## 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 Item Scraper — Price, Condition & Seller ✅ No API Key

Look up one eBay listing by item number or URL and get it back as one structured
row: price and list price as numbers, the discount, currency, condition, brand,
MPN and UPC, the category path, the full-size photo gallery, and the seller's
name, feedback score, positive rating and store link. No API key, no eBay account
and no cookies required.

### ✨ Why this Actor

- **Paste an ID or a URL.** `336776720041` and
  `https://www.ebay.com/itm/…/336776720041?…` both work.
- **Price monitoring ready.** `price`, `listPrice` and `discountPercent` are
  numbers, with the currency next to them.
- **Seller trust signals in the same row** — feedback count and positive
  percentage, no second lookup needed.
- **Full-size photos.** The gallery is returned as de-duplicated large images.
- **Billed only for a completed lookup.** A blocked page or an upstream error
  fails the run and costs nothing.

### 🔧 How it works

1. Enter an eBay item number or listing URL.
2. The Actor calls the Neuralverge extraction engine.
3. The listing is written as one dataset row.

### Input

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `itemId` | eBay item number or listing URL, e.g. `336776720041` |

```json
{
  "itemId": "336776720041"
}
```

### What you'll receive

One row: `itemId`, `url`, `title` (empty today, see FAQ), `price`, `currency`, `listPrice`, `discountPercent`,
`condition`, `sellerNotes`, `quantityAvailable`, `soldCount`, `watcherCount`,
`buyingFormats`, `hasBestOffer`, `brand`, `mpn`, `upc`, `category`,
`breadcrumbs`, `sellerName`, `sellerUsername`, `sellerFeedbackCount`,
`sellerPositivePercent`, `sellerStoreUrl`, `image` and `images` — plus one
`spec…` column for every line of the listing's "Item specifics" block
(`specBrand`, `specModel`, `specColor` and so on), when the seller filled it in.

Everything arrives in a single Output tab as flat columns: no preview view hides
any field, and no column collapses into a nested cell.

#### Example output (real run)

```json
{
  "itemId": "336776720041",
  "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/336776720041",
  "title": null,
  "price": 75.99,
  "currency": "USD",
  "listPrice": 79.99,
  "discountPercent": 5,
  "condition": "Used",
  "sellerNotes": null,
  "quantityAvailable": null,
  "soldCount": null,
  "watcherCount": null,
  "buyingFormats": null,
  "hasBestOffer": false,
  "brand": "Apple",
  "mpn": "MXK63AM/A",
  "upc": null,
  "category": "Mice, Trackballs & Touchpads",
  "breadcrumbs": [
    "eBay",
    "Electronics",
    "Computers/Tablets & Networking",
    "Keyboards, Mice & Pointers",
    "Mice, Trackballs & Touchpads"
  ],
  "sellerName": "The Coco Store",
  "sellerUsername": null,
  "sellerFeedbackCount": 41143,
  "sellerPositivePercent": 99.8,
  "sellerStoreUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/str/cocosmartphones",
  "image": "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/6rUAAeSw7BNqmbP2/s-l1600.png",
  "images": [
    "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/6rUAAeSw7BNqmbP2/s-l1600.png",
    "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/0VUAAeSw5NJqmbP~/s-l1600.png",
    "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/72oAAeSwC0ZqmbPQ/s-l1600.jpg",
    "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/kxUAAeSw2o5qmbPQ/s-l1600.jpg"
  ]
}
```

When the listing does not exist or has been removed, the run writes one explicit
row instead:

```json
{ "itemId": "100000000001", "url": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/100000000001", "found": false, "message": "..." }
```

### Pricing

Pay per result, charged per dataset row. Starting the Actor is free and there is
no minimum charge per run. Each run writes exactly one row.

- The row is billed whether it carries the listing or is the single
  `found: false` row that stands for "the lookup ran and found nothing" — the
  work was performed either way.
- A run that **fails** is never charged: missing or invalid input, an upstream
  error, a timeout, and a page that was never retrieved all write nothing.

### Free plan limits

On the Apify Free plan this Actor can be started 5 times per calendar month per
user and returns at most 1 row per run. Every Neuralverge Actor has its own
allowance, and a run that finds nothing counts towards it. Any paid Apify plan
removes both limits.

### Integrations & API

The dataset is available through the Apify API, and the Actor can be called from
Apify Integrations, scheduled, or chained into another Actor like any other. Rows
export to JSON, CSV, Excel and Google Sheets.

### FAQ

**Is the listing title included?**
Not at the moment — the data source does not return it for single listings, so
the `title` column stays empty. If you need titles, the **eBay Search Scraper**
and **eBay Store Scraper** Actors by Neuralverge return them for every listing.

**Which fields are often empty?**
`sellerNotes`, `quantityAvailable`, `soldCount`, `watcherCount`, `upc`,
the `spec…` columns and `sellerUsername` are empty on many listings. Price,
condition, brand, category, images and the seller block are the reliable ones.

**Can I look up many listings?**
One listing per run. Start several runs in parallel or loop over IDs with the
Apify API.

**Do I need an eBay account or cookies?**
No.

## MCP server setup

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).
