Input

To start collecting eBay data, simply fill in the input form. You can collect eBay data based on:

• startUrls - Use direct listing URLs (e.g., https://www.ebay.com/itm/123456789) or search/category URLs (e.g., https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=laptop). Add filters on eBay's search page, then copy the URL here.
• maxItems - Set the maximum number of items to collect. Leave empty for unlimited results (up to 1,000,000).

OR use search filters:

• Search Query - Search term for items (e.g., 'laptop', 'iphone 15')
• Category - eBay category ID or name
• Condition - Item condition (New, Used, Refurbished, For parts or not working)
• Price Range - Minimum and maximum price filters
• Location - Filter by location
• Sort Order - How to sort results (best match, price, newly listed, ending soonest)
• Buy It Now Only - Show only Buy It Now listings
• Free Shipping Only - Show only items with free shipping

Here's what the input configuration looks like in JSON:

{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=laptop"],
    "maxItems": 100
}

Or using search filters:

{
    "searchQuery": "laptop",
    "condition": "New",
    "minPrice": 500,
    "maxPrice": 2000,
    "freeShippingOnly": true,
    "maxItems": 50
}

Use eBay's advanced search filters to target specific product types, conditions, and prices for more focused results.
