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.

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.
