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 ## eBay Search Scraper Paste any eBay search URL and get back structured listings as JSON or CSV. ### What it collects - Item ID and listing URL - Title - Price and currency - Condition (New, Used, Refurbished, etc.) - Shipping - Seller name and feedback score - Item location - Product image URL - Sponsored flag - Sold count and watch count (when eBay shows them) ### How to use 1. Go to the Input tab. 2. Paste your eBay search URL. 3. Set how many items you want (default 100, max 1000). 4. Hit Start. 5. Download from the Dataset tab as JSON or CSV. ### Example input ```json { "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=massage+recliner+sofa+chair&_sacat=6024&_sop=12", "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Example output ```json { "itemId": "125678901234", "title": "Massage Recliner Sofa Chair Full Body Shiatsu Electric Heat", "price": "299.99", "currency": "USD", "condition": "New", "shipping": "Free shipping", "sellerName": "best_furniture_deals", "sellerFeedback": "99.5%", "itemLocation": "Los Angeles, California", "itemUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/125678901234", "imageUrl": "https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/xxxxx/s-l300.jpg", "isSponsored": false, "soldCount": "42 sold", "watchCount": "15 watchers", "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=massage+recliner+sofa+chair", "scrapedAt": "2024-01-15T12:34:56.789Z" } ``` ### Tips - Apply eBay's filters (category, price, condition, sort order) in the URL before you run. - `_sop=12` sorts by newest listings first. - Pagination is automatic. The actor stops when it hits your limit or runs out of results. ### Limitations - All data comes from search pages. Individual listing detail pages are not fetched. - Sold and watch counts only show up when eBay includes them in the search snippet. - Some fields may be absent depending on listing type or region. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrl` (type: `string`): The eBay search results URL to scrape. The actor fetches one page per run. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Per-request timeout in seconds. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=laptop&_sacat=0", "requestTimeoutSecs": 60 } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=massage+recliner+sofa+chair" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("kawsar/ebay-scrapper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
