Etsy Scraper: Bestsellers, in-cart counts and shop sales per day

Scrape Etsy search results and shops into one table: title, price, original price and discount, the Bestseller, Popular now and Star Seller badges, whether it is an ad or a digital download, and the numbers buyers see but other scrapers skip: how many people have each item in their cart and how many sales the shop has made. Turn on the daily schedule and every run adds sales since your last run and sales per day for each shop.

Built for Etsy product research: find what sells before you make it, watch competitor shops, and track which listings are heating up. No Etsy account, no API key, no cookies to paste.

One real row

From a test on 2026-10-09, search budget spreadsheet google sheets, page 1:

{
  "type": "listing",
  "source": "search",
  "searchQuery": "budget spreadsheet google sheets",
  "page": 1,
  "position": 2,
  "listingId": "4316136064",

  "shipsFrom": "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-09T23:41:12Z"
}

And a shop summary row (Shop mode), with the comparison fields that appear from the second scheduled run on:

{
  "type": "shop",
  "shopName": "DesignStudioTeti",
  "url": "https://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignStudioTeti",
  "slogan": "Printable Planners, Calendars, Resume Templates & more",
  "location": "Houten, The Netherlands",
  "rating": 4.9,
  "reviewCount": 7572,
  "totalSales": 84425,
  "admirers": 8063,
  "yearsOnEtsy": 13,
  "previousTotalSales": 84301,
  "salesSinceLastRun": 124,
  "hoursSinceLastRun": 24.0,
  "salesPerDay": 124.0
}

The comparison values above show the format; they depend on your own previous run.

What you can do with it

• Validate a product idea: search the keyword, count Bestseller and Popular now badges on page 1, look at prices and discounts, and see how many sales the shops behind those listings have.
• Spy on competitor shops: schedule Shop mode daily and get each shop's sales per day, new items and which items people are adding to their carts.
• Find rising listings: inCartsChange and becameBestseller tell you what started selling since the last run.
• Price research: original price, sale price and discount for every card, filtered by price range.
• Lead lists of Etsy sellers: shop name, tenure, total sales and where they ship from.

Input

Field	Type	What it does
mode	search, shop or listing	What to scrape. Default search.
searchQueries	list of text	Keywords, one per line, as typed on Etsy (Search mode).
shopUrls	list of text	Shop URLs or shop names (Shop mode).
listingUrls	list of text	Listing URLs or ids (Listing mode).
maxItems	number	Listings per keyword or per shop. Default 48. In Shop mode, 0 returns only the summary row.
maxPages	number	Safety cap on pages per keyword or shop. Default 5.
sortBy	relevance, newest, price_low, price_high, top_reviews	Search order.
digitalOnly	true/false	Only instant digital downloads.
minPrice, maxPrice	number	Price range in USD.
includeAds	true/false	Keep sponsored cards (marked isAd). Default true.
compareWithPreviousRun	true/false	Add the change since your last run. Default true.
proxyConfiguration	proxy	US residential by default.

Example, three keywords, digital only:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQueries": ["digital planner", "wedding invitation template", "svg cut file"],
  "digitalOnly": true,
  "maxItems": 60
}

Example, daily shop tracking:

{
  "mode": "shop",
  "shopUrls": ["https://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignStudioTeti", "AbbyOrganizes"],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "compareWithPreviousRun": true
}

How sales tracking works

Etsy shows each shop's total number of sales. With compareWithPreviousRun on, the Actor saves that number (and each listing's in-cart count, price and Bestseller badge) in a key-value store named etsy-scraper-state in your own Apify account. On the next run it subtracts:

• salesSinceLastRun = total sales now minus total sales at your previous run
• salesPerDay = the same, scaled to 24 hours (shown when the runs are at least one hour apart)
• inCartsChange, previousPrice and becameBestseller for each listing seen before

Schedule the Actor once a day (Apify Schedules) for clean daily numbers. The state belongs to your account only; delete the key-value store to start over.

