## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## eBay & Vinted Sold Prices

What did it **actually sell for**? This actor returns real sold prices for **eBay US** and **Vinted** (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Poland): the median, the typical range, sell-through, and the individual sales behind them.

No login, no cookies, no proxies to configure — it reads from the [Comps](https://swanum.com/comps?ref=apify) sold-price history.

### How the data is collected

- **eBay US** — listings are followed until they end, and the final page is read. A sale is recorded only when eBay's own page says it sold. **Best Offer sales are excluded by default**: eBay hides the accepted offer and shows the asking price, which overstates the market.
- **Vinted** — new listings are sampled and re-checked on a schedule; a sale is recorded only when Vinted's own "Sold" status appears.
- Seller and buyer data are never collected.

### Input

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Search terms | `playstation 5`, `levis 501` (whole-word title match) |
| Marketplace | eBay US or a Vinted country |
| Condition | any / new / used |
| Look-back window | up to 90 days (eBay), 365 (Vinted) |
| Exclude words (eBay) | `box only, broken, for parts` |

### Output

One `summary` row per search term:

```json
{"type":"summary","query":"iphone 13","source":"ebay US","sales":20,"currency":"USD",
 "median":200.5,"p25":167.38,"p75":293.75,"medianWithShipping":208.5,"sellThrough":0.71}
```

…followed by one `sale` row per individual sale (title, price, currency, condition, sold date, listing type, bids, link).

`sellThrough` is sold ÷ ended listings — 0.71 means 71% of tracked listings that ended actually sold.

### Coverage — please read

This is a **tracked history**, not a copy of eBay's sold search. Popular items (consoles, phones, sneakers, big fashion brands) are well covered; niche items may return few or no sales. Every term you search moves up the crawl queue, so a thin result today usually fills in over the following days. Vinted coverage is newer and thinner than eBay's.

### Free web version

The same numbers are available as a free lookup at **[swanum.com/comps](https://swanum.com/comps?ref=apify)**, and as a JSON API.

Independent; not affiliated with eBay or Vinted.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

One item per line, e.g. "playstation 5" or "levis 501". Matched against listing titles (whole words).

## `source` (type: `string`):

eBay US, or a Vinted country.

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

Item condition. On Vinted, 'new' means new with or without tags.

## `days` (type: `integer`):

eBay: up to 90. Vinted: up to 365.

## `exclude` (type: `string`):

Comma-separated, e.g. "box only, broken, for parts".

## `includeBestOffer` (type: `boolean`):

eBay hides the accepted offer; the shown price is the asking price. Off by default.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

How many individual sales to return per term (the summary row is always included).

## Actor input object example

```json

# 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 = {
    "queries": [
        "playstation 5",
        "iphone 13"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("helenium/resale-sold-prices").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.

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "queries": [
        "playstation 5",
        "iphone 13",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("helenium/resale-sold-prices").call(run_input=run_input)

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

  "queries": [

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,helenium/resale-sold-prices"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
