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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Mercari Scraper 🛒 **The most comprehensive Mercari.com scraper on Apify** — extract product listings, prices, seller info, condition, shipping details, and more from America's favorite resale marketplace. ### 🏆 Why This Actor? | Feature | This Actor | Other Scrapers | |---------|-----------|----------------| | **Data Fields** | 25+ per listing | 5–10 fields | | **Scraping Modes** | Search, Item, Seller | Search only | | **Anti-Bot Bypass** | ✅ Camoufox stealth | ❌ Basic requests | | **Item Details** | Full description, photos, seller | Title + price only | | **Seller Info** | Username, rating, sales count | ❌ Not available | | **Condition & Attributes** | ✅ Brand, size, color | ❌ Limited | | **Shipping Data** | Cost, method, delivery est. | ❌ Not available | | **Price** | $2 per 1K results | $3–5 per 1K | ### ✨ Key Features - 🔍 **Keyword Search** — Search Mercari by any keyword with advanced filters (condition, price range, sort order) - 📄 **Item Detail Scraping** — Visit individual listing pages for full descriptions, all photos, and seller info - 👤 **Seller Profile Scraping** — Extract all listings from a specific seller - 🛡️ **Anti-Bot Bypass** — Camoufox stealth browser with residential proxies beats Mercari's detection - 📊 **25+ Data Fields** — Title, price, condition, brand, size, color, seller rating, photos, likes, shipping, and more - 🔄 **Smart Pagination** — Automatically handles multi-page results - ⚡ **Three Extraction Strategies** — API interception → embedded JSON → HTML fallback for maximum reliability ### 📥 Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | — | Keyword to search (e.g., "pokemon cards", "vintage nike") | | `startUrls` | Array | — | Direct Mercari URLs — search pages, item pages, or seller profiles | | `maxItems` | Integer | 100 | Maximum items to extract (1–10,000) | | `itemCondition` | Select | All | Filter: New, Like New, Good, Fair, Poor | | `minPrice` | Integer | — | Minimum price in USD | | `maxPrice` | Integer | — | Maximum price in USD | | `sortBy` | Select | Relevance | Sort: Relevance, Price ↑↓, Newest, Most Likes | | `itemStatus` | Select | On Sale | Filter: On Sale, Sold Out, All | | `scrapeItemDetails` | Boolean | true | Visit each item page for full details | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Residential | Proxy settings (residential recommended) | ### 📤 Sample Output ```json { "itemId": "m12345678901", "title": "Vintage Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG", "description": "Authentic Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in excellent condition.
