They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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 Scraper — Product Listings, Prices & Sellers Scrape eBay search results at scale — title, price, condition, listing type, shipping, seller and a direct item link per listing.

One per line. | | `condition` | `new`, `used` or any. | | `priceMin` / `priceMax` | Price range filter. | | `sort` | Best match, price, newest, ending soonest. | | `marketplace` | eBay site (US, UK, DE, …). | | `maxItemsPerSearch` | Max listings per term. | ### Use cases - **Price monitoring** — track current prices for products across a category - **Product sourcing & dropshipping** — find in-demand items and price points - **Competitor tracking** — watch what sellers list and at what prices - **Market research** — aggregate live inventory and pricing at scale ### FAQ **Do I need an eBay API key?** No. This Actor reads eBay's public search pages directly — no account, developer key or OAuth required. **How many listings can I get per run?** Thousands — up to `maxItemsPerSearch` per keyword across paginated results, and you can pass many keywords in one run. **Which eBay sites are supported?** US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada and Australia. Prices come back in each marketplace's currency. **Can I filter by condition or price?** Yes — filter to new or used items and set a min/max price, plus sort by price, newest or ending soonest. **What format is the output?** Clean structured JSON — one record per listing — exportable to JSON, CSV or Excel. ### Related Actors - [Amazon Product Scraper](https://apify.com/hipersoft/amazon-product-scraper) — search & product data from Amazon - [Shopify Product Scraper](https://apify.com/hipersoft/shopify-product-scraper) — full product catalogs from any Shopify store - [Vinted Scraper](https://apify.com/hipersoft/vinted-scraper) — second-hand fashion listings and prices - [Google Maps Scraper](https://apify.com/hipersoft/google-maps-scraper) — local business data and leads ### Notes Collects only publicly available eBay search data; no login or private data.
