Swappa Listings Scraper
Scrape Swappa listings for any phone, laptop, or gadget, up to a million per run. Every listing comes with its price, condition, storage, carrier, and seller details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Swappa's marketplace pages are built for browsing, not for bulk analysis. This Actor reads the public listing feeds directly, filtered by search term, category, or condition, and returns each match in one fixed schema. Use it to track used electronics prices, monitor inventory, or feed your own pricing engine.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Swappa for |
|---|---|
| Market researchers | Track used phone and laptop prices across conditions and carriers |
| Resellers | Find undervalued listings to flip on other marketplaces |
| Price comparison sites | Feed current Swappa asking prices into their own comparison tables |
| Data analysts | Build historical price datasets for depreciation models |
What it does
This Actor collects Swappa listings by search query or category, and returns each one as a flat row with price, condition, storage, carrier, and seller information.
- 🔍 Search or browse: Enter a keyword like 'iphone 13' or pick a category like 'laptops' to collect matching listings.
- 📱 Condition filter: Narrow results to Mint, Good, or Fair condition, or leave it open for all listings.
- 📊 Structured rows: Each listing returns as a flat record with price, condition, storage, carrier, and seller details.
- ⚡ Scale to a million: Set maxItems from 1 to 1,000,000 listings per run, with pagination handled for you.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your searchQuery or category is spelled correctly and that the condition filter is not too restrictive. Try removing the condition filter or using a broader search term.
The Actor stops before reaching maxItems.
Swappa may not have enough listings matching your filters. Try broadening your search or removing the condition filter.
Some listings are missing fields like storage or carrier.
Not all sellers provide complete information. The Actor returns whatever is available on the listing page, so some fields may be empty.
I get an error about invalid category.
Make sure you use the exact category slug from the input schema, such as 'cell-phones' or 'laptops'. The enum list in the input editor shows all valid options.
The run is slow.
Swappa's pages can be slow to load. You can increase the timeout or reduce maxItems to speed up the run.
