They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Aftermarket Parts — Price, Brand Tier & Fitment Search eBay aftermarket auto parts by part name and (optionally) a vehicle, and get price, condition, brand, seller and a hand-authored **brand-quality tier** — plus real **fitment** via eBay's own compatibility check. Bring your own free eBay developer key. ### What it does 1. Authenticates with **OAuth client-credentials** using your eBay App ID + Cert ID (Production). 2. Searches the eBay **Browse API** (`item_summary/search`), by default inside eBay Motors Parts & Accessories (category 6030). 3. For each listing returns: title, price, currency, condition, brand, seller, seller feedback, buying options, item URL, image, location. 4. Attaches `brandTier` — **OE/Premium**, **Mid** or **Budget** — from a curated brand map (Bosch/Denso/NGK/Brembo/Bilstein/Aisin/Continental = OE/Premium; Meyle/Monroe/TRW/Sachs = Mid; everything else = Budget). This quality signal is the differentiator; eBay exposes the brand but not its tier. 5. If you pass a vehicle (`make`/`model`/`year`, optional `trim`/`engine`), runs eBay's **check_compatibility** on each listing and sets `compatibility` to `COMPATIBLE` / `NOT_COMPATIBLE` / `UNDETERMINED`. ### You need an eBay key (free) Create a free application at **developer.ebay.com**, get your **Production** keys, and pass: - `clientId` — App ID / Client ID (secret) - `clientSecret` — Cert ID / Client Secret (secret) Both are stored as secret inputs. Without them the actor cannot run. ### Example inputs **Price scan** ```json {"query":"brake pads","maxResults":50,"clientId":"YOUR_APP_ID","clientSecret":"YOUR_CERT_ID"} ```` **With vehicle fitment** ```json {"query":"brake pads","make":"Honda","model":"Accord","year":"2020","clientId":"YOUR_APP_ID","clientSecret":"YOUR_CERT_ID"} ``` **New only, cheapest first** ```json {"query":"oil filter","filter":"conditions:{NEW}","sort":"price","clientId":"YOUR_APP_ID","clientSecret":"YOUR_CERT_ID"} ``` ### Output Clean JSON, one row per listing — including `brandTier` and (if a vehicle was given) `compatibility`. ### Important: fitment is a signal, not a guarantee A `COMPATIBLE` verdict comes from eBay's compatibility check, which relies on seller-supplied fitment data — it can be missing or wrong. `UNDETERMINED` means the listing has no fitment catalog. Always verify the exact part number against your vehicle before buying. The `brandTier` is a convenience heuristic, not an endorsement. ### Pricing Pay per result — **$3.00 per 1,000 results**. BYO eBay key, so you use your own eBay rate limits; you only pay Apify for the results returned. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): Part to search for, e.g. "brake pads", "oil filter", "spark plug". ## `make` (type: `string`): Optional.