Output

Every row has a type:

• listing: a card from a search page or a shop page.
• shop: a shop summary (Shop mode), one per shop.
• listingDetail: a full listing page (Listing mode) with rating, reviewCount, category, categoryPath, quantityAvailable, availability, description, shopRating, shopReviewCount, shopSalesApprox, shopFavorites, isBestseller, and boughtLast24h / inCartsCount when Etsy shows them (in a test on 2026-10-10 a budget template page showed 59 purchases in the past 24 hours).
• error: something that could not be read. Free.

Notes on the fields:

• inCartsCount comes from Etsy's "N people have this in their cart" note. Etsy shows it on shop pages and some listing pages, not on search cards; "Over 20" is returned as 20 with the original text in inCartsText. It shows up mostly on physical items: in a test on 2026-10-10, 1 of 190 digital-download cards in six shops carried it.
• Etsy shows Bestseller and Popular now badges on search cards and listing pages, not on shop pages. To see which of a shop's items carry a badge, search its keywords or use Listing mode.
• yearsOnEtsy is 0 for shops younger than one year.
• shopSalesApprox is the rounded figure shown on search cards ("9.9k sales"). The exact count is totalSales on the shop row.
• Search results include ads by default because they are part of what buyers see. Use isAd to filter them.

Error codes (never charged)

Code	Meaning
INVALID_INPUT	A shop name, listing URL or option could not be understood. The message says which.
BLOCKED	Etsy refused the page after several fresh sessions. Run again later; each run uses new IPs.
NOT_FOUND	The shop or listing does not exist anymore (Etsy answered 404).
NO_DATA	The listing page opened but had no product data.
NOT_REACHED	The run timeout came before this input. Opening an Etsy session takes 30 to 90 s, so give runs at least 300 s.

If Etsy refuses every session in a run, the run ends without delivering or charging anything.

Pricing

Pay per event, no monthly fee:

Event	Price
Listing delivered (search or shop card)	US$ 0.006 (US$ 6.00 per 1,000)
Shop summary delivered	US$ 0.006
Full listing page delivered	US$ 0.015
Run started (only after the bot protection is passed)	US$ 0.02

Examples: one keyword, 60 listings: about US$ 0.38. Ten competitor shops tracked daily with their 40 newest items each: about US$ 2.48 per day. Apify platform usage and the residential proxy are included.

Limitations

• Etsy uses strong bot protection. Each run opens a real browser session first, which takes 30 to 90 seconds and sometimes needs a few IPs (about 1 attempt in 10 is refused and the next IP is tried). After that, pages load in about a second each. Keep the run timeout at 300 s or more; with less, inputs come back as free NOT_REACHED rows.
• Search pages show up to about 60 listings and Etsy limits how deep search goes; use more specific keywords for more coverage instead of many pages.
• Etsy does not publish per-listing sales. Shop sales, badges and in-cart counts are the public demand signals; this Actor returns them exactly as Etsy shows them.
• Prices are in USD as seen from the US.
• Only public pages are read. No login, no buyer data, no private messages.

FAQ

Do I need an Etsy API key? No.

Why is the first page slower? The run first opens a browser to pass Etsy's protection, then reuses that session for fast page loads.

Can I get sales for a single listing? Etsy does not publish a sales total per listing. Listing mode returns boughtLast24h when Etsy shows "N people bought this in the past 24 hours"; combine it with the shop's daily sales, the in-cart count and the Bestseller badge.

Does it work for non-English Etsy? Pages are read in English from the US. Listings from every country appear.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Daily schedules are what make salesPerDay useful.

Changelog

• 18 Oct 2026: a run with a timeout too short to open the first session now says so (NOT_REACHED) instead of reporting a block. An empty input runs the example search.
• 0.1 (2026-10): search, shop and listing modes; demand badges; in-cart counts; shop sales; daily comparison.
