What is Whatnot Seller Scraper?

Whatnot Seller Scraper is a Whatnot scraping tool and Whatnot API alternative. It collects four kinds of public Whatnot data in one Actor:

• Seller profiles: followers, sold count, seller rating, review count, average shipping days, Premier Shop status, shop listings, show history and buyer reviews with overall, shipping, packaging and accuracy stars
• Listings: title, description, condition, item attributes, price, current bid, quantity, sale format (auction or Buy It Now), images, seller and category
• Live shows: title, status (live or upcoming), start time, live viewer count, watchlist count, tags, category and host
• Category insights: viewer and live show counts per category, subcategories, the shows running now, and the seller leaderboard for today, this week or live

The easiest way to try it: click Start with the prefilled keyword trading cards. To look at a seller, set What to scrape to Seller profiles, Find by to Seller usernames and enter a username such as pokemonwizard.

What can Whatnot Seller Scraper do?

• 🔎 Five ways to find data: keywords, Whatnot search URLs, direct page URLs, seller usernames, or a category name
• 🧑‍💼 Seller research: profile stats, the seller's shop, upcoming and recent shows, and up to 5,000 written buyer reviews per seller with a star distribution

• 📺 Live show tracking: live viewer counts and watchlist counts for shows running now and upcoming shows
• 📊 Category insights: every top-level Whatnot category ranked the way Whatnot ranks them, or one category with its subcategories, current shows and seller leaderboard

• 🧩 Mixed search: listings, live shows and seller profiles for one keyword in a single run
• ⚙️ Runs on Apify: schedule recurring runs, call it through the API, connect it to integrations like Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier or Make, and export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML

Use Whatnot Seller Scraper from Python or JavaScript

Install the client with pip install apify-client or npm install apify-client, and get your API token from Apify Console.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("parsebird/whatnot-seller-scraper").call(run_input={
    "resultType": "sellerProfiles",
    "findBy": "keywords",
    "keywords": ["graded pokemon"],
    "maxItems": 25,
    "includeReviews": True,
})

for seller in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(seller["username"], seller["followerCount"], seller["soldCount"], seller["rating"])

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('parsebird/whatnot-seller-scraper').call({
    resultType: 'listings',
    findBy: 'keywords',
    keywords: ['psa 10'],
    saleFormats: ['buyNow'],
    minPrice: 50,
    listingOrder: 'newest',
    maxItems: 200,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((l) => console.log(l.price.amount, l.price.currency, l.title, l.seller.username));

Use cases

• Competitor research for Whatnot sellers: compare followers, sold counts, ratings, shipping speed and review sentiment of sellers in your niche.
• Price research: collect asking prices and current bids for cards, sneakers, comics or toys, sorted by newest or price.
• Lead lists: build lists of active sellers in a category from the category leaderboard and show hosts.
• Category and trend tracking: see which categories have the most viewers and live shows, and which sellers lead each one.
• Reputation monitoring: schedule a weekly run of your own profile to track new buyer reviews and the star distribution.
• Stock and price alerts: turn on change monitoring for a search or a seller's shop and get the listings whose price, quantity or status changed.

How it works

1. The Actor reads the same public data the Whatnot website shows to visitors who aren't logged in.
2. Searches return up to 50 results per page. Whatnot's listing search stops near 1,000 results per query, so when you ask for more, the Actor continues the same search in other sort orders and skips listings it already saved.
3. Seller profiles are filled with the shop, reviews and shows in parallel, up to the limits you set.
4. Category insights combine the category's viewer and show counts, subcategories, the shows on the category page (with your filters) and the seller leaderboard.
5. With change monitoring on, each listing is compared with the copy saved by the previous run of the same search in a named key-value store, and a MONITOR_SUMMARY record lists new, changed, unchanged and no-longer-found listings.
6. The run stops at Max results, when Whatnot has no more results, or when your spending limit is reached.

How much does it cost to scrape Whatnot?

Whatnot Seller Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay for each listing, live show and seller profile saved. Platform usage (compute and proxy) is included in the event price, so it isn't billed separately.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Listing	$0.99 / 1,000	$0.89 / 1,000	$0.79 / 1,000	$0.69 / 1,000
Live show	$0.99 / 1,000	$0.89 / 1,000	$0.79 / 1,000	$0.69 / 1,000
Seller profile	$0.99 / 1,000	$0.89 / 1,000	$0.79 / 1,000	$0.69 / 1,000

A seller profile is one charge, including its shop listings, reviews and show history. Category insight records are not charged. At Free plan prices, the prefilled run of 50 listings costs about $0.05, and 1,000 seller profiles cost $0.99. To control spending, use Max results. The run also stops when it reaches the maximum cost per run you set in Apify Console.

Is it legal to scrape Whatnot?

Whatnot Seller Scraper only collects data that Whatnot shows publicly to visitors who aren't logged in: listings, shows, seller profiles and buyer reviews. It doesn't log in and doesn't access private account data, orders or messages. Seller profiles and reviews contain personal data, such as names and usernames. If you store or process that data you're responsible for complying with the GDPR, other privacy laws and Whatnot's terms of service. Consult a lawyer if you're unsure. For more background, read Apify's article Is web scraping legal?

FAQ

Do I need a Whatnot account or API key? No. The Actor reads the same public data the Whatnot website loads for logged-out visitors, so no login, cookies or API key are needed.

Why does a seller have fewer reviews in reviews.items than reviewCount? reviewCount is Whatnot's total of all ratings. Only reviews with written text are listed publicly, so reviews.items holds the written ones, and reviews.distribution shows both numbers (reviewCount and sourceReportedReviewCount).

Are prices in US dollars? Each listing keeps the currency of its seller, for example USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD or JPY, in price.currency. The minimum and maximum price filters use Whatnot's own price filter, which compares listings across currencies.

Does the live show record include the current bid? No. Whatnot sends live bids to viewers of the stream in real time, not in the public page data. Auction listings in search results do include currentBid and bidCount.

Why does showHistory contain mostly upcoming shows? It holds the shows Whatnot lists on the seller's profile, which are mainly scheduled shows and the current one.

What does rank mean in category insights? It is the category's position in Whatnot's own popularity order among its sibling categories. Whatnot doesn't rank purely by the current viewer count, so set Category order to Most viewers if you want that order.

Where are the live shows and sellers in a mixed search? Listings go to the default dataset. Live shows and seller profiles go to the live-shows and seller-profiles datasets of the same run, so each table has its own columns. Open them from the run's Storage tab or through the API.

How does change monitoring know what changed? It keeps the last seen title, price, quantity, status, sale format, live status, current bid, bid count and offer setting of each listing per search. The next run with the same search and filters marks each listing new, changed (with changedFields and the previous values) or unchanged. Listings not seen for 30 days are forgotten.

Can I schedule runs or send results to other tools? Yes. Use Apify schedules for recurring runs, and integrations to send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, webhooks and more. Every run is also available through the API.

Something isn't working. What should I do? Open an issue on the Issues tab with the input you used. We read every report.
