💡 Use Cases

• Resale Arbitrage — find underpriced designer items to resell on Poshmark, eBay, or Mercari

🚀 How It Works

1. Configure — set your search query, department, category, or brand (or provide direct URLs)
2. Run — the actor launches a stealth browser to navigate ThredUp
3. Extract — data is pulled from Apollo GraphQL cache, API responses, or HTML
4. Paginate — automatically navigates through multiple pages of results
5. Output — clean, structured JSON pushed to the Apify dataset

💲 Pricing

• Current live Apify API view: free as of 2026-06-11.
• Recommended paid PPE after successful smoke verification: $5–$8 per 1,000 results, plus Apify platform usage.
• Residential proxy/browser overhead is significant, so the actor now fails zero-item runs instead of silently succeeding with empty output.

⚠️ Empty Results & Diagnostics

If a run extracts zero items, the actor now fails intentionally instead of returning a silent empty-success dataset. This protects users from empty paid runs once PPE is enabled and makes Cloudflare/proxy/selector issues visible in Store health. Check the run log for likely causes such as Cloudflare/anti-bot blocks, empty filters, proxy country/group issues, or extraction drift.

⚠️ Tips for Best Results

• Use residential proxies (default) for highest reliability
• Start with maxItems: 50 to test, then scale up
• Combine searchQuery with department and category for targeted results
• For brand-specific data, use the brand filter with the brand's exact name
• ThredUp has 3.5M+ women's items alone — use filters to narrow results
