## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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.

## eBay Product Scraper

### Extract eBay Listings — Prices, Shipping, Seller Info & Sold Data

Scrape eBay search results and get every listing with full structure: title, price (with currency), shipping cost, item condition, seller name and feedback rating, number sold, auction vs Buy It Now status, bid count, end time, image, and location.

This scraper is built for **e-commerce competitive intelligence**, **resale market research**, **historical pricing analysis** (sold listings), **arbitrage opportunities**, and **product trend tracking**. eBay is one of the largest second-hand marketplaces in the world — making it the gold standard for understanding what items actually sell for, not just what sellers ask.

### What data can you extract?

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `title` | string | Listing title as displayed on eBay |
| `itemUrl` | string | Direct URL to the listing |
| `itemId` | string | eBay item ID (numeric, parsed from URL) |
| `price` | string | Price as displayed (with currency symbol or range) |
| `priceNumeric` | number | Numeric price in the listing's currency |
| `currency` | string | Currency code (USD, GBP, EUR, etc.) |
| `shipping` | string | Shipping cost / "Free shipping" text |
| `condition` | string | Item condition (New, Used, Pre-Owned, Refurbished, etc.) |
| `sellerName` | string | Seller username |
| `sellerFeedbackPercent` | string | Seller positive feedback percentage |
| `sellerFeedbackCount` | integer | Total seller feedback count |
| `soldCount` | integer | Number sold (when shown) |
| `isAuction` | boolean | True if auction-style listing |
| `isBuyItNow` | boolean | True if Buy It Now available |
| `bidCount` | integer | Number of bids (auctions only) |
| `endTime` | string | Time left or end date for auctions |
| `imageUrl` | string | Listing image URL |
| `location` | string | Item location |
| `isSold` | boolean | True if sold listing |
| `searchQuery` | string | The query that returned this listing |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp |

### Use cases

- **Resale arbitrage** — Find underpriced items on eBay and resell on Amazon, Mercari, Poshmark.
- **Historical pricing** — Use `soldOnly: true` to extract completed listings and build price-over-time databases.
- **Competitive intelligence** — Monitor competing sellers' price points, seller ratings, and inventory rotation.
- **Trend research** — Track which categories and items are gaining or losing popularity.
- **Authentication research** — Build datasets of authentic vs counterfeit items by sourcing seller and condition data.

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array | Yes | — | Keywords to search on eBay |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | No | 60 | Maximum listings per query |
| `marketplace` | string | No | "ebay.com" | Regional eBay site (com, co.uk, ca, com.au, de, fr, it, es) |
| `soldOnly` | boolean | No | false | Show only completed/sold listings |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | No | 3 | Pages in parallel |

### Example output

```json
{
    "title": "Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB Natural Titanium Unlocked",
    "itemUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/396384729152",
    "itemId": "396384729152",
    "price": "$899.00",
    "priceNumeric": 899.00,
    "currency": "USD",
    "shipping": "Free shipping",
    "condition": "Pre-Owned",
    "sellerName": "trustedreseller_2024",
    "sellerFeedbackPercent": "99.7%",
    "sellerFeedbackCount": 14237,
    "soldCount": 142,
    "isAuction": false,
    "isBuyItNow": true,
    "bidCount": null,
    "endTime": "",
    "imageUrl": "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/abc/s-l500.jpg",
    "location": "Brooklyn, NY",
    "isSold": false,
    "searchQuery": "iphone 15 pro max",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-04-25T12:00:00.000Z"
}
````

### How much does it cost?

This actor uses a pay-per-result pricing model.

- **$0.002 per listing** -- that is $2.00 per 1,000 listings.
- Scraping 60 listings for one query costs approximately **$0.12**.
- Scraping 1,000 listings costs approximately **$2.00**.

There are no monthly fees. You only pay for the data you extract.

### Tips and tricks

- **`soldOnly: true` is gold for resale research.** This filter shows only completed listings with their final sale prices — the closest thing to ground truth on what items actually sell for, not just asking prices.
- **Use specific search queries.** "iphone 15 pro max 256gb unlocked" returns better data than "iphone". Narrow queries yield narrower price distributions and cleaner datasets.
- **Combine with Amazon Product Scraper.** Cross-reference eBay sold prices with Amazon new prices to identify arbitrage spreads.
- **For international markets, switch the `marketplace` parameter.** EU eBay sites have different inventory and pricing — useful for cross-border resale.
