## What's an Apify Actor?

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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## eBay Sold Listings Search Scraper

Find out **what things actually sell for on eBay**. Give it a search term and this scraper returns
eBay's **sold / completed listings** — the real final price of each item, plus when it sold, its
condition, the buying format, the seller, and a link to the listing.

Perfect for **price research, resale comps, market value tracking, and inventory pricing**: instead of
guessing, see the last dozens (or hundreds) of real sales for any product.

### What you get

For every sold item:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `title` | Listing title |
| `price` + `currency` | The price the item **sold for** |
| `best_offer_accepted` | `true` when the seller accepted a lower Best Offer (eBay hides the exact accepted amount; the listed price is shown) |
| `sold_date` | Date it sold (ISO `YYYY-MM-DD`) + the original label |
| `condition` | Brand New, Open Box, Pre-Owned, Refurbished, Parts Only, … |
| `item_specifics` | Brand / model / storage / etc. parsed from the listing |
| `buying_format` | Buy It Now, auction, or Best Offer |
| `shipping` | Shipping cost / free shipping |
| `location` | Where the item shipped from |
| `seller` + `seller_feedback_pct` + `seller_feedback_count` | Seller handle and feedback |
| `url` + `item_id` + `epid` | Link to the item, eBay item id, and eBay product id |
| `image` | Thumbnail image URL |

### Input

```json
{
  "query": "iphone 15",
  "max_results": 60,
  "sort": "recent",
  "condition": "all"
}
````

- **query** — what to search for (required).
- **max\_results** — how many sold items to return (default 60, up to 1200). One item = one result.
- **sort** — `recent` (most recently sold, default), `best_match`, or `price_high`.
- **condition** — `all` (default), `new`, or `used`.

### Pricing

Pay per result — you are billed only for the sold items actually returned. No subscription.

### Notes

- Searches the US eBay marketplace (`ebay.com`).
- "Sold" means the item completed as a sale (eBay's Sold + Completed filter).
- A very niche query may return fewer than `max_results` items — that is the real number of recent
  sales, not an error.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

What to search for on eBay (US). Returns items that have SOLD, with the price each one actually sold for. Examples: 'iphone 15', 'pokemon card psa 10', 'vintage rolex submariner'.

## `max_results` (type: `integer`):

How many sold items to return (default 60, up to 1200). Each sold item is one output row and is billed as one result.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Order the sold items by: most recently sold first, eBay Best Match, or highest price first.

## `condition` (type: `string`):

Only return items in this condition: all conditions, brand new, or used/pre-owned.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "iphone 15",
  "max_results": 60,
  "sort": "recent",
  "condition": "all"
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

All scraped items in the default dataset.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "query": "iphone 15",
    "max_results": 60,
    "sort": "recent",
    "condition": "all"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("good-apis/ebay-sold-search").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.

}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("good-apis/ebay-sold-search").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
