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. 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 ## Etsy Reviews Scraper Scrape Etsy shop reviews at scale with automatic proxy fallback (no proxy → datacenter → residential). ### Why use this Actor? - **Simple input**: Paste shop URLs or names; get structured review data. - **Proxy handling**: Runs without proxy by default; if Etsy blocks, it falls back to datacenter then residential and keeps going. - **Structured output**: Each review includes buyer info, listing, rating, date, product details and image URLs. ### Key features | Feature | Description | |--------|-------------| | **Bulk shops** | Process multiple Etsy shops in one run | | **Proxy fallback** | No proxy → datacenter → residential with clear logs | | **Chrome-like requests** | Uses TLS/HTTP fingerprinting to reduce blocks | | **Retries** | Configurable retries and delay between requests | ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `startUrls` | array | **Required.** Etsy shop URLs (`https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShopName`) or plain shop names | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Default: no proxy; fallback is automatic | | `maxReviewsPerShop` | integer | Max reviews per shop (default: 100, max: 5000) | | `maxRetries` | integer | Retries per request (default: 3) | | `retryDelaySeconds` | integer | Delay between retries in seconds (default: 5) | **Example input** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.etsy.com/shop/HereafterLA" }, { "url": "https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnotherShop" } ], "maxReviewsPerShop": 100 } ```` ### Output The default dataset contains one record per review. Each record matches this shape: ```json { "receipt_id": 4934801880, "buyer_user_id": 84577298, "buyer_real_name": "Therese", "buyer_login_name": "b8ddtlb335qm713s", "buyer_image": "https://i.etsystatic.com/...", "listing_title": "Desert Garden Wooden Birthday Card [...]", "review": "I ordered two cards and love them both!", "appreciation_image": null, "product_rating": 5, "response": null, "reviews_count": 10481, "date": "2026-02-08 00:00:00", "product_details": { "shop_average_rating": "4.9", "shop_total_rating_count": "10481", "product_url": "https://www.etsy.com/listing/629949817/...", "seller_name": "HereafterLA", "seller_url": "https://www.etsy.com/shop/HereafterLA", "reviewer_image": "https://i.etsystatic.com/...", "image": ["https://...", "https://..."] } } ``` ### How to use (Apify Console) 1. Open [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com) → **Actors**. 2. Open **Etsy Reviews Scraper**. 3. In **Input**, add shop URLs or names under `startUrls`; set `maxReviewsPerShop` and proxy if needed. 4. Click **Start**. 5. Watch **Log** for progress and proxy fallback messages. 6. In **Output** → **Dataset**, export to JSON or CSV. ### Best use cases - Competitor and brand review monitoring - Sentiment and rating analysis - Building review datasets for research or ML ### FAQ **Why do I see “\[PROXY] Etsy blocked direct request” in the log?**\ Etsy sometimes blocks datacenter IPs. The actor then switches to datacenter proxy and, if needed, to residential proxy and logs each step. **Can I use my own proxy?**\ Yes. Set **Proxy configuration** in the input (e.g. Apify Proxy or custom). If the target blocks that proxy, the actor can still fall back as described above. **What if a shop has no reviews?**\ The actor finishes that shop and continues with the next; the dataset will have no rows for that shop. ### Cautions - Data is from **public** Etsy shop pages only. - You are responsible for complying with Etsy’s terms, privacy laws, and local regulations. ### Support For bugs or feature ideas, use the Actor’s **Discussions** or **Contact** on Apify. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Add Etsy shop URLs (e.g. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShopName) or plain shop names. You can add multiple shops — the actor will scrape each one and combine all reviews into a single dataset. ## `maxReviewsPerShop` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of reviews to fetch per shop (1–5000). The actor paginates through review pages until this limit or until no more reviews are available. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): For display only. This actor always uses residential proxy (3 retries per shop). Your selection here does not change runtime behavior. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.etsy.com/shop/HereafterLA" ], "maxReviewsPerShop": 10 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ "https://www.etsy.com/shop/HereafterLA" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scrapepilotapi/etsy-reviews-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
