• evidence-based summary, confidence, and suggested actions

The key-value store also contains REPORT.html, REPORT_SUMMARY.json, OUTPUT.json, OUTPUT.csv, and ERRORS.json. Failed shops are not written to the paid dataset.

What “daily sales” means

Etsy publicly displays a shop's cumulative sales count on supported shop pages. The Actor stores that total and subtracts the previous snapshot. A change from 10,000 to 10,012 means 12 observed additional sales between checks. It does not reveal order values, exact units per listing, private revenue, or refunded orders.

Schedule automatic competitor tracking 🔁

1. Run once to establish baselines.
2. Save the input as an Apify Task.
3. Schedule the task daily at a consistent time.
4. Connect run-success or dataset webhooks to email, Slack, Sheets, Make, Zapier, or n8n.

Pricing 💵

Store price: $0.01 per run plus $0.015 per successful shop snapshot using Pay per event.

• 5 competitors checked daily: about $2.55/month
• 10 competitors checked daily: about $4.80/month
• 25 competitors checked weekly: about $1.79/month

The price is designed to cover browser execution and residential proxy transfer while remaining far below typical Etsy intelligence subscriptions. Failed or blocked shops are saved to ERRORS.json and are not charged as dataset results.

Reliability and limitations

• Etsy can change page markup or block requests. The public RSS fallback keeps recent listing monitoring available, but lifetime sales, active listing totals, reviews, ratings, and admirers require an accessible main shop page.
• Only public signals are collected. The Actor does not access seller accounts, private orders, customer data, or internal Etsy analytics.
• Visible listings may represent only the shop page subset Etsy serves during the run.
• Use the data responsibly and comply with applicable law and Etsy's terms.
